TOEIC
The test of English for International Communication
Listening and Reading Courses
You can join the courses for Listening and Reading and remain as a student there as long as you want. Your responses to the activities in these courses are automatlcally checked by the software.
· In reading activities, remove the left menu so that you can see the whole text more comfortably.
· Sometimes, you may not see the "Next Page" button and even the navigation panel in the right menu may not work, This is because of a simple javascript error in your web browser. This problem will disappear when you reload/refresh the page.
· In listening activities, you can only move forward - as in the real test.
· In all listening tasks, the audio file is embedded into the page and the audio file should "play" automatically. If you do not hear anything, this means that your web browser is blocking the automatic-play feature for audio files. Change the settings or try another web browser. (You will need to contact the course teacher to re-start the same activity - see below.)
· You can attempt each activity only one time. If you are unable to start or complete an activity because of, for example, a technical problem, send the course teacher a message. Your attempt will be deleted (you will lose all your responses within this activity, if we have already managed to answer some of the questions) so that you can attempt once more.
· Each activity has a time limit. You can click "Finish attempt" or wait until the time expires.
Speaking and Writing Courses and Tests Courses
The number of places/seats is limited. There can be only 10 students in one course and they have 30 days to complete the course. At the end of this period, everything about the student is deleted from the course (but not from the website). It is possible to join the course again.
· All responses to speaking and writing tasks are evaluated by the course teacher, with detailed feedback added.
· Speaking tasks require that you use a Chromium-based web browser so that your responses can be saved.
· As in the courses for listening and reading sections, each activity can be attempted only one time and there is a time limit.
· Again, your attempt can be deleted by the course teacher if you request this; however, remember that all existing responses to this activity will be deleted then.
· For all writing tasks, you must use Safe Exam Browser (SEB). This is a special web browser for online examinations and it is used for the TOEFL iBT and tbe TOEIC as well. Its main purpose is to prevent cheating. When you start the exercise or the test in Safe Exam Browser, it covers the whole screen and you cannot open new tabs. The cache is deleted, which means that you cannot paste a previously-copied text. You can close Safe Exam Browser (there is the "quit" link just so that you do not need to turn off your computer at the end of the task) but then, when you go back to the writing task, you will see that your attempt has been saved and closed.
· When you complete an exercise or a test, you can click "Finish attempt" or wait for the time to expire.
· After you complete a writing or speaking exercise/test, do not immediately start the next one. Wait for the course teacher to check and evaluate your responses. You can use the feedback that the teacher will give and you can try to avoid making the same mistakes in the next activity/test.
