What score do you actually need on the TOEIC? Honestly, anything over 900 is unnecessary.

Hello there!
It's Riko (^^)

Hi, there!
Thank you so much for visiting!


Thank you for always reading my blog (^^)


Today, I'd like to talk about what score you actually need on the TOEIC.

My conclusion is,

having a score near 850 is enough

!


Some people work hard, thinking, "I'm going to aim for over 900!" or "I'm going to get a perfect score!"

Of course, achieving those goals is wonderful.


However,unfortunately, a TOEIC score of 850 or higher is not a measure of English proficiency.


It just means you've mastered the TOEIC test.In other words,


it simply means you know the techniques for the TOEIC.Because the TOEIC follows a pattern, honestly, if you take it over and over again, you can get a score of 900 or higher.But





does getting a 900 or higher on the TOEIC mean you can speak English? That is not the case.I personally think,

that the TOEIC can only accurately gauge English proficiency up to about 730 to 850 points.

If you have around that much, there is no doubt that you have English skills in vocabulary, grammar, and listening, and it is more than enough to highlight on your resume when job hunting or changing jobs.


Sometimes I get asked,



"Should I even take the TOEIC in the first place?!"
My conclusion is,

yes, you should take it

!



It's partly because it's a great selling point for job hunting or changing jobs, but


it's because you need input to be able to speak English.
You cannot speak English without a massive amount of input, such as vocabulary and grammar.Studying for the TOEIC is an effective way to get that input.Also, it improves your vocabulary.


If your vocabulary increases, the content and depth of what you can talk about will change.


You can have a conversation with just basic words, but if you are aiming for an upper level, a rich vocabulary is essential.


And finally, you can learn correct grammar.
If your grammar is a mess, your credibility will drop even if you can hold a conversation.
Also, if you don't master grammar early on, it's difficult to master it later. Or rather than difficult, perhaps it's more accurate to say you won't feel like studying it...
If you don't want to be looked down upon or ripped off when you go traveling abroad, it's better to know correct grammar.


In that sense, I recommend the TOEIC (^^)
To be able to speak, you obviously need speaking practice.
However,


to speak, you first need a massive amount of input.


Please try to make good use of the TOEIC to acquire knowledge.

P.S.

Even when people think they need to do something, they often can't bring themselves to take action.

Humans are desperately bad at taking action. Lol

But, waiting around thinking, "I'll do it when I have time."

won't actually create any time.

You'll just stay busy forever.

That's why,
when you think,
"I want to do this~""Maybe I'll try this,"

that is the moment
you should start.

If you miss this chance,
the next one might be five years from now.

Or maybe ten years from now.

Or no, maybe twenty years from now.

Do not let this moment pass you by.

Let's start right now!
