TOEFL Overview
TOEFL is a shorthand for “Test of English as a Foreign Language” which is a test of English language competency. The TOEFL iBT assesses your ability to read, listen, speak, and write in English, as well as how well you combine these abilities in the curriculum.
Structure of TOEFL
1. LISTENING
The listening component consists of six lengthy chapters with associated questions. Two student interactions and four academic lectures or conversations make up the passages. The students must determine the key concepts, details, function, position, conclusions, and general organization in order to answer the questions.
2. READING
The reading component consists of 3-5 large sections with associated questions. Students respond to questions pertaining to key principles, details, assumptions, sentence re-statements, sentence insertion, vocabulary, function, and overall thoughts. In the iBT, different versions of questions demand paraphrasing, filling out tables, or writing summaries.
3. WRITING
The writing section consists of two tasks, one integrated task and one independent task. Students compose an essay about what they read and hear in the integrated exercise. Students must write an essay for the independent task.
4. SPEAKING
It comprises of four tasks, which are independent and integrated speaking test. Students must respond to opinion questions concerning various aspects of academic life in the two independent activities. The student must listen to passages and then summarize and express thoughts on the information in two integrated reading, listening, and speaking projects. Test takers must be able to communicate facts, explain concepts, and defend their positions in a clear, cohesive, and accurate manner.

Grading the TOEFL examination
On a scale of 0 to 120 points, the TOEFL iBT test is graded. A scaled score of 0 to 30 is assigned to each of the four categories (reading, listening, speaking, and writing). The overall score is calculated by adding the scaled scores from the four components.
Each skill has four or five levels of proficiency, and where your score falls within a certain range determines your capacity competency.
