What is TOEFL?


TOEFL is short for Test of English as a Foreign Language and is the most widely accepted English language test in the world. It measures your ability to communicate in English in colleges and universities.
All skills which are necessary for an effective communication will be tested. Therefore, the test consists of four parts: speaking, listening, reading and writing. You can take the Internet-based Test or the Paper-based Test. The internet-based test looks like this:
- Reading skills: 60-100 minutes / 36-70 questions
- Listening skills: 60-90 minutes / 34-51 questions
- Speaking skills: 20 minutes / 6 tasks
- Writing skills: 50 minutes / 2 tasks

In every part you can get a maximum score of 30. So in total, the maximum score of the TOEFL exam  is 120. There is no minimum score in order to pass, the score is only meant to reflect the level of your skills. After the exam you will receive a certificate with your score.
A student with an average knowledge of English, usually scores an average of 52 on the TOEFL. Students which are more advanced, usually score around 105.  If you would like to improve your level from average to advanced, we advise you to take a preparation language course of 12 weeks.
The TOEFL scores remain valid for up to 2 years after the examination date. 

Why a TOEFL course?

 Many universities in English-speaking countries such as the United States and Canada require foreign students to have a certain score on the TOEFL exam. Also for jobs at cultural or government institutions a certain score is required. If your score is not sufficient or you do not have any at all, you will not be allowed to attend these institutions. The required score differs per institution.
