The official guide to the TOEFL test | An introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The TOEFL<\/a> test is developed and administered by ETS (Educational Testing Service), a non-profit educational organization. Since its inception in 1964, the TOEFL has been taken by over 27 million international students applying to universities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and other countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost all students now take the TOEFL online<\/a>, which is known as the internet-based test, or iBT. Paper-based TOEFL (PBT) tests are being phased out and are only available in countries where internet testing is unavailable. The iBT is administered in two parts: a 60-80 minute reading section and a 60-90 minute listening section. The test-takers are then given a 10-minute break. The TOEFL<\/a> iBT examination concludes with 20-minute speaking and 50-minute writing sections. Thus, the exam is about four hours long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
