TOEFL
TOEFL, or Test of English as a Foreign Language, is an English proficiency test taken by students who want to study in English-speaking countries abroad. ETS (Educational Testing Services) administers the TOEFL to assess candidates’ proficiency in all four academic English skills: reading, listening, speaking, and writing.
The TOEFL exam can be taken in a computer-delivered format known as the TOEFL iBT or internet-based test. The TOEFL exam is now available on paper. ETS has also launched TOEFL Home Edition, allowing students to take the exam from the comfort of their own homes.
TOEFL scores are widely accepted by American and Canadian universities as well as educational institutions abroad.
TOEFL is taken by students who wish to study abroad. If you want to study at an overseas university, you can take the TOEFL. Passing the TOEFL exam will allow you to apply for several scholarships and will expedite your visa application process.
TOEFL is one of the most popular English language tests among Indian students. Furthermore, TOEFL scores are accepted in over 11,000 institutions and universities worldwide. TOEFL scores are accepted for admission to universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand.
The test is a medium for assessing and judging a student’s English reading, writing, speaking, and listening abilities.
TOEFL Eligibility?
Candidates with a 10+2 diploma from a recognised board are eligible to take the TOEFL iBT. Aside from that, the ETS has not established any eligibility criteria for students wishing to take the TOEFL.
