RM released his awaited Weverse V live today today. During the V live chat, RM shared his TOEIC exam result. Don’t let the evil eye touch RM, we can say that the exam score is close to 100%.
RM’s first English Proficiency Exam (TEPS), during his study in New Zealand when he was 12, was 797 out of 990. RM achieved Class 2+ grade with this exam result. According to the results of the exam, the area where RM was best at that time was not listening to English. Understanding what you are listening to is the most basic way to communicate. RM took the TOEIC exam when he was 15 years old. He got 850 out of RM 990, which scored near perfect in listening. This is an excellent score for non-native English speakers.
Last July, RM took the TOEIC exam again, 10 years after his first exam. Saying that he took the exam just for fun, RM got 915 out of 990 in this TOEIC exam. RM answered a question in the exam as follows.
TOEIC is a globally valid exam organized by ETS to measure their skills and competencies within the scope of Business English. While the TOEIC GPA in South Korea is 675, it is around 500 in the world.
Could RM have taken the TOEIC test for a reason other than entertainment? Or will he apply for a master’s program at a foreign university? Like Harvard? Why not!
