TOEFL Class Overview
TOEFL iBT is an English language proficiency test that is administered by the ETS via the internet to students opting to study in English speaking countries. TOEFL is a requirement for university admissions in USA and other English-speaking countries to meet the English language proficiency requirement. The requirements differ from one university/program to another. Please make sure you check the admission requirements before you apply
Taking TOEFL practice tests is an excellent way to improve your score. Practice tests are essential in getting a feel for the TOEFL test format and the testing environment. You should spend as much time speaking English as possible and immersing yourself in the culture. Make sure you’re practicing note-taking as well. It is vital to have an uncluttered mind before taking the test. Most students get stressed the day before, so it’s imperative to relax and clear your mind.
Score Scale
The TOEFL iBT test is scored on a scale of 0 to 120 points. Each of the four sections (Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing) receives a scaled score from 0 to 30. The scaled scores from the four sections are added together to determine the total score.

THE TOEFL TEST STRUCTURE
READING:
The reading section consists of 3-5 long passages and questions about the passages. Students answer questions about main ideas, details, inferences, sentence re-statements, sentence insertion, vocabulary, function and overall ideas. New types of questions in the iBT require paraphrasing, filling out the tables, or completing summaries. Generally, prior knowledge of the subject under discussion is not necessary to come to the correct answer, though a prior knowledge may help.
LISTENING:
It consists of six long passages and questions about the passages. The passages consist of two student conversations and four academic lectures or discussions. The questions ask the students to determine the main ideas, details, function, stance, inferences, and overall organization.
SPEAKING:
It consists of six tasks, two independent tasks and four integrated tasks. In the two independent tasks, students must answer opinion questions about some aspects of academic life. In two integrated reading, listening, and speaking tasks, the student must listen to passages and then Summarize and offer opinions on the information in the passages. Test takers are expected to convey information, explain ideas, and defend opinions clearly, coherently, and accurately.
