Register
You need a valid identification document to make a registration. When you register, make sure you
have a valid national ID or passport at hand. Please note you will have to present the same
identification that you use for registration on test day. A different, invalid or expired passport will not
be accepted, and you will not be allowed to sit the test. If you’re under 18, your parents will also
need to complete the Parent consent for candidates under 18 form.

What is TOEFL?
TOEFL stands for ‘Test of English as a Foreign Language’. If you intend to enrol in a university or
graduate program overseas, the institution may require that you have a strong academic command
of the English language. The TOEFL exam is a perfect solution in this situation. The TOEFL iBT® test
measures your ability to use and understand English at a university level. It also assesses how well
you combine your listening and reading comprehension and speaking and writing skills to complete
academic tasks. Note that not every college or university requires incoming international students to
take a TOEFL exam.

Difference between TOEFL and TOEIC
TOEFL is not the only test of English as a foreign language. You will probably end up taking the TOEFL
if you are a student as it is more focussed on the academic English. You might need to take the Test
of English for International Communication (TOEIC) rather than the TOEFL if you need to
demonstrate your English proficiency for a job or work visa. Since the TOEIC evaluates every day and
business language rather than academic language, it is more suitable for use in professional settings.

The best for succeeding in the classroom
– Only the TOEFL test prepares you for the academic requirements of a university when it
comes to English. The test questions combine reading, listening, speaking and writing skills just like in

a classroom. Studying for the TOEFL test helps ensure that you come to college better prepared than
those who didn’t take the TOEFL test.
100% fair and unbiased scoring
There is no unfair TOEFL test center because the tests are not graded by them. Tests are graded
through a centralized scoring network only. The crucial Speaking section uses many human
proofreaders who do not know the identities of the candidates. This prevents bias that can occur in other tests that use a face-to-face interview with a single scorer.

More than 35 million people around the world have taken the TOEFL test to prove their knowledge
of English. The average level of English skills ranges from intermediate to advanced.

Where and when can I take the TOEFL iBT test?
The TOEFL test offers more than 50 test dates per year at authorized test centers around the world.
You can retake the test as many times as you want, but you must wait 12 days between each test. If
you already have an appointment to take the test, you cannot register for another test that will take
place within 12 days of your first test date. The registration fee is due each time you register for a
test date.

This policy will apply even if no violation is immediately identified (for example in the event of
inconsistent registration information).
If a violation is identified after registration but before the test date, your test invitation will be
cancelled and the cost of the test will not be refunded.
If the violation is not detected before your scores have been reported, your scores will be void. You
and any recipients of your scores will be notified via a cancellation letter, and the cost of the test will
not be refunded.
