Regardless of where you plan to study, undergraduate and graduate programs around the world will ask you to demonstrate your ability to communicate in English as an entrance requirement. The Test of English as a Foreign LanguageTM (TOEFL) can open doors to more institutions than any other English test.
The most popular academic English test in the world
TOEFL scores are accepted at more than 6,000 universities and colleges in 110 countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and other European countries, Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific. And that gives you the most flexibility as you make your study plans.
Each institution decides what scores they require, so you should contact your selected universities to determine their specific requirements. If you haven’t yet decided where you will apply, you can view the list of 6,000 institutions that accept TOEFL scores.
It's just like real life
While you may be familiar with the computer-based and paper-based formats of the TOEFL test, what you may not know is that an Internet-based test (iBT) format is being phased in during 2006 (check the TOEFL Web site at www.ets.org/register33.html for the dates and test center locations in your area).
TOEFL iBT replicates real university classrooms and life. The language is designed to sound like typical conversations from university lectures and classes, labs, professors' discussions with students, study groups and other everyday situations. And reading passages are from real textbooks and course materials. This way of testing proves you can communicate your ideas and confirms you're ready to begin your academic studies.
