Great! bacause I just did. My reason was because I wanted to polish my resume. If that is not your case, think about it: You are going to spend $170.00 dolars for this test, just because you want to try it?

TOEFL stands for the Test of English as a Foreign Language. It is a test designed to mesure the English-language and who plan to study at colleges and universities in North America.
Although there are other standardized tests of English, the TOEFL test is by far the most important in North America; ETS has offered this exam since 1965. Each year, almost a million people take the TOEFL test at testing centers all over the world.
About 5,000 colleges, universities, and other institutions in USA and Canada either require students from non-English-speaking countries to supply TOEFL test scores as a part of their application process or accept TOEFL test scores as evidence of a person's proficiency in English.
TOEFL IBT (Internet-based test) is a computer-based version of the TOEFL, and became available in many parts of the world.
Test-takers work on the tests at individual computer stations at official testing centers. The test is offered only on scheduled testing dates. This version is significantly different from other tests.
°There is a new Speaking Section that tests your ability to communicate orally.You record responses that are scored by raters at ETS.
°You are allowed to take notes during all parts of the test. Consider this important tipp, only your notes will help you.
°There are integrated tasks that require you to combine your speaking and writing skills with your reading and listening skills.
Grammar skills are tested indirectly, especially in the Speaking and Writing Sections. Fortunately there is no separate grammar section.
The actual numbers in the chart above may vary from test to test. In the Reading Section, there may be four or five readings and from 36-70 questions. The Reading Section may vary from 60 to 100 minutes. In the Listening Section, there may be additional conversations and lectures and from 34-50 questions. The Listening Section may last from about 50 minutes to about 90 minutes.
The scores:
You will receive a Section Score for each of the four skill areas and a Total Score.
Reading 0 to 30
Listening 0 to 30
Speaking 0 to 30
Writing 0 to 30
Total 0 to 120
There isn't any. Each university or school has its own standards for admission, so you should check the requirements for the universities that you are interested in. Most undergraduate programs require scores between 65 and 80, and most graduate programs ask for scores between 70 and 100.
Of course, the higher your score, the better your chances of admission.
