The Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) is an international standardized test of English language proficiency for non-native speakers. It is designed to measure the everyday English skills of people working in an international environment. The TOEIC exam has different forms, including the TOEIC Listening & Reading Test, which consists of two equally graded tests of comprehension assessment activities totaling a possible 990 score, and the TOEIC Speaking and Writing Tests.

The TOEIC Listening and Reading test assesses English-language listening and reading skills for the workplace. The test questions simulate real-life situations that are relevant to the global workplace. The TOEIC Speaking and Writing tests assess pronunciation, intonation and stress, vocabulary, grammar, cohesion, relevance of content, and completeness of content. The Speaking and Writing assessments use a score scale of 0–200.

The TOEIC exam is used worldwide as a standard for assessing English-language communication skills needed in the workplace and everyday life. It measures beginner to advanced English listening and reading comprehension skills and determines if someone studying English as a foreign language can communicate effectively and proficiently in English, across borders and cultures with co-workers and clients. The TOEIC exam is available in both paper and online formats and can be taken anytime, anywhere.

The TOEIC exam is beneficial for working adults to enhance their career and opportunities for overseas postings, for students to increase their chances of entering the university or company of their choice, and for anyone who wants to gain qualifications or qualify as a volunteer. The TOEIC Listening and Reading test results are presented as a score on a scale of 10 to 990, rather than a pass or fail.
