Brief Presentation and Overview<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/en\/exam\/toeic\">The TOEIC<\/a>, or the <em>Test Of English for International Communication<\/em> is an exam aimed at both students and executives. It can be required as part of a student&rsquo;s academic journey (e.g. to apply for a Master&rsquo;s degree) or by an employer, for recruitment purposes or as part of the career of a future employee. While the TOEFL assesses <strong>academic English<\/strong>, the TOEIC evaluates <strong>professional English<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The TOEIC exam lasts <strong>2 hours<\/strong>. It only tests candidates&rsquo; <strong>listening and reading<\/strong> skills. This is the main reason why the TOEIC is considered easier than the TOEFL. The final mark (between <strong>5 and 990<\/strong>) evaluates whether a candidate is able to understand an English workplace environment. Unlike the TOEFL, the TOEIC exercises only address workplace themes. No technical prerequisites are demanded.<\/p>\n<p>There are multiple ways<a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/how-to-register-for-toeic\/\"> to register for the TOEIC<\/a>, and you can also check <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/toeic-prices-current-tariffs\/\">the prices before<\/a> registering. You should also keep in mind that the test has a limited\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/how-long-are-the-toefl-toeic-and-hsk-certificates-valid-for\/\">validity.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-54284\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark.jpg\" alt=\"question mark drawn on a blackboard\" width=\"400\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-200x121.jpg 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-400x242.jpg 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-600x363.jpg 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-768x464.jpg 768w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-800x484.jpg 800w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-1024x619.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-1200x726.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What Is the TOEFL Exam? General Presentation and Overview<\/h2>\n<p><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The TOEFL <\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">or the <\/span><em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Test Of English as a Foreign Language<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"> is an exam mainly aimed at <strong>students<\/strong>. They usually have to take the test as part of a student exchange or so that they can study abroad, mainly (but not only!) in English-speaking countries. This test can also be required by a Mexican or Chinese university willing to make sure that their future student has a sufficient English level to enroll in a given degree program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The TOEFL exam lasts about <strong>4 hours<\/strong>. It tests the candidates&rsquo; ability to<strong> understand, speak and write<\/strong> in academic English. The final mark (between <strong>0 and 120<\/strong>) determines whether a candidate would be able to take academic courses in English. The TOEFL exercises only address topics relating to university life: taught subjects (history, sociology, sciences, etc.) but also students&rsquo; everyday life (discussion with course mates or lecturers on topics such as the organisation of courses, campus life, etc.) No technical vocabulary is required.<\/p>\n<h2>For What Reasons Should You Consider Taking the TOEIC Exam?<\/h2>\n<p>The TOEIC is one of the most well-known English proficiency certificates around. It\u2019s generally <strong>aimed towards non-native speakers looking to enter the English-speaking world of work<\/strong>, although it is widely accepted as a general certificate of proficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Most typically, <strong>the TOEIC is a two-part exam composed of two sections: Listening and Reading<\/strong>. However, two other versions of the TOEIC exist: TOEIC Speaking; and the TOEIC Bridge (aimed towards lower-level students).<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s quickly recap the format and<strong> key information about the classic TOEIC test<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Composed of <strong>200 multiple-choice questions<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Two sections<\/strong>: Listening and Reading;<\/li>\n<li>Duration of 120 minutes;<\/li>\n<li>Multiple tests throughout the year;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Individual score<\/strong> on 10-990 scale;<\/li>\n<li>Score turnaround in 3-5 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Advantages and disadvantages<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to assessing the advantages and disadvantages of the TOEIC test, it\u2019s important to <strong>look at it from your perspective as the test taker<\/strong>. Ask yourself:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is the TOEIC accepted by <strong>my target institutions\/companies<\/strong>?<\/li>\n<li>Is the TOEIC the most appropriate test for <strong>my academic\/professional objectives<\/strong>?<\/li>\n<li>Can I access a TOEIC test in the appropriate location and timeframe?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve answered these questions, it will be much easier to tackle the TOEIC vs TOEFL conundrum. Now, <strong>let\u2019s consider some advantages and disadvantages<\/strong> in light of your answers to those questions.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a business or economics student targeting a role in an international company, a key advantage of the TOEIC test is <strong>its focus on business and workplace English<\/strong>. The test seeks to target business vocabulary and to prepare students for dealing with workplace conversations, meetings, and professional communications. On the other hand, this<strong> may be a disadvantage if you have a different objective,<\/strong> such as studying abroad in an arts programme.<\/p>\n<p>A possible disadvantage of the TOEIC test is that it is <strong>not quite as widely accepted as proof of English proficiency as other tests<\/strong> such as the IELTS and the TOEFL, which test a wider variety of skills and are less focused on business English. If you are using the TOEIC to apply to a university or degree programme without a business or economics focus, you should <strong>first check that they will accept a TOEIC score<\/strong> as adequate proof of your English proficiency.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Precisely Should You Choose to Take the TOEFL Exam?<\/h2>\n<p>The TOEFL is another well-regarded English proficiency test, aimed more specifically at <strong>non-native speakers pursuing university-level study. <\/strong>The test is <strong>quite different in style and aims to the TOEIC<\/strong>, but let\u2019s start by <strong>recapping the TOEFL\u2019s key features<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Composed <strong>of 140 multiple-choice questions<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Three sections<\/strong>: Listening, Reading, and Structure &amp; Written Expression;<\/li>\n<li>Duration of 115 minutes;<\/li>\n<li>Multiple tests throughout the year;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Individual score<\/strong> on 310-677 scale;<\/li>\n<li>Score turnaround in 3-5 days (or 7 days in the US).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Advantages and disadvantages<\/h3>\n<p>With a better understanding of how the TOEIC vs TOEFL question compares in terms of key features, let&rsquo;s consider <strong>the TOEFL\u2019s advantages and disadvantages<\/strong> more specifically.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, <strong>the TOEFL is designed to test your English proficiency in an academic context<\/strong>, making it an ideal test for proving your ability to understand and express yourself in writing over the course of an academic programme. If you\u2019re applying to an English-speaking university programme or looking to study abroad, <strong>the TOEFL will give university admissions teams a very clear idea<\/strong> of your level and the appropriateness of an English study programme.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, if you\u2019re targeting an international company and more interested in <strong>demonstrating your workplace English<\/strong>, the TOEFL \u2013 though still a good test \u2013 is less specific to this purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage of the TOEFL is <strong>the breadth of its skills testing<\/strong>. As well as testing your listening and reading comprehension like the TOEIC, it also incorporates a third section <strong>that tests your written expression (grammar and structure)<\/strong>. If your future university or employer is interested in this skill, the TOEFL could be the right choice. Alternatively, if written expression isn\u2019t your strong point, you may get a higher score in the TOEIC.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-54285\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-on-a-paper-e1626085194734.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-on-a-paper-e1626085194734-66x66.jpg 66w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-on-a-paper-e1626085194734-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-on-a-paper-e1626085194734-200x199.jpg 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-on-a-paper-e1626085194734-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-on-a-paper-e1626085194734-400x398.jpg 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-on-a-paper-e1626085194734-600x598.jpg 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-on-a-paper-e1626085194734-768x765.jpg 768w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-on-a-paper-e1626085194734-800x797.jpg 800w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-on-a-paper-e1626085194734-1024x1020.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-on-a-paper-e1626085194734-1200x1195.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/question-mark-on-a-paper-e1626085194734.jpg 1279w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>TOEIC vs TOEFL: What Are the Main Differences Between Them?<\/h2>\n<p>Very often, the candidate must take either the TOEIC or the TOEFL.
