English as a Foreign Language TOEFL is abbreviated English proficiency exam

in the United States or other countries in the world. This exam is required for
applicants whose native language or the speaker is not English. TOEFL exam is
organized by the office of ETS (Educational Testing Service) in the United
States for all test takers around the world.
TOEFL English language test types
are generally required for college entrance requirements at most universities
in the United States and Canada both for the undergraduate program (S-1) and
graduate (S-2 or S-3). TOEFL test results are also used as a material
consideration regarding English language proficiency of the students who apply
to universities in other countries, including universities in Europe and
Australia. In general, the TOEFL test is more oriented to American English, and
a little different from the types of IELTS test-oriented to British English.
Not like IELTS, TOEFL test is generally not have the individual part interview
test.
The test usually takes about three
hours and is organized into 4 parts, namely:
listening comprehension,
grammar structure and written
expression,
reading comprehension, and passage
writing.
Since 1998, the TOEFL test is
conducted online using a computer (Computer-based Testing / CBT), and since
2005 called the iBT (Internet-based Test). In places that have not been able to
implement CBT or iBT (because there are no computer facilities and internet
network), the TOEFL test is still conducted manually using paper and pencil
(paper-based test or PBT). More information about the test CBT and paper-based
TOEFL relating to registration, venue, cost, and test preparation materials can
be found on the official website of TOEFL, http://www.toefl.org (CBT version of
the TOEFL exam results have value ranges from 0 to 300, while the value for the
iBT is from 0 to 120)
Lately TOEFL test organizers also
held a kind of test TWE (Test of Written English) is the result of a separate
value TOEFL test scores. The test takes 30 minutes, and participants will be
asked to write a short essay that describes the ability of participants to

Another type of test that is TSEP

of the interview on the IELTS test. They are usually used when we want to
register as a teaching assistant or lab assistant (as one way to offset the
cost of tuition) in universias in the U.S. (or other countries). Form of tests
