about new pattern of toefl exam?

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.

IELTS is an established benchmark for English language proficiency, particularly within the Commonwealth. It tests on English as spoken in the Anglophonic world and is less biased than TOEFL, focussed provincially on English as spoken in US and Canada. Recognition of IELTS is increasing even in US and Canada, and it is supplanting TOEFL as a benchmark elsewhere.\n\nIELTS comes in two flavours: One is education-oriented. It is recommended for university admission at under- or post-graduate level. The other is profession-oriented. Apart from professional training, it is useful for immigration purposes.\n\nOn this test you are rated on the scale from 0 to 9, in 0.5 increments.\n\nSee other answers on IELTS, including my answers to other related questions.

Unforunately you will ot find any free TOEFL course anywhere. Not even online. Been there done that, I tried! I finally broke down and took the course, a whopping one thousand dollars, but it was so worth it. Trust me, you wont regret it, and its an investement in your money making future.

You will be required to take the TOEFL or IELTS exams to prove proficiency in English, then you'd require exams like SATs, GRE etc depending on whether you're applying for Undergraduate or Postgraduate courses, then you would be reuqired to fill in the application forms which require some subjective questions to be answered, a self written essay, recommendations from teachers or professors, statements of your Boards' results or previous results and current standings in your institute. And alottttt of money honey..

The best way is to study for it. Even if you are a native english speaker. It may sound strange, but to study in foreign countries where english is the language you still have to take the TOEFL. There are many good study guides available. Get one from your local book store. Also, it is a good idea to read for 30 minutes a day in english. Then, write one page about what you have read.

TOEFL Score Interpretation\n\nD.W. McKeon, Director, ESL & GTA Training Programs \n\nExecutive Summary \nI. Introduction\nII. Overall Scores and Subscores \nIII. Other Factors Affecting TOEFL Scores \nIV. The Old GRE Verbal Section and the TOEFL \nV. The New GRE Analytical Writing Section and the TOEFL \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nExecutive Summary\n\nThe Test of English as a Foreign Language, TOEFL, developed in the early 1960’s, has become the main instrument of measuring English language proficiency for international students around the world. A total score (range of 310-677) was determined based on the scores of three subsections: Listening, Structure, and Reading; (note: an optional essay was administered at every other international testing date, the Test of Written English, TWE, with a score range of 0 to 6). \n\nIn the late 1990’s, the TOEFL Board produced a computer-based test (CBT; range: 40 to 300. Other than the supposed ease of electronic test-taking, the CBT TOEFL made a few notable improvements on the paper-based test (PBT); to mention two: (1) it includes linear testing (from easy to difficult) and computer-adaptive testing (tailoring to the proficiency level of the individual test-taker); and (2) it includes a compulsory essay, whose score is factored into the Structure section and is reported in a separate Essay Section, equivalent to the former TWE. A Concordance Table was published in 1998, providing equivalences between the familiar PBT scores and the new CBT ones. Since the CBT is not administered at every site where the PBT was, the PBT continues to be used in various parts of the world. \n\nGraduate School admissions committees have generally used a 550 (=213 CBT) cutoff score, but often without consideration of the total profile of subscores. In light of their near magical aura to the aggregate TOEFL scores, below are some recommendations on the use of TOEFL (either form) for admissions committees:\n\nRegardless of the total score, subscores must be taken into consideration \nListening subscores should not be below 50/16, regardless of the total, aggregate score \nEssay Writing subscores should not be below 4.0 (same rating as TWE scores) \nSince neither PBT nor CBT TOEFL versions measure one’s speaking ability, admissions committees considering offering teaching assistants with teaching duties should not use TOEFL scores alone in such decisions (certainly Listening scores should be a factor) \nThe number of times (and length of intervals) a prospective student has taken the TOEFL should be considered as a factor (read, test-wiseness as an issue) \nDate of last administration and activity in using English since then should be factored in the decision to accept an applicant or not \nFinally, TOEFL scores have never meant to be predictors of academic success. \nReturn to top \nI. Introduction\n\nHaving been developed in the mid 1960’s, the TOEFL has become the major standard of measuring proficiency in English as a second language throughout the world . Because of its widespread use in determining admissions into colleges and universities, TOEFL scores have taken on a sort of magical aura to them. One rather unfortunate consequence is the emergence of innumerable TOEFL preparation courses—not to mention TOEFL preparation centers—throughout the world: the tail is indeed wagging the dog. Even more unfortunate is the temptation to view one’s TOEFL scores as an indicator of general intelligence or as a predictor of academic success, despite the TOEFL Board’s insistence to the contrary. \n\nAlthough the TOEFL Board introduced a computer-based version in 1997 to replace paper-based testing, the latter is still prevalent in many parts of the world. Thus, in general, TOEFL scores in the 310-677 range (paper-based test) are still more familiar than those in the 40-300 range (computer-based test).\n\nLike the paper-based test (PBT), the c
