Important examples of customized in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, customized often refers to products or services made to fit specific needs.

▪The company offers customized solutions.
▪The company provides solutions made to fit needs.

Example of a confusing word: standardized (made uniform)

▪The company offers standardized solutions.
▪The company provides uniform solutions.
"Customized" means "tailored" or "made to fit specific requirements," and is used to describe solutions or products that are specifically designed for individual needs. In the sentence "The company offers customized solutions," it correctly indicates that the solutions are tailored. "Standardized," on the other hand, means "made uniform" or "consistent," which implies a one-size-fits-all approach. Using "standardized" in this context would mean the opposite of "customized," as it suggests uniformity rather than personalization. Therefore, "customized" is the correct choice for indicating tailored solutions.
