Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
THE READING SECTION GROUNDWORK FOR THE TOEIC® L&R TEST（Sanshusha）
\2,200 (\2,000+tax)
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Make sure you have an environment where you can use an English-Japanese dictionary or an online dictionary site.
However, the Basic Practice and More Practice parts are solved quickly within a limited time, just like the actual test, and then the grammar is explained. Try to solve the question without preparing for it or using a dictionary.
