TOEICテストのテクニック

出典は、忘れましたが、

パートI、IIは、利き手と反対の手を机の上に軽く開いて置き、

正解の選択肢がAだと思ったら、親指の先に軽く力を入れ、

Bだと思ったら人差し指、Cだと思ったら中指とすると、選択肢を聞き終わるまでに

忘れないのでいいと思います。

パートIII、IVは質問が複数あるので、リスニング中にマークシートに小さく目印を付け、

質問が始まったら、マークシートを完全に塗りつぶすという方法がいいと思います。

TOEICテストのリニューアルについて

http://www.toeic.or.jp/toeic/new/

2006年5月よりTOEICテストがリニューアルされるとのこと。

対策本が質・量ともに充実している昨今、より実践的にしたいと考えたのではないかと。

米語だけではなくなるようなので、このブログも来年からは、

米語英英辞典から通常の英英辞典を利用するようにしようかと思いました。

なお、アルク社の関連書籍の現時点での対応表が出ていました。
