What is TOEFL iBT?

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) internet-based test (iBT) is a standard test to measure the English language ability of non-native speakers wishing to enroll in English-speaking universities.

The test is primarily accepted by American and Canadian institutions, making it the most preferred test if your ultimate destination is the United States. The TOEFL specifically focuses on how English is used in an academic classroom environment, combining skills (integrated tasks) like reading a passage, listening to a lecture, and then speaking or writing a response.
