What is the TOEFL exam?
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL ) is a standardized test to measure the English language ability of non-native speakers wishing to enroll in English-speaking universities. The test is accepted by many English-speaking academic and professional institutions. TOEFL is one of the two major English-language tests in the world. TOEFL is a trademark of the Educational Testing Service (ETS), a private non-profit organization, which designs and administers the tests. ETS issues official score reports which are sent independently to institutions and are valid for two years following the test.
Initially, the demand for test seats was higher than availability, and candidates had to wait for months. It is now possible to take the test within one to four weeks in most countries. The four-hour test consists of four sections, each measuring one of the basic language skills (while some tasks require integrating multiple skills), and all tasks focus on the language used in an academic, higher-education environment. Note-taking is allowed during the TOEFL iBT test. The test cannot be taken more than once every 3 days, starting from September 2019. The test contains 4 parts in this situation:
Task | Description | Approximate time |
Reading | 3-4 passages, each containing 10 questions | 54-72 minutes |
Listening | 5-7 passages, each containing 5–6 questions | 41-57 minutes |
Break | Mandatory break | 10 minutes |
Speaking | 4 tasks | 17 minutes |
Writing | 2 tasks | 50 minutes |
