I just took TOEIC test last Saturday... I was so lucky that I took the new version of TOEIC test. I think it's quite harder than the old one. The last year I really wanted to go to the rest room while I was taking test so I couldn't concentrate with reading comprehention part. I thought "no more" for this time. I thought I would prepare myself, read books, practice, practice and practice...But something happened... My philipino friend, she was my tutor, she said I didn't need to be in the classroom. She copy example test, it was from Oxford book. She said "Neung, do it at home tonight (Thurs) and then show me tomorrow (Fri), we will see what you have to do..."Then I got fever on Thurs night. I took some pills and then passed out while I was practice listening part. Great!! On Friday, I did the both parts and show her. She said I might got around 790. She shown me how I did mistakes, mostly just simply ones which I knew about it already. She said I should be more careful.I got fever again on Friday night, so I made up my mind, I wouldn't do anything but sleep.Saturday morning had come. I was so lazy, I felt like I had no energy left. It was too late to postpone the test... I had to go or pay 500 baht fine next time. I thought, whatever result I would get... I just went there and do my best.I arrived BB building at 12.30 for registered and etc. I didn't wanna eat anything, but before 1 pm. I realized that I should get something to eat... so i went to Family Mart down stairs to get milk chocolate.It was so boring in the testing room, I wasn't feel well at all... felt so tired and wanna sleep. The show must go on, I think..."Just do it"The listening part was ok, as long as I didn't hear any English accent or Aussie accent, my ear couldn't catch up. Reading part was horrible... I couldn't finish reading one passage grrrrrr... 75 mins wasn't enough for a slow reader like me. 
After the test.. I felt like I would lucky if I could get same score... but I thought I might get only 500 points... It's ok to me.. I didn't read books, I didn't practice enough. So I admit what I would deserve.However, today I went to my friend's desk, the guy who took care of TOEIC project told me that TOEIC sent the Saturday score to him already... but it was confidential... let would look at it and tell me later. He was quit shocked when he saw it..."How could you do that?" he asked me... then his supervisor just took a look at the score "What?? That's high score, let me check I think you can get maximum pay" she said.I asked them I really wanna see it... they stopped me, "it's confidential besides, a lot of your friends around we don't want them to see your score...they will envy you" "Aww!! OK" I said... but I don't think anyone think that way. An hour after that, the training Sup. She is also my friend ran to hug me..."You keng mak (smart/ clever) you can do best score of our dept." "Huh!! really?? that high??" I asked her. "yes!! 865 point, you get maximum monthly payment... 4000 baht" not many people (in my job level) can get it na.865 ror?? I wish I could do... but I didn't think I could make it without taking class, reading books, studying. I didn't get well prepared, I got sick. For me that's wonderful score, ever!!but Hey!! without good friends I couldn't make it at all... they are all my back up... Renz, she is very good tutor, she spent hours to teach me, to show me my weak points. Simon, he is good teacher, who tried to teach me in limited time....thks for speaking with me to practice listening. Plus...reading forum topics and journals here make me get better skill for reading. hehe...
