A lot of errors in answersI found 3 reason not to buy this book.
First, there are a lot of errors in answers. I cannot believe this book is third edition.
Second, some words are too essential. This book deals with 'sample', 'usually', 'salary', 'choose' and etc. I think These words are too elementary to be dealt with by a TOEIC book.
Third, Words are hardly repeated to remember them easily. This book isn't similar to other Barron's vocabulary books(1100 words you need to know, 504 absolutely essential words).
This WILL improve you TOEIC Score!"Barron's 600 Essential Words for the TOEIC" is the book I recommend to all my students who have studied strategies and methods (and score around 600-700) but who don't have enough English vocabulary to understand everything they heard on the TOEIC. Here's why I love this book:
1. The words are a combination of verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs that students will find useful both for the TOEIC and in real life.
2. The words are divided by topic (ex: medical, hospitality, etc.), so that students can study words that often appear in the same text.
3. Each of the 50 different units has various types of practice exercises & quizzes (about 40-50 fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice questions per unit), so that you get to hear and read the TOEIC Words in different kinds of texts and talks.
4. Each unit has a section that gives other "forms" or "parts of speech" of the 12 words (ex: except, exception, exceptional) so that you can see how the meaning of the word changes depending on whether it is a verb, noun, adjective or adverb.
5. The Questions in the book are at about the same level of difficulty as the real TOEIC test.
6. After every 4 or 5 Units there is a Unit Review quiz, so that you can test yourself on words you studied previously.
Overall, this is one of the best TOEIC test preparations books around. While it doesn't have any grammar practice or complete TOEIC Tests (see my website for a list of my recommended TOEIC Test practice books), it will build your vocabulary skills up so that you will not feel lost in any Reading Text, Conversation or Talk.
All the best on your Test Day!
TOEICIt is an excellent book for practicing for the test especially the listining part, but lacks one think, that the real TOEIC test contains paragraphes followed by questions which is not covered in this book.
book of successThis book really helped me a lot to move on and prepare for the TOEIC.
600 essential words for TOEIC testThe book is easy to use and gives you overall idea about vocabulary you should know. The book includes 2 CDs which help you to improve your listening skills. I recommend this book stronly - great value for your money.
Product DescriptionThis edition has been revised to match the format of the latest TOEIC and includes fifty vocabulary-building lessons that focus on American English as it is used within the context of modern business, industry, communications, and cultural activities. Examples of practical English usage touch on such subjects as contracts, marketing, banking, and personnel, among many others. Additional lessons concentrate on helping TOEIC test takers expand their English vocabulary in areas related to cultural activities, such as movies, museums, music, and art. Each lesson presents 12 target words with definitions, used in several different contexts. Exercises follow every lesson, and a quiz follows every five lessons to test students' newly acquired skill in understanding and using their new words. The enclosed audio CD provides essential help in pronunciation and listening comprehension, using the various accents tested on the new TOEIC.
