TOEFL
(TEST OF ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

What is TOEFL ?

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) measures the ability of nonnative speakers of English to use and understand North American English as it is used in college and university settings. Scores on the test are required by more than 4,300 two- and four-year colleges and universities, professional schools, and sponsoring institutions.

The test is offered on computer throughout most regions of the world. In areas where access to computer-based testing is limited, a supplemental paper-and-pencil version of the test is administered.

FREQENTLY ASKED QUISTIONS ON TOFEL

Q. What is the difference between the TOEFL iBT® and TOEFL® PBT tests?
The TOEFL test is offered in two formats: the TOEFL iBT® Test is administered via the Internet, and the TOEFL PBT test is administered in a paper-based format. The format you take depends on your testing location. Test centers that do not have Internet access offer the TOEFL PBT test.

The TOEFL iBT test measures reading, listening, speaking and writing skills. It is offered 30 to 40 times a year, and is administered online via computer at more than 4,500 testing sites in 165 countries. Most test takers take the TOEFL iBT test.
The TOEFL PBT test measures reading, listening, grammar and writing skills and is offered six times a year in areas where Internet-based testing is not available.

Q. Where are TOEFL test scores accepted?
More than 8,000 colleges, universities and agencies in 130 countries accept TOEFL scores. View the TOEFL® Destinations Directory. To learn more about how the TOEFL test can be your passport to study anywhere English is spoken, watch our new video, The TOEFL® Test: Your Passport to the World (Flash).

Q. How often is the test given?
The TOEFL iBT test is given on fixed dates, 30 to 40 times a year. Select your test date and location here.The TOEFL PBT test is offered where the TOEFL iBT test is not available and is given six times a year.

Q. Why should I take the TOEFL test over another test?
• It's the most highly respected around the world
• It's the most widely accepted
• It's the most accurately measured
• It's the most fair and unbiased
• It offers the most testing locations

Q. How much does the TOEFL test cost, what is the test fee refund policy?
Costs depend on the test location you choose. Usually, the cost ranges from US$160 to US$250.For more information on registration fees, locations, test dates and test formats visit on its own website. If you cancel your registration by the three-day advance deadline (not including test day), you will receive a refund of half the original test fee you paid. Refunds will be in U.S. dollars. Cash refunds are not available

Q. When and How I can register for the test?
Seats fill up quickly, so register early. We recommend that you register three to four months before your desired test date to reserve your seat. Your test date should be two to three months before your earliest admissions application deadline. You can register using one of four methods — online, in person, by phone or by mail. Online registration is the fastest, easiest method. You can choose where you want to test and see which dates are available at over 4,500 testing locations in over 165 countries.

Q. What is the best way to prepare for the TOEFL test?
Practicing your reading, listening, speaking and writing skills as much as possible will help you feel prepared and confident on test day. We offer resources to make it easier. Because ETS is the maker of the TOEFL test, it is the only source for authentic sample questions. For detailed descriptions of test preparation materials available, see test preparation. Watch our new video, TOEFL® Resources: An Overview for Students (Flash) to learn about the tools from ETS that can help you prepare for the TOEFL test.

Q. What are TOEFL test scores like?
The TOEFL iBT test provides scores in four skill areas — Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing — and a total score:
• Reading 0–30
• Listening 0–30
• Speaking 0–30
• Writing 0–30
• Total Score 0–120
The total score is the sum of the four skill scores.

SCORING AND REPORTING

Because nonstandard test administrations are conducted under varying conditions and for only a small number of test takers, the degree of comparability of the resulting scores with those achieved under standard conditions is not always known. When an approved testing accommodation affects a test construct that is measured, a statement is included with the score report indicating that the test was taken under nonstandard testing conditions. In interpreting results, score recipients are reminded that test scores should be considered only one part of an applicant’s record.
