The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign
Language) test is written and administered by Educational
Testing Service (ETS) of Princeton, New Jersey. The test
measures basic English proficiency in Listening, Structure,
Reading and Writing and is used for admissions by colleges
and universities. You can register for the test, offered
in more than 170 countries, by visiting TOEFL
Online, completing the registration form and remitting
payment of $110. You will be given a morning or afternoon
test-date appointment and will need 4 hours for completing
the test. You will receive an official score reports either
two weeks later if you type your essay, or five weeks
later if you handwrite your essay. You may only take one
TOEFL test per calendar month. TOEFL scores are valid
for admission up to two years after you take the test.
Below is a rough comparison between old and new TOEFL®
scores.
- your answer to any one question determines
the difficulty level of the next question.
|
- you may view only one question at a time
|
- you must answer each question as it comes on the
scree
|
- you cannot skip a question or change answers
to previous questions.
|
- The first question you will see in each of
these sections will be of average difficulty.
If you answer this question correctly, you'll
see a harder question next, and if you answer
it incorrectly, you'll get an easier question.
The questions will continue like this until the
test ascertains your level of performance.
|
- You will only be able to see one question at
a time
|
- You will have to confirm your answer to a question
in order to see the next one. Once you've selected
an answer and then confirmed it and moved on to
the next question, you won't be able to go back
and change your answer to that question. (You
can, however, change your answer to a question
as often as you like until you tell the computer
to move on to the next question.)
