Introduction

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is a globally recognized English language proficiency exam that measures your ability to understand, communicate, and use English effectively in academic settings. Widely accepted by universities, colleges, and institutions worldwide, TOEFL assesses your reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills.

 

TOEFL is offered in two main formats: the TOEFL iBT (Internet-based Test) and the TOEFL PBT (Paper-based Test). The TOEFL iBT is the most common format and is taken on a computer. It includes integrated tasks that assess multiple skills simultaneously, reflecting real-life language use. The TOEFL PBT is available in locations where the iBT format is not accessible and focuses on reading, listening, writing, and grammar.

 

The TOEFL Speaking section involves recording spoken responses, which are later evaluated by human raters to ensure accuracy and fairness in scoring. Your TOEFL score is reported on a scale of 0 to 120, with each section receiving a separate score and a total score that represents your overall English language proficiency.

 

With its reputation for accuracy, fairness, and alignment with academic English requirements, TOEFL is an essential tool for individuals seeking educational and professional opportunities in English-speaking environments. It offers a comprehensive evaluation of your language skills and provides a standardized measure of your readiness to succeed in academic and professional pursuits that require English proficiency.
