Overall it's a useful book

I am an ESL teacher using this book with students in Japan. I most like the large number of sample questions, including several full-length tests and accompanying CD's. One problem, though, is that Loughheed's explanations are difficult for even my advanced-level non-native speakers to understand. However, they are very helpful to me as a teacher in explaining how to solve problems. What I do is review his explanations myself before class, then use them as a tool to help teach things to my students as they work through the sample problems. The test section does not include a table giving a model TOEIC score. I wrote the author about this, and he said a conversion chart would be included in the next edition. He also kindly sent me a conversion chart.Overall, it was a useful book and I will continue using it with future students.

Passport for a job

Last year, I bought this book because I needed to have a quick help to prepare myself for the TOEIC test. Within 4 days, this book let me know enough on the test : typical questions, grammar and possible cunning. I passed the test and get a good score. Thus, I succeed in getting a new job.
