The Official Guide to the TOEFL Test Sixth Edition

This Official Guide has been designed to assist English language learners in comprehending and preparing for the TOEFL® test. As you prepare for the test, you will also develop the necessary skills to thrive in an academic environment and achieve success in your career and life.

Getting Started Begin your TOEFL® test preparation by reviewing the essential information about the test, its requirements, and how your scores will be used.

Undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate programs worldwide require students to demonstrate their proficiency in English as part of their admission criteria. The TOEFL test allows test takers to showcase their ability to communicate effectively by simulating real-life university and student interactions. The language used in the test reflects authentic English usage in university lectures, classes, and labs. Professors use this language to discuss coursework with students, and it is the same language students use in study groups or when purchasing books at the campus bookstore. The reading materials are derived from actual textbooks and course materials.

TOEFL® Scores Can Help You Achieve Your Goals The TOEFL® test evaluates how well test takers use English rather than just their knowledge of the language. As a valid and reliable test with objective scoring, it verifies that a student possesses the necessary English language skills to succeed academically.

This is why it has remained the leading academic English test for over fifty years. More than 11,000 universities and institutions in over 180 countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.S., the U.K., and across Europe and Asia, accept TOEFL scores. The test is administered at thousands of secure, ETS-approved test centers globally. Over 35 million people worldwide have taken the TOEFL test to help achieve their academic and professional goals.

Who Develops the TOEFL® Test? The TOEFL® test is created and administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS), the world’s largest educational assessment and research organization. ETS’s mission is to promote quality and fairness in education by providing fair, valid, and reliable assessments.

Who Needs to Take the TOEFL® Test? If English is not your first language, the college or university you plan to attend will likely require an English-language proficiency test. However, you should verify the specific requirements with each institution to which you are applying.

How Is the TOEFL® Test Used in Admissions? Your TOEFL scores will be evaluated alongside other application materials to determine whether you have the appropriate academic and language background for admission to a regular or modified study program. The required TOEFL score may vary depending on your field of study and whether you are applying as an undergraduate or graduate student.

Minimum Acceptable Score Each institution sets its own minimum TOEFL score requirements based on factors such as the field of study, level of study (undergraduate or graduate), whether the applicant will serve as a teaching assistant, and the availability of English as a Second Language support services.
