When I have applied they always seem to want it. I do believe that if you are coming straight from that country you will need it. If you have been attending school here I do not think it is needed.

If you were in 12th grade, you will probably have to do 11th and 12th grade here, focusing on language arts and social studies. You may have to take math and science classes, but probably can take advanced classes that will look good on your transcript when you apply for college. Because you are already fluent in another language, you can probably have that requirement waived. I would suggest replacing the foreign language requirement, and filling your elective slots, with extra American History, Government, and/or English/Communication classes, to help build your skills for college enterance exams.

The new Toefl is called IBT - Internet based test and it includes speaking section which used to be seperate previosly. \nI got 115/120. It was easy. I was most worried about the speaking section. But, the thing to do is speak slowly and clearly. (indians speak very fast). The reviews (human reviewer, not computer) need to follow and understand what you say and assess the relevance. Don't try to put on american accent. Speak how you speak normally. \nFor the Internet-based test, you will receive four section scores and\na total score:\nReading (0-30)\nListening (0-30)\nSpeaking (0-30)\nWriting (0-30)\nTotal Score (0-120)\nGood luck in the exam.

You need to give the TOEFL.\nSAT is required for UG students, but I guess that doesnt apply to you.

I find the Longman books good, but you have to buy a lot of them--a book and then an answer book and then the CDs and then this and that--I inderstand it's even worse for the IBT than it was for previous TOEFL types. But they're very thorough and cover "life" as well as the TOEFL.\n\nFor the TOEFL alone, I recommend the Princeton Review book. You could combine that with a more general ESL book--I recommend The Advanced Grammar Book (sorry, don't have the authors' names), but judging by the errors in your question, it may be above your level. (THE best course/"for both life" could be better expressed/you TAKE a test rather than "get" one) Of course, it's just one question and doesn't really tell me much about your English proficiency.

I have answered many similar questions but to be brief, IELTS tests on the English worldwide with less linguistic bias than TOEFL, provincially focused on North American English. IELTS comes in academic and professional flavours.\n\nIt is difficult to tell which exam is easier (for individual prospective candidates :I ), but use the differences as explained above and answers to other similar questions to your advantage.

You should need IELTS or TOEFFEL (they are english ability exams.) \n\nOther qualifications depends on ur particular profession.

Colleges look at more than the SAT or ACT score. They will also want to look at your gpa and if you've taken college prep classes in high school. The ACT composite is what many colleges with use. And an 18 isn't great, but if you have an acceptable gpa you can still get into college. Your math score indicates that you can thrive in the English language environment, and college admissions officers will note that.\n\nI think you should talk to your counselor about taking the TOEFL that's the SAT when English is not your native language. Many colleges will prefer that for students who were not born English language speakers.\n\nGood luck!

I think most universities in native English-speaking countries require students from non-English speaking countries to take a TOEFL or TOEIC test. The Philippines is considered a non-English speaking country.

You'll need to score well on the TOEFL.

Let me assume that you are asking why are the I20s not coming. For one thing, you need to confirm your placement in the university. TOEFL itself is just one of the prerequisites to obtaining the I20s. However, you will also need:\n\n(1) Health Insurance -- some unis require students to purchase health insurance from them.\n\n(2) Affidavit of Financial Support -- this is a prerequisite for all American colleges & unis; you need to show them that you have enough money in the bank to support your one year's living costs & tuition fees (averaged around USD 21,000). Either that, or produce written proof that you're under scholarship. Refer to your university/college site to obtain the form.\n\nThere are a few others, but it is mainly the two factors above. It is always better to check with the administration & international student centre of your future college/university. Hope that helped.

You be the judge, I'm Mexican I have never taken English lessons (only in high school but only the usual stuff, my pencil is red, my house is green...) and I scored 610 points in TOEFL.\nI'm certain that TOEFL is an excellent tool to measure a person's capacity to speak English.

Which country are you from and where do you want to go?\n\nIf you wish to go to an English speaking country, then you will need to do the TOEFL English course first.\n\nThere are no cheap universities. They all cost the same more or less. It's a case of which one you think will give you want you are paying for.

I can answer question 3 and half of question 2:\n\nYou'd likely need at least 95 on the iBT TOEFL. TOEFL scores are valid for two years and GRE for 5.
