What Is the TOEFL Test?

The Test of English as a Foreign Language™ (TOEFL®) measures the English-ability of nonnative speakers of English to use and understand English as it is spoken, written, and heard in college and university settings.

The TOEFL® test is the most widely respected English-language test in the world, recognized by more than 9,000 colleges, universities and agencies in more than 130 countries, including Australia, Canada, the U.K. and the United States.

Why Take the TOEFL® Test?

More than 9,000 colleges, universities and agencies in more than 130 countries rely onTOEFL® test scores to help make admissions decisions.

You can take the TOEFL test at your choice of conveniently located, ETS-approved test sites around the world. 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.

Measures Academic Skills

The TOEFL test helps prove you have the English skills you will 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 composed of 100% academic questions and tasks, many universities consider it the most appropriate test to use when making admissions decisions.

By sending TOEFL scores to your selected university, you will be proving that you are ready for academic success.

Who Accepts TOEFL® Scores?

More than 9,000 colleges, agencies and other institutions in over 130 countries accept TOEFL® scores. Other organizations rely on TOEFL scores as well:

What to Bring on Test Day

You need to bring two things to the test center:

1. Your Registration Number:

Your registration number is on your Registration Confirmation. Go to your online account TOEFL the day before the test. Any changes made at the test site (like the start time) will be updated for you.

To view or print your Registration Confirmation:

2. Valid, acceptable identification (ID) document(s):

Test takers are advised to bring at least two forms of acceptable ID each time they report to a test center. With few exceptions, ID documents must meet all of the following requirements. Each ID document must:

If you do not bring valid and acceptable identification, or if the name on your ID does not exactly match the name on your registration, you will not be permitted to test and your test fee will not be refunded.

If positive confirmation cannot be made, you may not be permitted to test or your test scores may be held or canceled.

Test centers are not required to hold your seat if you leave the center to obtain acceptable identification.

All reported cases of questionable ID are subject to review and approval by the ETS Office of Testing Integrity either during or after the test administration.

ETS reserves the right to hold and/or cancel scores in the event that the ID requirements set forth herein are not met.

TOEFL iBT® Test Scores

Your scores are based on your performance on the questions in the test. You must answer at least one question each in the Reading and Listening sections, write at least one essay, and complete at least one Speaking task to receive an official score.

For the TOEFL iBT® test, administered via the Internet, you will receive four scaled section scores TOEFL and a total score:

In addition to your scores, your test taker score report also includes performance feedback that is a reflection of your performance level and a description of the kinds of tasks that test takers within the reported score range can typically do.

There is no passing or failing TOEFL® score; individual higher education institutions and agencies set their own score requirements.

TOEFL scores are valid for two years after the test date and there is no limit to the number of times you can take the test, but you cannot take it more than once in a 12-day period.

If you already have a test appointment, you cannot register for another test within 12 days of your existing appointment.

The Way the Test is Scored

ETS uses both human raters and automated scoring methods to offer a complete and accurate picture of a test taker's ability.

While automated scoring models have advantages, they do not measure the effectiveness of the language response and the appropriateness of its content.

Human raters are needed to attend to a wider variety of features, such as the quality of ideas and content as well as form.

Additionally, studies have shown that prompts designed for fully automated scoring have been more vulnerable to prompt-specific preparation and memorized responses.

The TOEFL test uses automated scoring to complement human scoring for the two tasks in the Writing section. Combining human judgment for content and meaning, and automated scoring for linguistic features, ensures consistent, quality scores.

Scores and Score Reports

a) How do I get my scores?

Your TOEFL test payment entitles you to

Scores are posted online 15 business days after the test date and then mailed to you and your designated score recipients.

b) How do I order additional score reports?

You can order additional iBT score reports online, by fax, or by mail, and have them sent to institutions you did not identify when you registered to test.

You need your registration number to place an order. Credit cards are required for online and fax orders.
