The TOEFL® test is the most widely accepted English-language test in the world. No matter where you want to study, the TOEFL test can help get you there.

The TOEFL® test measures your ability to communicate in English in colleges and universities. Accepted by 6,000+ institutions in more than 130 countries, it is the most widely accepted English-language test in the world.

You can take the Internet-based Test (iBT) or the Paper-based Test (PBT), depending on which format is offered at your test center.

Internet-based Test (iBT)

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.

Paper-based Test (PBT)

Test Your Reading, Listening and Writing Skills with TOEFL PBT

The TOEFL Paper-based Test (PBT) measures how well you read, listen and write in English. Writing skills are measured with the TWE® (Test of Written English™) test, which everyone takes as part of the TOEFL PBT.

Test Your Speaking Skills with the TSE® (Test of Spoken English™) Test

The TSE (Test of Spoken English) test measures how well test takers speak in English and is available to anyone who needs scores for college admission or certification in a professional field.

Founded in 1947, ETS develops, administers and scores more than 50 million tests annually — including the TOEFL® and TOEIC® tests, the GRE® General and Subject Tests and The Praxis Series™ assessments — in more than 180 countries, and at over 9,000 locations worldwide.
