TOEFL iBT

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (or TOEFL, pronounced "toe-full") evaluates the ability of an individual to use and understand English in an academic setting. It is an admission requirement for non-native English speakers at many English-speaking colleges and universities in USA and other countries. A TOEFL score is valid for two years. The TOEFL is administered by Educational Testing Services (ETS) and is conducted at many locations in India, as an internet based test.

TOEFL iBT® Test Content

The TOEFL iBT® test is administered via the internet. There are four sections (listening, reading,speaking and writing) which take a total of about four and a half hours to complete.

Combining All Four Skills: Listening, Reading, Speaking and WritingDuring the test, you are asked to perform tasks that combine more than one skill, such as:

  • Read, listen and then speak in response to a question.

  • Listen and then speak in response to a question.

  • Read, listen and then write in response to a question.
