TOEFL Online Course
If you don't need to
go through our online course, click here for basic information about the
TOEFL test.
Our course is heavily
focused on "self-help." Here's why:
A) If you are
intimately involved in both structuring and completing your test preparation,
you will have a better understanding of the experience and reap better results
and
B) We recognize that
there is great diversity in learning styles. By leaving the test preparation
solution in a more open, relaxed format, we believe we can make the diversity in
learning styles a strength rather than a weakness.
The TOEFL, or Test of
English as a Foreign Language, is an exam administered by the Educational
Testing Service (ETS). The TOEFL is taken by people for whom English is not
their first language. It is used to determine ones’ understanding of the English
language in its written and spoken forms in college and university settings and
situations. A lot of colleges and universities that are primarily English
speaking will require the TOEFL test for non-native English speakers that are
applying for admission to those universities. There are various formats of the
TOEFL, depending on where one will be taking the test. These include the
paper-based test (PBT) and the internet-based test (iBT).
Registration for the paper-based and the internet-based tests can be done
online, over the phone, or by mail. Online registration can be done on ETS’s
website 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Phone registration can be completed
by calling 1-443-751-4862 or 1-800-468-6335. Registration can also be completed
by sending in the online registration form that can be found online at ETS’s
website. The mailing address is indicated on the form. The form, even if one is
registering online or by phone, can be useful because it indicates the
information that is needed for registration. Contact information, score
recipients, and payment of fees are all required at registration. In addition,
indicating the identification that will be used at the testing center, knowing
the test location and test date desired are also needed when registering for the
TOEFL. Early registration for the exam closes seven days before the test date,
and late registration closes three days before the test date. There are fees
associated with taking the TOEFL test, and there is an additional fee for
registering during late registration. Fees depend on the format of test being
taken, PBT or iBT, and are outlined online at ETS’s website.
