All English-language tests

are not the sameGive yourself the advantage —

take the TOEFL testThe TOEFL test measures the English skills you will actually

use in the classroom.The TOEFL test helps you prove you have the English skills you’ll actually use in an academic

classroom. In the test, you may read a passage from a textbook and listen to a lecture and then

speak or write in response, just like you would in a classroom. Because the test is 100% academic,

universities think it is the most appropriate test to use when making admissions decisions.

The TOEFL test measures speaking more fairly than any

other test.Sure, you can take a test with a Speaking interview, but what if your interviewer has a bad day and

rates you lower than you deserve? With the TOEFL test there’s no doubt your score is more objective

and reliable, because Speaking responses are evaluated by three to six ETS raters rather than only one

rater from a local testing site.The TOEFL test is more convenient to take.

For decades, universities have accepted students with TOEFL scores because the test accurately

measures an applicant’s abilities. You can take the TOEFL test at your choice of more than 4,400

conveniently located test sites in more than 165 countries worldwide. You also save time and money

since the entire test is given in one day, rather than coming back a second day like some other tests.
