◆Differences between commercially available teaching materials and academic packs

There are many study materials available on the market, but many of them are created with the assumption that you have a fixed purpose or goal for taking the exam. A characteristic of commercially available teaching materials is that the purpose of taking the test is clear and that they efficiently support that purpose.
The Academic Pack starts with teaching materials on ``Why study and what to do to continue studying,'' and is characterized by its emphasis on support at the pre-study stage. Next, you will understand the exam content and question structure, take a mini-test to get an overview of the exam, and then practice questions from each section.

◆What kind of people is this teaching material suitable for?

■I think it's necessary to study English, but I don't feel like studying for some reason.
■I'm thinking of studying English in order to get a job or go to higher education.
→I think I can recommend it to these people.

◆Q&A regarding Academic Pack

Q. It seems that there are packs that come with videos and other teaching materials, but are they not available for purchase at the University of Tokyo Co-op?
A.We do not offer packs of supplementary materials because we believe it is best for each student to choose additional materials according to their own interests and level of progress. If you need additional teaching materials, please look for the teaching material of your choice at the Komaba Book Department store, which has a wide selection of items.

Q. There is also a pack called "TOEIC TEST® Starter Kit", but how is it different from "TOEIC TEST® Starter Kit 800"?
A.The University of Tokyo Co-op is proposing the TOEIC® Starter Kit 800, which is a product aimed at achieving a score of 800 points. For those who do not score 800, the product is targeted for a score of 600 points.

Q. I would like to hear from seniors who have actually used the product.
