I finished TOEIC today!!!! yeah!! I was stressed out because of the test. (little bit :P) Since I will start job hunting for after my graduate when I go back to Japan, I want to get more than 900 in TOEIC, which is very profitable in companies in Japan. I hope I can get the score before going back to Japan in order to be less busier after going back there; therefore, I took TOEIC this time. However, it was very difficult to study for TOEIC because I have had many things to do for the ELI... So I wasn't ready to take it today. The most concern was time. There were 300 questions, including listening section and reading section, and I had to do solve them in two hours. I didn't have enough time to do them when I took TOEIC last two times, so I tried to manage the time this time.
Fortunately, I made it!! Since I had almost 15 minutes left, I looked through the questions again, especially grammar questions which I was not sure the answer. I was thinking and thinking... then I changed the answer to another answer. That was a mistake. After the test, I looked up the word in a dictionary, and the original answer was correct!!!! :( I was so sad. I know I should trust my first answer when I'm in doubt. It is too late anyway.
Over all, I think I did better than when I took it last time. I didn't have any difficulties to listen and read English, did all of the questions within the time, and could keep concentrating on the test. I of course don't know if I get the enough score or not, but I will take it next month as well if I don't get the score!!
Although looooots of projects are still waiting for me, I want to rest for a moment.. I will restart studying tomorrow (probably..).
Good night :)
What a nice little post, Momoko! You have good fluency and accuracy here, and I also like the photograph. By the way, I'm sure you did much better on the TOEIC than you did last time!
