Challenge : Being confident with english to be gratuated

English as a Second Language New ESL Forum Member?

Hello Everyone !

My name is Silva. I’m a new member. I’ve just discovered the forum so I’m a little bit lost :/.

I’m here because I think it’s time for me to be confident and improve my english.
Moreover, I’m a student in Montpellier Business School (France) in second year of Master in HR. In order to be gratuated, I need to take the TOEIC exam and obtain the score of 790/990.
I already took it on March but I failed with a score of 770/990, because of stress and bad time management but I think that I wasn’t really ready neither.

I wish I can learn a lot here, and talk with all of you.

Have a good day ! :slight_smile:

Hi Silva, welcome to our forum and thanks for sharing your situation with us. Did I understand you correctly, your business school requires you to take the TOEIC test and score at least 790 points? Regards, Torsten

Hi Torsten,

I’ve just finished the test.

54.75/100 :frowning:

30/50 questions correctly answered
The results are not very good. Moreover, for the last section, I hadn’t enough time to answer all questions… I really need to improve my time management :frowning: .

Best regards,

Silva

Hello Silva, for starters I suggest you take the test a second time making sure you get all the answers right. You can ask us here on the forum if you don’t know why a particular answer is wrong. Please let me know what you think. Regards, Torsten

Good evening Torsten,
I’ve just finished the test. I obtained the following score : 44/50 (86.5/100).
I could finish each section.

However, I’ve two questions that I would like to ask you.
In the section 2, question 13 : “He has difficult to work with and thus was fired.”. The right anwser was “has” but I selected “was”. I hesitated between “has” and “was”. Please I need some explanation, because for me we can say “He has difficult… thus he is fired.” or else “He had difficult … thus he was fired”.

Second point. in the section 2, question 22 “Only through increase exposure…”. Could you please explain me the answer ?

Have a good night ! :slight_smile:

Best regards,

Silva

Actually, the correct answer here should be ‘He was difficult to work with’. I’ll check to see if there is a mistake on our part.

This should read ‘through increased exposure’, many thanks for pointing this out. Please let me know if it makes sense to you now.

Thank you so much Torsten ! I’m so happy. I did it… I can’t believe it.
I still want to practice my english and improve myself more and more

Now I have to finish my thesis and do a report about my year in a company as apprentice.

But I’m still available to do some tests or to speak with the community of this forum. :slight_smile:
