Mình chia sẻ với các bạn về đề thi TOEIC hôm nay (24052013) tại IIG văn phòng TP HCM. I Khâu an ninh Khá nghiêm ngặt, trải qua 4 bước an ninh mình mới tiến đến được vị trí chỗ ngồi làm bài Check 1: Một chị đọc tên vào phòng thi theo thứ tự, tay cầm máy rà kim loại rà khắp thân thể để phát hiện các đồ đạc mang theo, chỉ cho phép mang giấy dự thi TOEIC và giấy CMND hoặc hộ chiếu vào phòng thi. Tất cả giấy tờ, trang sức, đồng hồ, bút chì . đều không được mang vào phòng thi, phải cất ở tủ đồ có sẵn. Check 2: Một chị Kiểm giấy dự thi, CMND, lấy dấu vân tay đóng vào giấy dự thi. Check 3: Một chị kiểm tra giấy dự thi, CMND, đặc điểm nhận dạng, phải tháo kiếng ra để kiểm tra, hỏi han về thời gian chụp hình trên thẻ dự thi . Check 4: Lúc này ở trong phòng thi, một chi kiểm tra lại lần cuối, hỏi mã số tủ khóa đồ, chỉ vị trí ngồi làm bài. kiểm tra an ninh khá gắt vì đây là kỳ thi quốc tế II giới thiệu nội quy phòng thi, phổ biến cách điền thông tin, hướng dẫn làm bài Sau khi khâu an ninh hoàn tất, sẽ có sẵn giấy làm bài trên vị trí của mỗi thí sinh, giám thị sẽ phổ biến cách điềm thông tin lên tờ trả lời, nội quy và cách xử lý các trường hợp vi phạm. III Bài thi thực tế Đây là phần mình muốn giới thiệu cho các bạn nhất Phần Listening Phòng thi khá rộng và cách âm, nên không bị tạp âm bên ngoài ảnh hưởng, loa được đặt ở một vị trí góc phòng chứ không phân bố đều cả phòng như mình nghĩ, nên bạn nào ngồi xa sẽ bị thiệt thòi, ví dụ như mình Phần nghe khá giống cuốn sách : Tactics For TOEIC ( giọng đọc và cách ra câu hỏi không khác nhiều ), Longman Full actual test và cuốn Economy giọng đọc chậm, dễ nghe hơn so với những đề mình từng làm, giọng Mỹ khoảng 50%, giọng Úc thì khá khó nghe một phần vì loa hơi nhỏ một chút. Part1: Không khó lắm, chủ yếu là các bạn nghe quen và loại suy sẽ ra hết, có vài bức hình thì hơi khó một chút Part 2: một số câu khá khó nghe, nhất là câu gián tiếp hoặc câu hỏi sử dụng câu hỏi đuôi, hoặc trợ động từ, mà lại là giọng Úc thì hơi khó nghe Part 3: Khá dễ, không có nhiều từ mới và đánh đố, giọng đọc cũng không khó nghe lắm, các bạn phải tranh thủ directions của phần 1 và 2 để đọc trước câu hỏi và đáp án của part này thì mới làm tốt được Part 4: không dài mà cũng không ngắn, về mức độ thì ngang ngửa đề thi trong cuốn Tactics for TOEIC, tất nhiên là về độ dài và độ khó Phần Reading: Thực sự mình nhận xét phần này không khó lắm, có 75 phút làm bài. Mình dành 15 phút cho part 5, 5 phút cho part 6 và 55 phút cho part 7. Nhưng thực ra mình chỉ mất đúng 15 và 5 phút tương ứng cho part 56 còn part 7 chỉ mất 30 phút làm bài. Mình cũng hơi bất ngờ về tốc độ làm bài của mình. Vì ở nhà làm thường chỉ dư có 5 phút. Part 5: câu hỏi từ vựng khoảng 10 câu, và không khó lắm, dựa vào ngữ cảnh khá nhiều. Ngữ pháp chỉ có 35 câu là hơi khó. Vì mình không tập trung vào ngữ pháp nhiều nên mình làm không sũy xét tỉ mỉ phần này. Part 6: thì khá nhiều câu hỏi từ vựng, phải đọc hết cả đoạn để hiểu và tìm đúng đáp án, cũng không khó lắm. Bạn chỉ cần trau dồi và học cuốn 600 Essential words for TOEIC ( third edition) là đủ để dự thi. Mình học hết cuốn nhưng cũng còn một số từ nhớ không kỹ lắm, tất nhiên là nên học luôn những từ đồng nghĩa. Part 7: Mình đánh giá là phần này khá dễ nuốt, không quá dài, nhưng đồi hỏi tính suy luận và logic cao, bạn cần có kỹ thuật đọc scan và skim tốt mới có thể làm nhanh chóng và dễ dàng. 20 câu đoạn văn kép chủ yếu là thư từ qua lại, điều khoản cho thuê nhà, interview và thư response. Bạn chỉ cần làm đề trong cuốn Longman full actual test và Economy, và đề thi trong cuốn Tactics for TOEIC là đủ. Review bài làm của mình: Vì mình cũng đang ốm gần khỏi nên khả năng làm bài có suy giảm một chút, nhưng vào phòng thi khá bình tĩnh, trạng thái cứ như làm bài ở nhà vậy. Các bạn đi thi hãy tự tin và bình tĩnh nhé. Mình làm phần nghe part 1 và 3 là tốt nhất, part 4 thì đôi lúc mất tập trung ( vì muốn ho quá trời mà sợ ảnh hưởng người ta nên đành phải nhịn, hixhix). Phần reading mình làm dư khoảng 25 phút, mình không ngờ là mình có thể làm với tốc độ như vậy, mình dành 15 phút để xem lại part 7, đọc và nghiên cứu những câu hỏi mình còn băn khoẳn, tại vì mình đã bỏ qua 3 câu hỏi quá chi tiết vì mất thời gian. Sau khi làm xong còn thời gian mới đọc lại. Danh 5 phút để xem lại part 6. Thực ra nếu bạn đã chọn đáp án nào mà xem lại vẫn thấy lưỡng lự thì đừng nên chọn lại đáp áp, vì theo bản thân mình thì những đáp án chọn đầu tiên thường là đúng nhất. Trên đây là những gì mình biết và thực tế bài thi của mình, hy vọng có thể giúp được phần nào cho các bạn sắp thi và chúc các bạn đạt kết quả cao. Mình cũng chưa dám nói trước kết quả của mình, vì TOEIC mình toàn tự học, chưa có đến trung tâm lần nào, khi nào có kết quả mình sẽ update. Chúc các bạn ôn thi thiệt tốt và đạt kết quả cao
