Course Overview

What is TOEFL?

The TOEFL is used as evidence of English proficiency for admission to many US and Canada universities, as well as for migration purposes for Australia and New Zealand.

The 4-hour test consists of four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing.

The test is 3 hours long and all test sections (Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing) can be taken on the same day.

Offered between March and the following February, although candidates may only sit once every 12-months.

The TOEFL iBT score ranges between 0 and 120 and our students score an average of 105 which places them in the 80th percentile.
