Who is it for
TOEIC is a multiple choice test developed for people who use English in nonacademic situations, such as international business, trade, industry and diplomacy.
British or American?
The variety of English used in TOEIC test is American English, although because its aim is to measure language proficiency in an international environment, every effort is made to ensure that the test is unbiased and culturally relevant to candidates worldwide.
The TOEIC test development team is careful to:
- Avoid language that is specific to US or British English (e.g. vocabulary, grammatical constructions, idioms)
- Choose contexts that are not specific to one culture, or that may be foreign to candidates from some cultures
- Ensure the balanced use of names from different nationalities
- Refer to locations, people, or events that would be recognized in many different countries
- Avoid situations that are too specific to one occupational area
Who developed it?
The test was prepared by the Educational Testing Service of Princeton, New Jersey.
What is tested?
TOEIC consists of a Listening Comprehension section in four parts and a Reading section in three parts.

What is the passing score?
This test was not designed to measure achievement (i.e. whether you ‘passed’ or ‘failed’) but to assess your level (tell you how well you know English).
However, companies may use the TOEIC test to set their own standards and may require that employees have a certain minimum TOEIC score because the corresponding level of English is needed on the job. This does not mean that an individual will pass, or fail, the TOEIC test—it simply means that he or she will meet, or not meet, the standards set by a specific company.
For how long will my TOEFL score be valid?
Your TOEFL score is valid for only two years. After that you will have to take the test again.
For how long will my TOEIC score be valid?
