2012: OnlineEnglish TOEIC Test Preparation Course.

OnlineEnglish (http://www.onlineenglish.eu) started in 2003 as a web based preparation platform for students sitting the TOEIC test. Over the years following, OnlineEnglish has been developed and enriched by the experience of an official TOEIC test center and authorized TOEIC test administrators, who together with very experienced native English teachers, support all students during their training.

The principle behind OnlineEnglish is to encompass those successful benefits and techniques that a student enjoys in the classroom, into a training platform to prepare students for the TOEIC test.

OnlineEnglish respects the fact that every student has different training needs, skill areas and levels, therefore OnlineEnglish automatically creates an individual training program focused upon each student's needs; the same way as in a teacher/student class situation.

In respect to the TOEIC test, OnlineEnglish has been at the forefront in explaining to students the difference between preparation for a test and learning English (a misunderstanding that causes the most student disappointment). Therefore students will find not only specific training material to prepare for the TOEIC test, but also English grammar and vocabulary support exercises together with practice modules, to allow the student to practice what they have learnt.

The OnlineEnglish TOEIC preparation course allows students to not only improve their TOEIC score through improved performance (preparation), but also through strengthening a student's English grammar and vocabulary knowledge (learning).

In respect to TOEIC preparation, students will find over 1500 specific exercises for every TOEIC question type together with a review feature should they get a question incorrect. Individual question training means that students can focus their training if needed, on those questions that cause them the most problem.

There are tips to allow the student to understand the different TOEIC question types and how best to answer them, with explanations about the methods that could confuse students, the need for careful timing, even explanations about implication and finding the best answer. Call them tricks if you wish, OnlineEnglish also includes several techniques that a student can practice, to reduce the stress placed upon them during the test.

OnlineEnglish includes short practice tests designed not only to get the student accustomed to the question types, but also used in continual assessment of the student's improvement and following this, the automatic adjustment of the student's individual training plan. The shorter practice tests also mean that lower level students benefit more from shorter immersion in the stress caused by the test procedure, therefore maintain motivation, and ability to progress towards the full 2 hour mock test more easily.

On the point of getting accustomed and following the term "practice makes perfect", OnlineEnglish includes possibly the first mock/practice test introduced onto the internet (in 2005). The practice test simulates a TOEIC test sitting; nowadays generating each test randomly from a large question database, meaning well over 1000 different tests. But the mock test by OnlineEnglish is not simply a mock test to get accustomed to a TOEIC test, it also includes some carefully protected techniques to reinforce the student's improvement and learning curve.

All students also get support and help by email from qualified and experienced language teachers. These teachers are also authorized TOEIC test administrators involved daily in administering TOEIC test sittings.

OnlineEnglish has two methods of training; self-study and guided-interactive-learning. The self-study method allows student free choice of what and how they learn.

The Training Coach (guided-interactive-learning method) is an extension of an experienced teacher. It automatically creates a training plan and chooses the exercises given to the student (from all training areas) based upon a complex assessment of the student's skills and needs.

As the student completes the exercises, the training coach offers advice, comments and recommendations as would a teacher in class. The Training Coach even comments on, which tips the student should learn, the speed a student is answering questions and the strategy they are using.

All the way through a student's training, they can see their levels, strengths, weaknesses and when they have completed enough training, they will also see an estimate of their TOEIC score level.

Towards the end of training, the Training Coach produces a useful training report, which advises the student of how well they have improved, the areas they need to further improve, and advice about the areas where they need to be careful.

Since 2003 to 2012 OnlineEnglish has been developed, updated and maintained for the benefit of students, and from the experiences of students. Today OnlineEnglish offers the most complete preparation course available for all students to prepare well for the TOEIC test and improve their English proficiency.

OnlineEnglish is written by the same people that hundreds of students sit in front of in class each year. "we are simply teachers and TOEIC test administrators daily teaching company employees the English language. What we build into OnlineEnglish comes directly from our experience with students in the classroom".

