The TOEFL test measures your ability to integrate the four English skills you need in an academic setting, making it the most comprehensive academic English test available. The test, often referred to as the TOEFL iBT test, is administered at more than 4,500 test sites around the world. A paper-based version of the test is available in areas where TOEFL iBT testing is not possible.
You can take the Internet-based Test (iBT) or the Paper-based Test (PBT), depending on whichformat is offered at your test center.Select a location to find out which format is offered there.
The TOEFL iBT measures how well you read, listen, speak and write in English and use these skills together in the university classroom. For example, you may read a passage or listen to a lecture, and then write or speak about what you learned.
The TOEFL Paper-based Test (PBT) measures how well you read, listen and write in English. Writing skills are measured with the TWE (Test of Written English), which everyone takes as part of the TOEFL PBT. The TSE (Test of Spoken English) measures how well test takers speak in English and is available to anyone who needs scores for college admission or certification in a professional field.
The test is given in English, has 4 sections (reading, listening, speaking and writing), and takes about 4½ hours. Taking notes is allowed during the TOEFL iBT; your notes will be collected after the test.
| Section | Time | No.of questions |
| Reading | 60-100 minutes | 36-70 |
| Listening | 60-90 minutes | 34-51 |
| Speaking | 20 minutes | 6 tasks |
| Writing | 50 minutes | 2 tasks |
A TOEFL score is valid for two years. Because language proficiency
can change considerably in a relatively short period of time, scores more
than two years old cannot be reported or verified.
If you took the TOEFL test more than two years ago and need to submit
scores to an agency or institution, you must take the test again to have
your scores reported. Colleges and universities usually consider only
the most recent TOEFL score.
Where and when to take the TOEFL test
The TOEFL test is offered in more locations around the world than any other English-language test, making it easier for you to find a convenient location.
The TOEFL iBT is given 30-40 times a year, at thousands of secure, Internet-based test sites around the globe.
The TOEFL Paper-based Test (or TOEFL PBT) is offered in areas where the TOEFL iBT is not available, and is given 6 times a year. You can register online or by mail.
