TOEFL

Course Description

Because more than 5000 universities in 90 countries recognize these scores, the test is highly well-liked.

TOEFL Format

The TOEFL is administered online, thus the term TOEFL iBT (Internet-Based Test). A range of reading, listening, speaking, and writing assignments are included in the four-and-a-half-hour test.

Students will be required to mix all four skills—reading, listening, speaking, and writing—across the course of the exam. For instance, pupils can be required to:

  1. After reading and listening, respond to a question by writing.
  2. After reading and listening, respond to a question by speaking.
  3. After hearing the question, respond by speaking.

Details on the TOEFL Exam

ETS TOEFL Exam Types: The ETS TOEFL offers two types of English proficiency exams. i.e., TOEFL iBT (internet-based exam) and TOEFL iBT (paper-based exam) (TOEFL PBT).

TOEFL iBT Test by ETS

The TOEFL-iBT test is the most popular, with over 90% of students opting for the internet-based format. The TOEFL-iBT exam is divided into four sections: speaking, listening, writing, and reading. Students are required to complete all portions using a computer with a microphone and camera. Because the iBT test pattern lacks a specific portion to assess applicants’ grammar skills, the writing section is closely scrutinized. (* PBT is not accessible in Nepal) ETS TOEFL – PBT The TOEFL PBT is an English language test that is administered on paper. This test is available to students who do not live near an internet-based testing center. The TOEFL PBT test structure differs from the iBT test in that it includes a separate essay part. The recordings in the PBT’s listening part are shorter than those in the IBT.
