TOEIC Speaking Test Samples: Improve your TOEIC Score

Do you teach TOEIC speaking? Then keep on reading for some TOEIC speaking test samples that you can use with your students. Or, if you’re an English learner looking to improve your score, then you’re also in the right place. We have all the tips and tricks you need for TOEIC speaking.

TOEIC Speaking Sample Test

Here are some TOEIC speaking style tests that I’ve used in my own speaking exam preparation classes. You can use them in order to do a pre and post evaluation of your students. They also lend themselves well to teaching ESL online.

Here’s how you can use this sample TOEIC speaking test. Administer sample #1 to your students on the first day of your course. Then, complete the course and give a similar test (sample #2 for example) on the last day. Compare scores and hopefully your students will have improved!

They can also be used as very simple level tests for your speaking or conversation classes, if you’re required to do them by your school. You can sometimes find them in popular ESL textbooks, but if you can’t, this is a nice alternative. If you want some help with evaluation, check out this ESL Speaking Rubric that I use in my own classes.

Or, if you’re a student, you may want to use them to prepare for your speaking exam. Better yet, do it with a friend or get a teacher to check your answers for you.

TOEIC Speaking Test Tips

If you want to improve your score on this English proficiency exam, here are some of the tips you’ll need to pay close attention to:

  • Work with an experienced private tutor, or join a reputable preparation class.
  • Speak as clearly as possible (loudly and clearly).
  • There is no examiner. You’ll be using headphones and speaking into a microphone so get used to speaking by yourself during practice sessions.
  • There may be background noise from other test-takers in the room so practice in a room with the radio or TV on.
  • Don’t use English slang.
  • Use correct grammar.
  • Avoid boring words like nice, good or bad. Think of more interesting things to say and show a nice vocabulary range!
  • Use specific words instead of vague ones like “good.”
  • Vary your voice tone so that you don’t sound like a robot.
  • Speak slowly but not too slowly. Aim for a nice average pace.
