The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is an exam that assesses the non-native speakers of English proficiency in this language. It is a prerequisite for all non native speakers of the language that want to de admitted to an English speaking university.

The exam is elaborated by ETS, the same company in charged of the administration and design of most official exams across the USA (GMAT and GRE among other).

The test measures the ability of non native speakers of English to use and understand English as it is spoken, written, and heard in college and university settings. During the last few years the exam has been changed. One major difference with previous versions of the exam is that today the candidate is asked to integrate the abilities he is being tested on. This is an essential element since in an academic background and in order to take full advantage of the teaching, students need to combine these skills inside and outside the classroom.

Today it is possible, depending on the country in which you want to take the exam, to take it as Internet-based (iBT) or paper based (PBT). Differences between the exams are minor, the main one being that in the latter the candidate has to integrate in each of the sections two or more of the skills he is being tested on.
