TOEIC test

Today, I took the TOEIC test in the morning at ten. I usually take the TOEIC course on Tuesdays every week. So I must take the TOEIC test. I thought I can answer the TOEIC's question better than I took the TOEIC test before. Because I study on Tuesdays every week. But it was not easy for me. I think that the TOEIC test is battle for time. I don't always answer all questions in time. I think that my subject is increasing vocabulary. If I increase vocabulary more, I can answer questions faster than now. And it lead up to contraction of time. I think I should study hard more everyday. I should learn English words. And then when I take the next TOEIC test, I try to answer questions in time.
