990, well done, score better than what I ever could on that test.
990, well done, score better than what I ever could on that test.I received an e-mail from the good folks at Educational Testing Service, the organization that runs TOEIC, telling me that the test result had been made available online. So I went to the site, logged in and saw my score....
I scored 990! Yay!
I don't know why I am so excited. It's not like I've won any prize .... I am just glad that I know I could do well on a test. I never did that well in school and I think this is the first time in my life I have gotten a perfect score on anything. I hope this will help me finding an English-related job in some way sometime in the near future.
MTR guessed the correct score, and I might have said something silly.... like I would give a fantabulous gift to whoever guessed the my score. Although I never thought someone would actually get it right, I am a man of my word. MTR, please send me a PM with your address and I will send you something from the city of Ashikaga. Oh, you're an avid collector of postcards? Great!
Thank you for those who have posted on this thread for your advices and moral support.

Wow, 990!! I've never met someone who actually got that point!
It's great, yet I'm not surprised to hear you scored 990.

Is mojibake getting worse or is it just me??
Reading over the topic I see that's the perfect score. Damn, congratulations dude! You friggin' ACED that!!I scored 990! Yay!
yeah... I did, didn't I? lol Thank you, Putre.Reading over the topic I see that's the perfect score. Damn, congratulations dude! You friggin' ACED that!!
I second that...990, well done, score better than what I ever could on that test.
Yep , this thread should be closed!!!yeah... I did, didn't I? lol Thank you, Putre.
OK, my apologies to you all for making this into one big brag-fest... and I know it is rather obnoxious. I should have done this on my blog or something. I was just excited about the whole thing and got carried away.
I will move on and go back to my boring life. :win:
Yep , this thread should be closed!!!
LOL!What's worse is that I make the OTHERS toot my horn...
I don't know. It's possible that when I started this thread, I was subconsciously hoping that I would get a really good score and everyone would shower me with accolades.
What's strange is that each time I try to insert a sad face smiley to show how ashamed and sorry I am, it comes out :win:
Wow, you don't even read my reply! :?I second that...
Well, well, so it means you didn't make a single mistake?
Congratulations!!
いいなぁ～若いって（とブツブツ…）
Oh, so they tabulate scores based on median average like "hensachi"?Wow, you don't even read my reply! :?
They use statistical procedures for scoring, like the number of questions you get right is converted into a scale of 10-990 through some kind of statistical procedures, so a perfect score doesn't always mean 100% correct responses. (Just my firsthand experience.)
What are you trying to say, epigene? Hmm?...If that's so, I can fully understand why Ashikaga got 990.
Thanks!
Thank you, Jericho.To be honest I am absolutely not surprised you got a perfect score, to be honest if it wasn't known you were born/raised in Japan I'd easily have thought you were brought up in an English speaking country.
Congratulations mate, you deserve it
It means MTR's prediction was 100% correct.What are you trying to say, epigene? Hmm?ﾂ
No, no, no... What I meant was that it sounded like you thought that there was no way I could score 990 if that hadn't been the case...It means MTR's prediction was 100% correct.
TOEIC scores are based on "relative" score rather than "absolute" score, meaning that you can get 990 even if you commit a couple of blunders, because you are compared against the rest of the test-takers (around the world) at that given examination.
I thought it was based on absolute scores and that you can't get 990 unless you are perfect, so I deducted some points from 990, for the number of blunders you might commit. (To err is human, you know...)
Getting back to the topic of teaching TOEIC, my husband and I went out for dinner last night and passed by a pretty respectable English conversation school (not one of the big chains) in our neighborhood. I had been talking about this thread with him, and he decided that he wanted to check the school out.My mail box is already flooded with mails from TOEIC people telling me to take other tests they offer. They have TOEIC SW (Speaking & Writing) as well as something called TOEIC LPI (Language Proficiency Interview).
Thank you very much, people. Now the score doesn't look that impressive...woaah wait, so hes been bragging and he didnt get 100% right?
lol
I think your next step is Eiken Grade 1. It's a breeze in your case, so ganbattene!
FYI, Eiken Grade 1 notifies you whether or not you passed the first part of the test. If you pass the second (speaking) part, they give you your "hensachi" score, which is very much like that "hensachi" you get in testing for university admission.
I would assume you were a native English speaker if I didnt already know you were japanese.
Uh...did anyone else think he was a native English speaker besides me?
hahaha I had always known he was Japanese but I didnt know how thick his American accent was until I heard him speak in english for the first time haha.
