Created and offered by ETS, the TOEFL iBT® and TOEFL® Essentials™ tests are English language proficiency assessments often required for admission by English-speaking universities and programs around the world. The exams provide admissions officers an accurate measure of a student’s ability to use and understand the English language in the university classroom. To date, scores from the widely respected TOEFL iBT test have helped millions of students worldwide achieve their dream of studying abroad at more than 12,000 universities and other institutions in over 160 countries including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and across Europe and Asia.
