About TOEFL
The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is a standardized test designed to measure the English language proficiency of non-native English speakers who want to enroll in English-speaking universities or other academic institutions. The test evaluates four skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
If you are planning to study abroad, especially in an English-speaking country, you may need to take the TOEFL test as part of the application process. Many universities and colleges in the United States, Canada, and other English-speaking countries require TOEFL scores for admission.
To prepare for the TOEFL test, you can find study materials online, take practice tests, and consider enrolling in a TOEFL preparation course. It is important to familiarize yourself with the test format and question types, as well as practice your English language skills.
When you are ready to take the TOEFL test, you can register online and choose a test center and date. The TOEFL test is offered in many countries around the world and is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS).
Good luck with your TOEFL preparation and your plans to study abroad!
