TOEIC EXAM on Jan 13th,2008

I applied for TOEIC Exam on Jan 13th, 2008 at English school today.

I think TOEIC score doesn't show people's total ability of English properly,
but at least, it's true that higher score is better to do many things in this country.
For example, it makes easier to enter the class of higher revel at English school.

I hope I'll be able to get higher score than last time.
