Q:TOEICで,どれくらいのスコアをとればよいのですか?
A:どのような目的でTOEICを受験するのかにもよりますが,一般的な英語力としては,990点満点中,500点を目安にすればよいと思います。その評価については,就職の際には希望する職種によって多少違いがあるかも知れませんが,500点以上あれば,就職のエントリーシートや履歴書に記載すれば,プラス評価が得られると思います。しかし,英語力を「売り」にするのならば,やはり700点以上ほしいところですね。早い時期に500点を突破すれば,努力次第で卒業時に700点確保することも夢ではありません。TOEICは,500点からの伸びが面白い! (by Prof. Kozo Hirose)

Some students in Australia were shocked after spending a year studying the wrong book  for an English exam. Eight pupils from a school in Melbourne got a big surprise when they opened the exam paper to find that the book they had studied- Julia Leigh’s The Hunter –  did not appear at all on the paper. It seems that the school had read the wrong syllabus and prepared the students for an old exam. A spokesman from the test said: “It does happen occasionally that schools teach the wrong text to their students.” For the exam, literature students had to write two essays – one each for their studied novel and play. Administrators of the exam said that they would receive a fair grade for what they have done. (by Prof. Simon Smith)
