TEST OF ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN
LANGUAGE™
The Test of English as a Foreign Language™ (TOEFL
®
) measures
the ability of nonnative speakers of English to use and understand
English as it is spoken, written, and heard in college and university
settings.
TOEFL scores are accepted by more than 6,000 colleges, universi-
ties, and licensing agencies in 110 countries. Every test center is
open to everyone who is properly registered, regardless of race, color,
creed, or national origin (subject to U.S. sanctions programs and
embargoes).
This Information and Registration Bulletin contains information
about the TOEFL computer-based test (TOEFL CBT) and the TOEFL
paper-based test (TOEFL PBT). A list of test centers is available in
the Learners and Test Takers section of the TOEFL Web site at
www.ets.org/toefl.
TOEFL Computer-Based
Test (TOEFL CBT)
The TOEFL computer-based test is approximately four hours long.

It is offered year-round at institutional sites such as colleges and
universities and at testing centers operated by Prometric
®
, a division
of Thomson Learning.
The computer-based test has four sections, all of which are
mandatory at each administration.
ᮣ
Listening measures the ability to understand English as it is spo-
ken in North America. This section tests comprehension of main
ideas, supporting ideas, important details, and inferences. You will
both see and hear the questions before the answer choices appear.
ᮣ
Structure measures the ability to recognize language that is appro-
priate for standard written English. The language tested is formal,
rather than conversational. When topics have a national context,
they refer to United States or Canadian history, culture, art, or
literature. However, knowledge of these contexts is not needed
to answer the questions.
ᮣ
Reading measures the ability to understand short passages similar
in topic and style to academic texts used in North American col-
leges and universities. You will read a variety of short passages on
academic subjects and answer several questions about each passage.
ᮣ
Writing measures the ability to write in English on an assigned
topic. You must compose an essay in order to receive a total score.
TOEFL Paper-Based
Test (TOEFL PBT)
The TOEFL paper-based test is approximately three and one-half

hours long. It is offered six times a year in specific locations.
The paper-based test has three sections, all of which are manda-
tory. At least one question must be answered in each section to
receive a score.
ᮣ
Listening Comprehension measures the ability to understand
English as it is spoken in North America.
ᮣ
Structure and Written Expression measures the ability to recog-
nize language that is appropriate for standard written English.
ᮣ
Reading Comprehension measures the ability to understand non-
technical reading material.
You will be given a test book and a paper answer sheet on which to
record your responses. The test that you take may include questions
that do not count toward your score. These are either questions that
enable ETS to make test scores comparable across administrations or
new questions that help ETS determine how such questions function
under actual testing conditions.

About the TOEFL and TSE Tests
Each section of the test has a time limit. The test administrator
will tell you when to start and stop each section. You may read or
work on a section only during the time allotted for that section.
If you finish a section early, you may NOT go on to the next sec-
tion or return to a previous section. Failure to follow this rule may
result in your scores being canceled.
The Test of Written English™ (TWE

®
) is a 30-minute writing test
that is required of everyone taking the paper-based test. You will
write a short essay on one topic printed in your TWE test book to
demonstrate your ability to write in English. This includes the ability
to generate and organize ideas, to support those ideas with examples
or evidence, and to compose in standard written English in response
to an assigned topic. You will not need special knowledge of the
topic. There is no separate fee for the TWE.
You will write your essay on a two-sided answer sheet attached to
your TOEFL answer sheet. When you are told to begin working, read
the instructions and the essay question carefully. You must write only
on the assigned topic. If you write an essay on a different topic, it will
not be scored. You will probably want to spend a few minutes thinking
about the kind of essay you will write, and you may wish to make a
few brief notes. The test administrator will tell you where to make
your notes for the writing test. Plan to take at least 20 minutes to
write your essay after you have read the instructions and made notes.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

TEST OF SPOKEN ENGLISH™ (TSE
®
)
The Test of Spoken English™ (TSE
®
) is administered by Educational
Testing Service (ETS) through the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) program. The primary purpose of the TSE test is
to measure the ability of nonnative speakers of English to communi-
cate orally in English. The TSE is offered five times a year in specific
locations. See “Test Dates and Registration Deadlines” on page 8 and
the test center list in the Learners and Test Takers section of the TSE
Web site at www.ets.org/tse.
Academic institutions, corporations, government agencies, health
care systems, and other organizations use TSE scores to guide their
decisions regarding graduate assistantships in teaching and research,
employment, and licensing and certification. Every test center is
open to every properly registered person, regardless of race, color,
creed, or national origin.
There are two separate registration categories within the TSE
program: TSE-A and TSE-P.
ᮣ
TSE-A is for teaching and research assistant applicants who have
been requested to take the TSE test by the admissions office or
department chair of an academic institution. TSE-A is also for
other undergraduate or graduate school applicants.
ᮣ
TSE-P is for all other individuals, such as those who are taking the
TSE test to obtain licensure or certification in a professional or
occupational field.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
TSE Test
The TSE test lasts approximately 20 minutes and consists of nine
questions, each of which requires that you perform a particular
speech activity. Examples of these speech activities include narrating,
recommending, persuading, and giving and supporting an opinion.
You will use a test book and audio-recording equipment to com-
plete the test. A recording will lead you through the test. You will
simply respond to the questions and your responses will be recorded.
The time allotted for each of your responses ranges from 30 to 90
seconds. All the recorded questions, as well as the allotted response
time, are printed in the test book. The questions on the test are fairly
general, designed to inform the raters about your English-language
oral communication skills. Your score for the test will be based on
the recorded samples of your speech.
