Reasons for taking the TOEFL® test The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is an examination that is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and is used to evaluate a non-native English speaker’s proficiency in English Language. Many North America Colleges and universities, as well as a large number of institutions, agencies, and programs, ask for official TOEFL test scores during the admissions process. An acceptable score on TOEFL test depends on the specific requirements of the particular institution of agency involved.

 

Taking the TOEFL iBT TEST The TOEFL iBT test will be administered on fixed dates in a network of secure Internet-based test centers. Most areas where the test is offered will have 30 to 40 administrations per year, but the number will vary based on the number of test-takers and test center capacity. Most colleges accept only the official score report received directly from ETS. When you register for the test, you may designate up to four institutions you would like your scores to be sent to. These may be modified until 10.00 p.m. on the day before the test. You may also order additional score reports. Your scores will be sent to you and to your designated recipients 15 business days after you take the test.
