The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL®) is an examination that is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and used to evaluate a nonnative English speaker's proficiency in the English language. Many North American colleges and universities, as well as a large number of institutions, agencies, and programs, ask for official TOEFL® Test score reports for international students. An acceptable score on the TOEFL® Test depends on the specific requirements of the particular institution or agency involved.
In the United States and Canada, you will have to take the computerized test. Elsewhere, depending on where you live or the circumstances in which you are taking the test, you will have to take either the computerized test or the paper test. You should find out which test you will be taking so that you can become familiar with its requirements and test format.
