Why TOEFL?

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is one of the most widely respected English language proficiency tests accepted by universities, immigration departments, and licensing authorities around the world. It is developed and administered by ETS (Educational Testing Service). The test measures a non-native speaker’s ability to use and understand English in an academic setting.

Recognized by more than 12,000 institutions in over 160 countries, TOEFL is an essential gateway for students and professionals pursuing opportunities in English-speaking environments.

Structure of the TOEFL Exam

The TOEFL iBT is divided into four core sections, each designed to evaluate a different language skill: Listening, Reading, Writing, and speaking.

Listening

The Listening section lasts about 36 minutes and contains lectures and conversations. Candidates answer questions that test their ability to understand key ideas, details, and speaker attitudes.

Reading

The Reading section takes 35 minutes and includes 2 academic passages with 10 questions each. It assesses comprehension, vocabulary, and the ability to understand academic texts.

Writing

The Writing section is 29 minutes long and includes 2 tasks: an integrated task that combines reading and listening, and an independent essay. It evaluates how well ideas are organized, supported, and communicated in written English.

Speaking

This section is 16 minutes long and includes 4 tasks. Test-takers express an opinion on a familiar topic and speak based on reading and listening tasks. Responses are scored on delivery, language use, and topic development.

Understanding TOEFL Scores

TOEFL iBT scores range from 0 to 120, with each of the four sections scored between 0 and 30. Most universities require a total score between 80 and 100, though elite institutions may ask for 105 or more.

Each section score reflects the ability to use English in real-life academic scenarios, making TOEFL scores an important part of your study or immigration application.
