What is TOEFL like?

TOEFL is an exam that verifies a person’s English language proficiency. Usually, students or other people at the CEFR B1 – C1 levels take TOEFL in order to provide internationally accepted proof of their English skills. Around the world, TOEFL is accepted by universities, institutions and companies as an official language certificate.

A brief outline of the TOEFL format

The internet-based version of the test (TOEFL iBT) includes the four main language skills. That is speaking, reading, listening and writing. The paper-based version of the test does not include a speaking component. All four examination sections are conducted at the same place and on the same day. Below is an outline of the test sections and times.

  • Reading section: 60-100 minutes. It will have three to five reading passages, containing 12-14 questions each.
  • Listening section: 60-90 minutes. It will have six to nine listening passages, containing 5-6 questions each.
  • Speaking section: 20 minutes. There are six spoken tasks to do. Note: not on the paper-based version.
  • Writing section: 50 minutes. It has two tasks that a test candidate needs to do. There are two tasks: integrated writing and independent writing. Integrated writing involves taking notes, summarizing and organizing information from a reading and a short lecture. The independent task consists of an essay of 300 words, related to a given question.

Registering for TOEFL

Registration for the test is handled by ETS via their website. Be aware that the application deadline ends eight days before the chosen exam date. ETS suggests that candidates register as early as possible since exams are typically fully booked a few weeks in advance of a test date.