Advice for students about to take the TOEIC test

Here is some advice for students about to take the TOEIC test. It is just some of the many important tips given at OnlineEnglish.EU TOEIC Test Preparation website; www.onlineenglish.eu.

It is interesting that most students do not reach the score level they need for two main reasons.....

The first reason is that their level of English knowledge and ability is simply not high enough for the score they need to achieve. Many of these students take part in TOEIC preparation courses, but they fail to realize that their English ability is not good enough; also that "preparation for a test" is not learning English.

Through preparation a student can increase the TOEIC score level they achieve by becoming accustomed to the TOEIC test, by planning a strategy for the test sitting, and by improving their accuracy and speed when answering questions. Indeed, preparation can allow a student to score 20% - 50% more in the TOEIC test, but this depends on each individual student.

The second reason is that students take far too long answering the first question types in the reading part of the test. Normally a student will be motivated and dedicated to answering the questions correctly; they will scrutinize the initial "incomplete sentence and text completion questions" before committing themselves to an answer; even though they may know the answer immediately. BUT what they do not realize is this....

In the reading part of the test a student must answer 100 questions in 75 minutes. This actually means that on average, a student has only 45 seconds per question!! The problem comes towards the end of the reading part; "single and double passage questions", because a student will find they may need a lot of time to read the associated texts.

So you may ask yourself how is it possible to not run out of time. The answer is simple; in the initial incomplete sentence and text completion questions, try to answer each question in under 45 seconds. You will then save “spare time” and when you come to the longer reading questions, you will have enough time to answer them all. Naturally this is where planning a good test strategy helps!

OnlineEnglish.EU is a preparation website for students sitting the TOEIC test that also includes English language and practice exercises. This means the website is suitable for simple preparation, or longer study from 350 - 990 points. OnlineEnglish.EU includes level, strength and weakness estimation and shows students whether they can achieve their goal by “simple preparation”, or whether they need to also improve their English.

OnlineEnglish will also help with timing to ensure the perfect strategy and offers students practice with specific exercises in true TOEIC test form, with a 2 hour simulation test that has over 1000 different test possibilities, and with specific exercises to develop the essential core skills. Naturally there is much, much more, but you can read that on the website.

I hope some students find this advice helpful.

Why should I prepare for the TOEIC test?

I must admit that it's high time to put my courage to the TOEIC test which stands for Test of English for International Communication. In fact, I have kind of a ticket which allows me to take the test for free. The benefit will expire at the end of August.
I haven't taken the test for over three years, so I'm a bit unsettled. They say that the test requires some specific methods especially when you aim to make a good record. I don't know much about it, and in fact I'm not willing to study English for passing exams. I'd like to study "active English" rather than "bookish English." Having said that, I'm happy with a good score. Oh, my, I have mixed feelings...

HI, I understand your mixed feelings totally. But remember, studying English (what you have called bookish English) and active English are just two parts of a very big picture. Even native English speakers have to study English to become native English speakers, and, even after they become native English speakers, they have to do some passive study to become better native English speakers, therefore there is nothing better on your way to becoming a fluent speaker than to study both actively and passively.

Do not confuse “active/passive” study of English with “preparation for a test”. These two things are different. In fact, no matter what test you are sitting, whether for car mechanics or English language, preparation is very important so that you understand the test itself and know what to do and how to do it. (this is called strategy).

Planning a good strategy will allow you to concentrate fully on the skill being tested and not have a part of your brain concentrating on “how should I do this? How should I answer this question? Am I spending too long answering one question? Will I be able to finish in time? Now what should I do now? What do they mean? …. etc” during the test sitting.

Preparation for a test is to allow you to perform better and get a higher score through good planning and understanding of the demands of the test, not improve the skill being tested.

Forget the comments about secrets and tricks. These are just marketing words used by publishers to get students to purchase their TOEIC material. Actually these claims are very unprofessional and turning the TOEIC test (a professional language proficiency test) into a game to be beaten in the eyes of students, a little like the secret command IDKFA for the game Doom. The fact is that there are no secrets or tricks, just some common sense things to think about and to use to plan a strategy.

