What is the TOEFL test?<\/b><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

TOEFL is an abbreviation for Test of English as a Foreign Languages. ETS's (Educational Testing Service) TOEFL Certification assesses a candidate's English language ability in an academic environment, more specifically the University environment in English-speaking countries. The language proficiency test measures 4 skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • There are two types of TOEFL\u00ae tests (digital TOEFL iBT and TOEFL PBT on paper). The type of test also depends on where you take the test.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u00a0In 2019, ETS announced a number of changes in the structure of the TOEFL iBT test that will be applied starting from August 1, 2019.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

        What preparation is required before taking the new TOEFL iBT exam structure?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

        Since the overall test format or question types do not change, this creates an advantage for those who take the test after August 1, 2019, after which the time is reduced. However, practice is still the key to better prepare you to achieve your goals.<\/span><\/p>\n
