Hello everyone! Last weekend, I took the TOEIC, and it was a much tougher experience than I had imagined. Over the past few weeks, I studied hard—reviewing vocabulary, practicing listening, and taking practice tests. Even so, sitting in the actual test center felt more difficult than studying at home, and the nerves added even more pressure. The listening section started smoothly, but as the pace of the questions quickened, I realized how hard it was to maintain concentration. There were moments of anxiety, but I tried my best not to lose focus. The reading section, however, was even tougher. The sheer number of questions was overwhelming, and by the time I reached the final long passage, the clock was ticking faster than I'd anticipated, making me panic. In the end, I had to rush through the last few questions, leaving me unsure if my answers were correct. Reflecting on this experience, I realized I need to improve not only my English skills but also my time management abilities. For next time, I want to practice solving problems while timing myself more often and learn to pace myself to avoid rushing at the end. Although it was tough, taking the test strengthened my desire to improve further. Next time, I want to approach it with more confidence and composure.
