TOEIC Part5の対策法
さて、ここからはTOEIC Part5の対策法を解説します！
語彙力を強化する
語彙問題は出題数が多いです。
また、語彙力は英文を読むために必須です。
よって、まずは語彙力を鍛えることから始めていきましょう。
語彙力を鍛える方法は3つあります。
- （英語初心者のみ）中学レベルの基本英単語を覚える
- TOEIC特化の英単語帳で英単語を覚える
- 問題演習で登場したわからない英単語を調べてノートにまとめて定期的に見直す
①・②で頻出単語をおさえ、③で頻出ではないけど重要な英単語をカバーしていきましょう。
また、英単語を覚えるコツが3つあります。
- 発音する
- 反復する（1度に多くの英単語に目を通すことを繰り返す）
- 毎日寝る前に暗記する
これだけで英単語の暗記効率はグッと向上するので、ぜひ実践してください。
英文法を学ぶ
文法問題を解くには、文法をしっかり理解しておくことが重要です。
また、文法を理解すればPart6やPart7の読解力・速読力が上がるので、全体のスコアアップを期待できます。
英文法を学ぶなら、「スタディサプリ ENGLISH
TOEICテスト対策
」を利用するのが圧倒的におすすめです。
その理由は3つあります。
- TOEICに必要な文法知識をゼロから授業動画で学べる
- 関先生が授業を担当しているからとにかくわかりやすい
- スマホで動画を視聴できるから通勤通学などスキマ時間に勉強できる

スタディサプリ ENGLISH
問題を繰り返し解いてパターンを把握する
語彙力と英文法の学習が進んできたら、実際に問題を解く段階に入ります。
問題を繰り返し解いて、問題のパターンを覚えていきましょう。
時間を意識しながら問題を解く
ある程度パターンを覚えたら、次は時間を意識しながら問題を解いてください。
記事後半の「TOEIC Part5の時間配分と目標点【目標スコア別】」を参考にして、時間配分を決めましょう。
問題演習後はわからない英単語・文法知識を調べる
特に英語力がまだ低い場合、問題文中にわからない英単語や文法知識が多く登場するはずです。
わからない知識は必ずインターネット等で調べるよう意識しましょう。
「わからない」を1つ1つ潰していくことが、TOEICスコアアップのためにはとても重要です。
スラッシュリーディング
特に英語初心者の場合、英文を「返り読み」してしまう方が多いです。
返り読みとは英文を一度最後まで目を通した後に後ろからもう一度読んで日本語に訳していくことです。
返り読みしてしまうと、英文を読むスピードが遅くなります。
よって、Part5の解答スピードも遅くなります。
もちろん、Part6やPart7の解答スピードも遅くなります。実際、スコアが伸びない原因が「返り読み」である方は多いです。
英文を返り読みしないで前から理解できるようにするために、スラッシュリーディングをしましょう。
スラッシュリーディングというのは意味のまとまりごとにスラッシュを入れる練習法です。
例えば、以下のように行います。
The construction company / will negotiate a new agreement / with the city council / to build the public park.
※これはあくまで一例です。
※これはあくまで一例です。
スラッシュの入れ方は1つではありません。
慣れないうちはスラッシュの量は多くなると思います。
が、練習するうちにより多くの部分を「ひとまとまり」として認識できるようになります。
そして最終的には、スラッシュを入れなくても英文を前から理解できるようになります。
TOEIC600点未満はPart5を優先して対策すべき
Part5はリーディングセクションの中で最も簡単なPartです。
Part5を素早く正確に解いて、確実に点数を取れるようになることが、スコアアップのために重要です。
特に、TOEIC600点未満の方はPart5を優先して対策しましょう。

TOEIC公式問題集

問題集としては価格が少し高いですが、本気でTOEICを勉強するなら最低1冊は持っておきたい問題集です。
TOEIC Part5の時間配分と目標点【目標スコア別】
目標スコア別のTOEIC Part5の理想の時間配分と目標点（素点）は以下のとおりです。
| 目標スコア | 時間配分（1問当たり解答時間） | 目標素点 |
| 〜600点 | 13分（26秒/問） | 24問/30問 |
| 600点〜700点 | 10分（20秒/問） | 24問/30問 |
| 700点〜800点 | 8分（16秒/問題） | 27問/30問 |
| 800点〜900点 | 6分（12秒/問題） | 27問/30問 |
| 900点以上 | 5分（10秒/問題） | 30問/30問 |
TOEIC Part5の解くコツ
さて、ここからはTOEIC Part5の問題を解くコツを解説します。
1問に使う制限時間を決める
TOEICは問題量の割に試験時間が短い試験です。
そして、スコアアップのためには、試験時間内に多くの問題を解くことが重要です。
そのためには、Part5の1問1問に時間を使いすぎるわけにはいきません。
問題や選択肢に知らない英単語が登場したり、わからない文法構造が登場したりした場合、どれだけ考えても正答を導けないことがほとんどです。
よって、制限時間を設けて、制限時間を超えそうな問題はスパッと諦めるようにしましょう。
目標スコアにもよりますが、基本的には「1問当たり30秒以内」を制限時間にするのがおすすめです。
一部の問題は空欄の前後のみ読む
品詞問題や前置詞・接続詞問題などの場合、わざわざ全文を読まなくても空欄の前後を読めばすんなり解ける問題があります。
「全文読むべきか、空欄前後だけで良いのか」を瞬時に判断できるようになれば、解答スピードがグッと速くなります。
その判断力を身につけるには、前述した「問題パターンの把握」が重要です。
「空欄前後読みで良いのか」を意識しながら、問題演習を繰り返してパターンを把握していきましょう。

TOEICに関してよくある質問
TOEICは何点からすごいと評価される？
一般的な企業の場合、就職・転職や昇進・昇格の際の評価では600点が1つの基準となります。
よって、それより100点高い700点取れれば、すごいと評価されるでしょう。
ほかの候補者と英語力で差別化できます。
また、800点あれば外資系など国際関係の企業への就職が選択肢の1つになります。
公開テストとIPテストはどっちを受けるべき？
公開テストとIPテストのスコアの有効性に違いはないので、基本的にはどちらを受けても構いません。
受験料がリーズナブルなIPテストを受けるのがおすすめです。
ただ、就職や転職の際に公開テストでのみ受け取れる「公式認定証」の原本・コピーが求められる場合があります。
その場合は公開テストの受験が必要なので注意してください。
大学生はTOEICをいつまでに受けるべき？
就活を意識するなら、大学2年生から受験して、就活やインターンが始まる1〜6ヶ月前には一定以上のスコアを確保することが理想です。
対策は大学1年生の頃から始めましょう。
また、就活で使えるスコアは600点以上ですが、TOEIC初心者がいきなり600点を取るのは難しいです。
よって、初受験では500点を目指すのがおすすめです。
TOEICを受ける理想の頻度は？
TOEICを受ける理想の頻度は毎月です。
毎月TOEICを受けるメリットは3つあります。
- TOEIC学習のモチベーションを維持しやすい
- 目標スコアを達成できる可能性が高くなる
- 試験に慣れやすい
ただ、現実的に毎月受験するのは難しいでしょう。
よって、以下を目安に受験するのがおすすめです。
- 社会人は3ヶ月に1回
- 大学生は2ヶ月に1回
- 自分の英語力チェックor英語力を維持したい方は半年に1回
