The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is a globally recognized English proficiency exam designed to assess the ability of non-native English speakers to use and understand English in academic settings. It evaluates four core skills: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. TOEFL is accepted by over 11,000 institutions across 150 countries, including top universities in the United States, Canada, the UK, and Australia. The most common version of the test is TOEFL iBT (Internet-based Test), while TOEFL Essentials is a shorter and more flexible alternative. TOEFL scores are a critical part of the admissions process for students planning to study abroad.
