There are several things you can do everyday to help you prepare for the TOEIC test.

Listen to Music
Music helps you acquire the rhythm and stress patterns of spoken English. Listen closely to the words.

Use the Language
Set aside half an hour each day to communicate only in English. If you can't do this face-to-face, send regular e-mail messages. The more you use the language, the better at it you’ll become.

Read!
Reading is the best way to improve your vocabulary. While it can be hard to find partners to practice speaking, authentic reading materials — newspapers, magazines, Web sites, novels, non-fiction books, etc. — are always available. Choose something that genuinely interests you and isn’t too challenging.

Write Everything
Try keeping a daily journal where you can practice using new words and expressions. This helps reinforce sentence structures and vocabulary.
