Test of English as a Foreign Language
About the TOEFL
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) tests your
ability to understand Standard North American English. The
TOEFL is written and administered by the Educational Testing
Service (ETS) and used by North American colleges and graduate
schools to evaluate the level of English-language proficiency
of international student applicants.
Required TOEFL scores vary between schools, so check with
the schools you're considering to attend beforehand.
In July of 1998, the TOEFL converted to a computer format
in most, but not all, areas of the world. There are four sections
to the test - Listening Comprehension, Structure and Written
Expression, and Reading Comprehension, and a required essay
(which can be typed or handwritten).
TOEFL Registration and Test Dates
Registration: Since the TOEFL exam is still given in both
formats - CBT (computer-based TOEFL) and pencil-and-paper
- it's suggested that you obtain a copy of the TOEFL Information
Bulletin for Computer-Based Testing before you register.
The Bulletin contains information about scheduling an appointment
for the test, test center information, identification requirements,
information about scores, and more. You can obtain a mailed
copy online (copies are mailed from the United States, so
allow up to 8 weeks for delivery to an address outside the
USA) or downloading a copy from
www.ets.org.

TOEFL Top Test-Taking Tips
-
Review key concepts. Do not frantically
try to memorize new material.
-
Know the exam location precisely - how
long it takes to get there, where to park, the building
and room, where you can eat during the break and assure
returning in time, etc. A late arrival can lead to panic
and unnerve you for a portion of the test.
-
Try to relax the evening before the test.
Attempting to learn anything new may end up confusing
what you already know. If you feel it necessary to study,
make this a light review.
-
Get a good night's rest.
-
Wake up early enough that you don’t have
to rush, have time to eat breakfast, and can get to the
test center a few minutes early.
-
Wear whatever you feel most comfortable
studying or testing in. Layers are a good idea - you never
know how hot or cold the room might be.
-
Finally, do the best you can, keeping
in mind that acceptance into a North American school depends
on other factors in addition to your TOEFL score. You
want to put together the best package deal as possible.
Since 1964 nearly 20 million students have taken the TOEFL test
in more than 165 countries. Over 4,500 institutions worldwide
use scores from TOEFL tests.
In September 2005, the next generation of the TOEFL will be
introduced (http://www.ets.org/news/03022501.html)
