Work hard and try your best, ok? Never give up! Always ask your teacher about things you do not know.  At least you are trying to communicate, and that is a very important step.  Keep trying and your writing will get better.  Trust me, I know.  I used to hate writing, because I did not know if I was making any sense to anyone else or if I was spelling words correctly.  I started writing in a journal every day (a notebook is a good first journal) and my writing got better.  Get an "easy to use" dictionary to help you with words you don't know how to spell or are unsure of how to spell (spell check is the sissy/lazy way out!).  I became an English teacher, so it just goes to show you that "practice makes perfect"!

Depends in what country you are taking the test. Not a good idea in the U.S....too many whistle blowers. Didn't you guys know that unity is power?? Oh well, I give up!

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

The way you wrote this question indicates your grasp of the English language is not sufficient for teaching.  Have you done any research at all?  TOEFL (TEST of English as a Foreign Language) is a TEST, like the SAT or the GRE.  It doesn't have anything to do with teaching.\n\nThe advantages of getting a certificate are that EVERY decent school requires one.  Unless you want to work for the worst boss in the worst conditions for the worst pay you'll need to obtain a certificate.  Also, for someone like yourself who may have difficulty communicating in English, getting a certificate proves that you have an acceptable grasp of the English language AND the basic skills needed to teach it.  Online certificates aren't worth the paper they're printed on.  You need a certificate program that is at least 120 hours and includes real-life supervised teaching practice with real students.\n\n"He ate cake."\n"He has eaten cake."\n\nCan you describe the differences in meaning and form of those two sentences?  Can you describe the situations in which one would be appropriate but the other wouldn't?  This is the kind of thing you would teach to LOWER-INTERMEDIATE students.  Post your answer (proving you have a decent grasp of basic structures in the English language) and I'll edit my answer to give you more info about the certification process.

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.

Short Answer:\nE-mail ETS:  toefl@ets.org\n  (they e-mail back in about 1 week)\n  (sending postal mail to Iraq can be difficult, now)\n  (try to have it delivered to more stable delivery area)\n\nif TOEFL for job/school outside Iraq:\n  order official score report by credit-card at: 1-609-771-7267\n  . . . (to send straight to job/school)\n\n\nLonger Explanation:\n\nYour official scores will be mailed from the United States about two weeks after the test if you type your essay or five weeks if you handwrite your essay.  Please allow time for them to arrive by international mail.\n\nIf you need score reports to be sent to additional institutions, please complete the form in the TOEFL bulletin and return it with payment to ETS.  If paying by credit card, you may also call ETS at (609) 771-7267 to order additional score reports.  Scores are valid for two years.\n\nQuestions about any missing score reports should be directed to Educational Testing Service (ETS), the nonprofit organization that develops TOEFL and issues score reports.  An e-mail sent to the ETS customer service address—toefl@ets.org—usually will receive a response in five to seven days.  Test takers should wait at least eight weeks before contacting ETS about score reports.  Score report problems are best avoided by careful preparation of the registration form: writing name and mailing address clearly and following payment procedures detailed in the TOEFL bulletin.\n\n\nTo read more about this see:\nhttp://www.amideast.org/testing/jordan/services_information_students_professionals/toefl.htm#scores\nhttp://www.amideast.org/programs_services/testing/jordan/services_information_students_professionals/faqs.htm\n\n\nNote:\nYou seemed to have asked this question 2x\n(here and at: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApcJ1omV2zsA6_EvK4QSc_Xzy6IX?qid=1006050103537 )\nYou probably double clicked by mistake\n\nI've answered both\n(in case your search for an answer, later only brings up one of them)

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:.

TOEFL acceptance or non-acceptance is up to the individual schools. Not all schools accept it for various reasons. Some do not have have provision for foreign students. That should not discourage you. It will be good to inquire from schools from the on set what their criteria for foreign students are. Shop around for schools that accept TOEFL. Schools in States are autonomous and independent to pursue what they set out in their vision. Above all, do not be discouraged, if your interest is schools in the States, go to any American consulate or embassy and ask for college lists.

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.
