international students aptitude within the English language. The test
is used to determine the language abilities of non-native English
speaker by testing abilities in speaking, listening, reading and writing
skills in English. The exam is administered by the Educational Testing
Service (ETS), and is offered at several different locations around the
country. The test was originally a paper-based exam, but was later
changed into a computer initiated test. While paper-based tests are
still available, the preferred method is computer-based. The test is
four hours in length and can be taken a maximum of once a week. TOEFL
scores stay valid for only two years. Since its inception in 1964, the
TOELF test has been taken by over 20 million students Why Take the TOEFL The TOEFL exam is required by almost every school for foreign students
who want to study any subject in the US. While there are many
requirements for international students to study in the US, the TOEFL is
one of the most important. Schools look to the TOEFL as one of their
earliest indicators to see if a foreign student is ready to study in the
US. Students should put in plenty of preparation to ensure they get a
top score. Test Format The main format for testing is the IBT or Internet-Based testing, which
was introduced in 2005 to replace the CBT (Computer-Based testing). The
CBT was officially retired in September of 2006 and so the main two
formats that are now used are IBT and PBT (Paper-Based Testing). The PBT
however is rarely used and the most common format is the IBT. The IBT format has been rolled out over a series of phases, with the
USA, Canada, France, Germany and Italy as the first to get the new
format and then the rest of the world was moved over in 2006. Demand for
the TOEFL IBT test is often very high and it is advisable to book a few
months in advance to make sure you get the date you want. The IBT consists of a 4 hour test in 4 sections which covers
Reading - students are given a reading passage and then posed questions about the content they have just read
Listening - students are given a passage to listen only once and are asked questions about the conversation
Speaking - students read passages and answer
questions on a variety of subjects. These replies are digitally
recorded and sent to exam judges to be tested
