TOEFL Test Details and Scoring Method

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is a test that evaluates non-native English speakers’ ability to read, write, speak, and listen to English in a similar way that it is used in universities.

The test is divided into four sections that integrate all four of these English language skills:

    * Reading: 60 minutes, 3 passages, 12-14 questions per passage
    * Listening: Up to 60 minutes, up to 72 questions
    * Speaking: 6 tasks with 15-30 seconds to prepare and 45-60 seconds to speak
    * Writing: 50 minutes, 2 writing tasks

TOEFL Scoring

Your composite (or overall) TOEFL score will range from 0 to 120 and is calculated by combining your scores on each of the four sections.

The individual sections are graded separately. You will receive four scores ranging from 0 to 30: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing.

TOEFL scores vary in importance at different schools. Other factors that schools consider include academics, work experience, letters of reference, and scores on other standardized tests (GMAT, SAT, etc.).Check here for toefl practice test and free toefl test.You can also practice toefl online for free
