TOEFL Preparation Course

30 Hours + Practice test (including materials)

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) measures a non-native English speaker’s communication ability and is most commonly used by high school, undergraduate and graduate admissions offices in the United States.

Who should take the TOEFL?

Students who have received their education in non-English speaking countries are often required to demonstrate an acceptable level of English proficiency on the TOEFL in order to be considered for admission to American colleges and universities.

How the TOEFL works?

The new TOEFL iBT tests integrated skills, and provides more accurate information than ever before regarding a test taker’s ability to communicate in an academic setting. Internet-based testing captures speaking and writing responses, and transmits them to human raters for evaluation and scoring. Score reports include each skill section’s score and a total score that is the sum of the scores of all 4 sections of the exam (0–120).

Section	Length	Question Types
Reading	60-100 Minutes	36-70 Multiple-Choice / Drag and drop
Listening	60-90 Minutes	34-51 Multiple-Choice
Speaking	20 Minutes	2 based on topics of general interest/personal experience 2 based on synthesis of a reading and a listening passage 2 based on a listening passage or conversation
Writing	50 Minutes	1 based on topics of general interest/personal experience 1 based on synthesis of a reading and a listening passage
