The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is an English proficiency test widely accepted by universities and other organizations for admission and immigration purposes.
The TOEFL results are recognised by more than 10,000 organisations, including educational institutions, employers, professional associations and governments, in 140 countries around the world.
TOEFL Preparation - Understanding TOEFL Test Pattern
The TOEFL iBT (Internet Based Test) is the most popular and widely taken format of the test. The newly revised TOEFL Paper-based test is also closely aligned with the TOEFL iBT. The key difference between the two is the Speaking section, which – owing to the limitations of the technology – is not available in the paper-based format. 98% of test takers use the iBT format, considering it is preferred by universities for covering all aspects of the English language.
TOEFL Reading test (54-72 minutes)
3 to 4 passages from academic texts are presented. Test takers need to read them carefully and answer questions based on the passages. The reading section measures the ability to understand non-technical reading material written in English. Test takers are required to answer a number of questions based on the content in each passage. The TOEFL reading section does not test memory or knowledge of the reading material, it only tests the English comprehension ability of test takers
TOEFL Listening test (41-57 minutes)
Test takers listen to recordings of 4 to 6 lectures and classroom discussions, and 2 to 3 conversations, before answering questions based on these. The listening section measures the ability to understand spoken English as it is used in university classrooms. It contains 4 to 6 lectures with 6 questions each, and 2 or 3 conversations with 5 questions each. The lectures can come from any academic discipline.
TOEFL Speaking test (17 minutes)
Test takers get the tasks through written passages or recordings, and must speak into a microphone to record their response. Unlike the IELTS test , in the TOEFL speaking test, test takers are not required to speak directly with another person. Instead, they have to speak out loud into a microphone. No one listens to them at the moment, but their recordings are graded at a later date.
TOEFL Writing test (50 minutes)
Test takers must respond to two tasks: an independent essay, and an integrated response based on reading and listening given content. Writing section measures the ability to write in English in an academic setting. The TOEFL writing section includes an integrated task and an independent task, which work together to put the ability of a candidate to communicate through writing in an academic environment. The integrated writing task combines listening, reading and writing skills.
