TOEFL Exams

Why take a TOEFL exam?

TOEFL is accepted by more institutions than any other English-language test in the world — including the top colleges and universities.

See a list of 7,000+ institutions in 165 countries (PDF), including almost every university in the U.S., UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, that accept TOEFL scores for admissions, scholarship and graduation decisions.

About the Exam

The TOEFL iBT measures how well you read, listen, speak and write in English and use these skills together in the university classroom. For example, you might read a passage or listen to a lecture, and then write or speak about what you learned.
