Section 0: Background Questionnaire
-----------------------------------

The TOEIC Background Questionnaire asks about your educational, work, English language, and TOEIC test-taking experience. Your responses to the Questionnaire enable your organization to learn more about the backgrounds of people who take the test and some of the factors that affect TOEIC scores and improvement in English. Your responses to the Questionnaire are kept confidential and do not in any way affect your TOEIC scores. We encourage you to answer all of the questions.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS
------------------

This is a test of your ability to use the English language. The total time for the test is approximately two hours. It is divided into seven parts. Each part of the test begins with a set of specific directions. Be sure you understand what you are to do before you begin work on a part.

You will find that some of the questions are harder than others, but you should try to answer each question to the best of your ability. Your score will be based on the number of questions you answer correctly.

Do not mark your answers in this test book. You must put all of your answers on the separate answer sheet that you have been given. When putting your answer to a question on your answer sheet, be sure to fill in the answer space corresponding to the letter of your choice. Fill in the space so that the letter inside the circle cannot be seen, as shown in the example on the following page.

EXAMPLE Mr. Jones _____ to his accountant yesterday.

(A) talk
(B) talking
(C) talked
(D) to talk

Sample Answer (A) (B) (C) (D)

The sentence should read, “Mr. Jones talked to his accountant yesterday.” Therefore, you should choose answer (C). Notice how this has been done in the example above.

Mark only one answer for each question. If you change your mind about an answer after you have marked it on your answer sheet, completely erase your old answer and then mark your new answer. You must mark the answer sheet carefully so that the test-scoring machine can accurately record your test score.
