Ways to improve your TOEIC score

Buy a speaking dictionary. Students often find the questions in the listening difficult even though it only uses words they already know. This is usually because they don't recognize the word because they have only read it before and never heard it. Listening to the pronunciation of each new word you learn and repeating it a couple of times means you are more likely to remember it and more likely to understand it when you hear it. Many electronic dictionaries now have this function. If you are embarrassed about doing this in public, you will need to buy some headphones to go with your electronic dictionary.
