The TOEFL iBT test measures your ability to use and understand English at the university level. And it evaluates how well you combine your listening, reading, speaking and writing skills to perform academic tasks. There are two formats for the TOEFL® test. The format you take depends on the location of your test center. Most test takers take the TOEFL iBT test. Test centers that do not have Internet access offer the Paper-based Test (PBT).
People from all over the world have taken the TOEFL test to demonstrate their English-language proficiency. Broadly, the test is taken by students planning to study at a higher education institution, scholarship and certification candidates, English-language learners who want to track their progress and students and workers applying for visas.
