T.O.E.F.L. stands for Test Of English as a Foreign Language.
The TOEFL is a test used to determine if a non-native English speaker is ready to study at the university level in a Western university. TOEFL was created by ETS (Educational Testing Service) in 1964. More than 25 million people have taken the TOEFL test in its near 50 year history.
The language used in the TOEFL test reflects real-life English-language usage in university lectures, classes, and labs. The language used in the TOEFL test is the same language used by professors when they discuss coursework or concepts with their students. It is also the language used in study groups and other everyday university situations.
Reading passages in the TOEFL test are taken from real university textbooks and course materials.
The TOEFL test not only measures knowledge of the English language, but how well students use English. With unbiased scoring, the TOEFL test confirms that a student has the English language he will need to succeed at a Western university.
More than 6,000 colleges, universities, and agencies in 130 countries rely on TOEFL scores. A good score on the TOEFL test is very important for Arab students coming from Jeddah or other cities in Saudi Arabia.
The TOEFL test consists of four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. Each section has 30 possible points, so the entire TOEFL test is scored out of 120 points. There is no official failing grade, however, each university may require a certain level of success on the TOEFL exam before a student can be accepted.
The TOEFL test in Saudi Arabia costs $215. Registration for the TOEFL is done online, typically about two months before the actual test date. The TOEFL test takes about four hours. In Saudi Arabia, it is usually scheduled on a Saturday or a Sunday at 10:00 a.m.
