Apparently a good TOEFL score (in addition to the GRE score) increases your chance of getting an aided admission into good Universities and also easier way through the VISA desk.\n\nThough other aspects like Recommendations etc play a part in this process, the TOEFL score always tips the scale in your favour.\n\nI feel that merely getting an admission into an university in US is not the final thing. The method of education in US is radically different from what you have gone through till now. It would be to your disadvantage that if your command over the English language is not average, let alone at par.\n\nSo first get yourself trained in the written and spoken courses. As you can see your question itself leaves a lot to be desired and tell you where you need to work on.\n\nAll the best.\n\n.:Fishie:.\n\n.:Fishie:.

You will first need to go to the Embassy for the UK in your own country, and ask about universities and procedures.\n\nFirst you must take the TOEFL exam and the SAT, and then apply to a university.  *After* you are accepted to a university, the university will send you a Visa application.  \n\nUnless you are very confident in your ability to score near 100% on both the TOEFL English and SAT academic exams, or you have a lot of money that you can't spend; then it's not very much worth it.  The UK is very particular about accepting applicants and requires the highest standards.  If you have not scored in the highest percentile, you will spend your money on exams, applications for university, and student Visa for nothing.\n\nBe careful in what you decide!

It depends on how much money you make and what you can contribute to the country.  It would be a lot easier to get into the US on a student visa than a work visa unless you work for an American company that is willing and able to transfer you.

The TOEFL website has practice tests and tips to help you prepare for it.  I also hear that the Kaplan TOEFL iBT book is really great to help prepare.

I'm not sure what a Toefl is i'm assuming its compairable to the SAT or ACT.  Get into top US colleges your going to want to have at least a 12,000 on the SAT\nand a 3.5 GPA (4. scale)

oh my god you have 99% that's really good, I'm in 11th grade now (tania sanawi) and my examination is about to begin I wish I could get 90%, do you have any tips?\nI don't think you can find a cheap school in the USA, they're all expensive,\nbut that is not a problem you could work while studying, my brother is doing that now he's in Texas and he applied to an English course in the US and he got accepted now he's working and studying English as a preparation for a masters degree in engineering

Its not, unless your going for top 10% or honor student so you have a better chance at scholarships.  If you just want to pass, then it doesn't really matter.  Its good practice for when you get into college (when it does matter), but other then that I wouldn't worry so long as your not in danger of failing.

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.

You need a reason to get a visa to come to the US. Go to the US EMbassy.

You might want to inquire at the U.S. embassy. There is a real need for Arabic speakers in the military and in the government. Your fluency in these three languages would be an invaluable asset to the government. Since you have a skill (i.e., Arabic language) you would have an easier job of getting a visa than other immigrants who don't have that "in-demand" skill. I think you should forget about the student visa and apply for a work visa. Talk to the Embassy people about that and highlight your Arabic fluency as a special "in demand" skill.

First of all it is TOEFL which means Test of English as a Foreign Language. Now would like to know where you are basically from and why do you want to take TOEFL? \n\nIf you intend to study in US or Canada then it is the right decision. You should study before taking the test, here in North America the paper based test is gone and now you can only appear for TOEFL iBT. Detailed Information about TOEFL can be obtained from. www.ets.org.

If you get caught you will be deported and your visa status revoked.  I advise you to seek employment on your school campus, this is the only form of employment INS will accept for F-1 students.  Please re think your choice, iI know it is hard being an International student and not working or working part-time, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

Most of the universities require at least 212 on a computer based test.\nBetter ones ask for atleast 250.\nSome also consider a score of 200.\nThe importance of TOEFL is decided by the program of your choice. If you are applying to a English language program then certainly TOEFL score plays an important part.\nPlease keep in mind that TOEFL is not the only deciding factor for an admission decision.However it allows your application to pass the initial screening.\n\nYou will appreciate this better if you know as to how your application is processed.\n\nADMISSION PROCESS\n \nAdmission process is not a mathematical formula where you input certain things and the output is a forgone conclusion.\nWhen we advice that certain norms should be observed while applying it only implies that from experience we have observed that the probability of admission increases if one adheres to them.\n \nAdmission process involves:\n \n1. Certain Objective Factors\n2. And some Subjective Ones\n3. Lastly university's admission environment  at the time of your applying.\n \nThe objective ones are your GPA,GRE/SAT and TOEFL scores.To this I will also add your selection of the university or program compatible to  your credentials.\nThe subjective factors are SOP, recommendations.\nBoth of the above are explained in detail in my earlier mails i this forum.\n \nThe 3rd factor of Univs admission environment is explained here.This can be understood by citing some examples.\nThere are times when a student with top class credentials is rejected by a university like Kent State University but he is accepted by NCSU or CMU.Why?This can be understood if you view this from each university's perspective.\nWhat does a university take in consideration while deciding about an application?\nNow again there are factors which are\n \nA.Apparent\nB.Hidden Agenda\n \nA. The Apparent Factors are 1 and 2 stated above and these are the ones which the university states when asked.The web sites of the universities will tell you what minimum GPA or GRE or TOEFL scores they need. They will also tell you about the SOP and Recos but will never tell about their hidden agenda.\n \nB. What is the Hidden Agenda? \nUniversities will like to have a diversified community they will never like to have all or majority of students from the same geographical region or economical standing.\nA university may be cash strap and may have decided to cut down on recruitment of students.\nThere may not be a professor available or willing to take you under him.This means either your type of research is not being carried out or the professor who is conducting it is not accepting  additional students. \nLastly what is the competition saying? If there are students having a better match with the universities requirements then your candidature shall be overlooked.This competitive position is not static so it will change each year.You may be rejected one year but may be offered admission next year.\n \nThus you will see that admission process like any thing in life is neither a science so that it be governed by a mathematical formula nor it is an art.I feel that it is an art of using science to help you.\n \nGood Luck\nNBS