The TOEIC test does not try to fool students, rather present to the students during the test sitting, certain English situations where mistakes can be and are made; even by native English speakers.

At http://www.onlineenglish900.com we offer students the chance to prepare correctly for the TOEIC test, and, also improve their English language vocabulary, grammar, fluency and speed plus much more.

It is all a matter of time; to only prepare for the TOEIC test will require about 9 hours, to prepare and improve your English will take longer. This is why at OnlineEnglish we offer a 5 day quick preparation membership, the, memberships for 1,3,6 and 12 months for students that also wish to improve their English.

I wish you luck in your test.

Hello. I would like to prepare for the TOEIC Test

The TOEIC test is a test for the measurement of a person’s English proficiency in the workplace. It is operated by ets.org of America and etsglobal.org in Europe. The test is internationally recognized and is demanded more and more in employment situations.

OK so that is basically the test, but this article is really about preparation and the problems of selecting good preparation. As the marketplace realizes that there could be money to earn, so advertising takes over from common sense. Additionally there are situations of blogs offering relatively general and sometimes bad advice and many personal opinions regarding preparation for the TOEIC test that in the majority should be taken with a pinch of salt!

Actually these comments could be very detrimental to a student, that may then be guided down the road of incorrect information and thus, affect their test result more negatively than being unprepared in the first place!

Destroying a Myth.
Let me destroy the myth!
Learning English and TOEIC preparation are NOT the same thing!

Naturally in preparing for the TOEIC test a student will be exposed to English and in doing so there will be an element of English proficiency improvement, but in reality much more is needed. So let’s look at what TOEIC preparation really is and how it can help a student sitting the TOEIC test:

What is Preparation?
Like any test, no matter the form or the skill being tested, there will always be elements of not being accustomed, not understanding the requirements, not understanding the procedures and therefore, not being able to plan. These elements will always affect a test taker negatively resulting in split concentration. Split concentration means less brain-power to concentrate on the test questions and answers and therefore in many cases a lower score than could otherwise be achieved. Also, a student can easily run out of time because they spent too much time on initial questions.

Correct preparation for the TOEIC test therefore means; to advise a student competently of procedures and to let them practice test questions. (Meaning questions expertly configured to offer the required focus on the core skills tested by the TOEIC test)
Additionally preparation will include tips and advice (sometimes called tricks) to assist a student when completing the test. Furthermore the student will have the opportunity to complete „mock“ tests to further build confidence, again with questions expertly created to offer benefit and not forgetting time, a student will have the chance to plan timing for each question, a very important part of any test and the one point in the TOEIC test that causes the most problems. Preparation is basically as its literal meaning; to prepare in advance.

The Combination of Preparation and Improvement?
Combination is the ultimate solution as long as preparation for the TOEIC test and improvement of English proficiency are separate, not confused as one thing, but combined to work together as two separate entities.

What does combination offer?
Can you imagine a system that offers different routes for training?
For instance;
Preparation for the TOEIC test for those that wish to improve their score quickly by using focused training to identify problem areas and then; remove insecurities, build confidence and knowledge by allowing the student to get accustomed to, and practice for the test before they sit it.
More intensive preparation which includes all the benefits of TOEIC preparation and which again includes focused training to allow a student to find their English proficiency weaknesses thereby focusing their training for maximum efficiency.
Advanced preparation which allows a student not only to prepare for the TOEIC test, but offers exercisers, exercises that intensively train a student’s listening and reading comprehension, grammar and improvement in vocabulary.

What if the website also had advanced interactive qualities, maybe it had an option to directly guide the student through the training that they personally need in the most efficient way possible. In fact an interactive training course that is different for every student based upon that student’s specific needs.
Is it possible?

THE ANSWER IS YES! and much more …
Go an look at http://www.onlineenglish.eu/ or http://www.onlineenglish900.com/ There you will find exactly what you are looking for. Competent and qualified training. After all your TOEIC score is very important to you! Why risk it?
