Welcome to the world of TOEFL!

The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is a standardized test that measures the English proficiency of non-native English speakers who want to study, work, or live in English-speaking countries. Here's a brief overview to get you started:

What is TOEFL?

The TOEFL is a multiple-choice test that assesses your ability to understand, read, write, and speak in English. It's designed to evaluate your English language skills in a variety of contexts, including academic, professional, and social settings.

What are the sections of the TOEFL?

The TOEFL test consists of four sections:

  1. Reading: You'll read three passages and answer multiple-choice questions about them.
  2. Listening: You'll listen to four to six lectures or conversations and answer multiple-choice questions about them.
  3. Speaking: You'll be asked to speak in response to six prompts, which will be played through headphones.
  4. Writing: You'll write two essays: one independent essay and one integrated writing task.

What are the scoring ranges?

The TOEFL test scores range from 0 to 120 points, with each section scored separately. The scores are then combined to give you a total score.

What are the score requirements?

The score requirements vary depending on the institution or organization you're applying to. Typically, universities and colleges require a minimum score of 80-100, while some may require a higher score.
