Our TOEFL Offering
Many universities abroad seek your TOEFL scores as part of their admission process (along with other test scores such as GRE, GMAT, or SAT). So, what is TOEFL? TOEFL stands for Test of English as a Foreign Language and is one of the most popular English language tests globally.It is oftena prerequisite for admission into a graduate or postgraduate course abroad. It is designed to measure the English proficiency of people whose native language is not English.
TOEFL wasfounded in 1962when a national council on the testing of English as a foreign language was formed in the United States. The council had to design a test for non-native speakers of English who wished to study at colleges and universities there. The first test was administered in 1964. The TOEFL Board was created in 1973, and the current board members come from Australia, China, Ecuador, Canada, Scotland, Spain, and the United States.
Over the years, the test has seen several iterations. It was initially a paper-based test with five sections. The computer-based test was introduced in 1998, and in September 2005, the current internet-based test (iBT) was introduced. The paper-delivered test is still available where the internet test is not and does not include the Speaking test.
It is important to understand the TOEFL test and prepare for it well since your scores play a crucial role in the admission process.

Anyone who seeks to pursue a course in universities in English speaking countries can take the test. There is no age limit or minimum educational qualification . There are no limits to the number of times you can take the test; however, there needs to be a three-day gap between two attempts.
To register for a TOEFL test, you need to first set up an account with the Educational Testing Service (ETS), which conducts the TOEFL exam. During the registration, you will need to enter personal details such as your name, date of birth, email ID, and mobile number.
TOEFL only accepts a valid passport as the primary ID, which you need to present at the test centre. The spelling of your name in your registration should match the one on your passport. If the names don't match, you won't be able to take the test, and your test fee won't be refunded.
Once you have created a profile, log in and go to the TOEFL homepage, where there is an option to 'Register/Find Test Centres'.
Choose between the Test Centre and Home Edition.
Next, you must choose the dateon which you would like to give the test. Universities expect to get the TOEFL test scores before the admissions process. Make sure you know the date by when you must submit the scores, and plan accordingly.
Pick a test date that's at least 2 to 3 months before your earliest deadline.Do not leave the test for the last minute.
Once you select the months and the city, you will be presented with a calendar with the test dates and the venues. The time of the test will be mentioned with each venue.
In the case of multiple test centres, choose the one which offers convenient time slots and is easier to reach.
If you choose the Home Edition, you will get a similar calendar with the available dates. However, a key difference is that there are multiple time options throughout the day. Since you are taking the test at home, choose a time when you will not have any interruptions or disturbances.
After selecting the date and venue (or the date and time slot for the Home Edition), you can proceed to register and pay for the test.
You can register up to seven days before any test date, after which you will need to pay a late registration fee to book a slot.
Slots fill up quickly. Hence, it is wise to register approximately four months before your desired test date.

The TOEFL test has four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. The exam is structured and designed to test your proficiency in English used in an academic setting.
The total duration of the test is 3 hours. In 2019, the test duration was reduced by 30 minutes from 3.5 hours.
Each section is designed to test one aspect of your proficiency in English.
Here's a snapshot of the four sections:
Reading:
You will get around 3-4 passages that are about 700 words long. The passages will test your ability to contrast and compare arguments or points made in the text. Each passage will have 10 questions. Time: 54-72 minutes.
Listening:
The section will have 3-4 lectures, which may include a classroom discussion. Each lecture will be around 3-5 minutes long and have six questions. You will also be given 2-3 conversations to listen to, each three minutes long with five questions to answer. You will be tested on comprehension and your ability to understand the key themes, ideas, arguments, or points discussed. Time: 41-57 minutes.
Speaking:
You will need to talk into the computer's microphone either at the test centre or at home. You will be given four tasks in this section. The first task is called an"independent speaking task" to express an opinion on a familiar topic. Tasks 2, 3 and 4 are called "integrated speaking tasks", which require you to combine your listening, reading and speaking skills.
Task 1: You will be given a topic to speak about with no additional material. You will have 15 seconds to prepare and 45 seconds to speak.
Task 2: You will be given a passage to read and asked to listen to a discussion about that passage. You will then be given 30 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to speak the answer.
Tasks 3: You will be given a passage to read, and you will listen to a lecture on the same subject. You have 30 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to speak the answer.
Task 4: You will be given a lecture to listen after which 20 seconds to prepare. You will have 60 seconds to speak about the lecture. This is a challenging section. It is the shortest of the four, and it requires you to be clear and coherent. If you are giving this test from home, make sure your mic is working properly. You will be graded on your delivery and ability to develop a topic. Time: 17 minutes.
Writing:
You will be asked to write two essays, where you will be tested on your ability to develop and organise arguments supported by explanations.
The two tasks include:
An integrated task: You will be given a short passage to read, and you will be asked to listen to a short lecture on the same topic. After this, you will have 20 minutes to type the response which should typically be between 150 to 225 words long.
An independent task: You are given a question, and you have 30 minutes to type your answer. The question will ask your opinion on a topic or an issue. You will need to proved reasons and examples to support your opinion. There is no maximum word limit for the answer, but a good response is expected to be at least 300 words long. Time: 50 minutes.

Since it's a computer-based examination, you will need to type out your Writing section essays. If you are not comfortable at typing, we recommend you practice typing to improve your speed.
Listening requires a high degree of attention and note-taking ability. You need to train your ears for the same.
Speaking is another area which requires practice. It would be best to speak clearly and put forth your points or views coherently within the available time.
Remember that you will be speaking into a mic and not with an actual person. This may also take some time to get used to as we subconsciously look for cues and reactions from the person with whom we are speaking.
Read your Writing questions properly. It does not matter how well you have written your essay if you fail to understand the task.
