The TOEFL test helps you stand out confidently in English, and it comes with a clear advantage — universities know you are ready to succeed.
That's why it's accepted by more than 11,500 universities and other institutions in over 160 countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States, the U.K., and across Europe and Asia.
The TOEFL test measures all 4 academic skills — Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. Here is a closer look at how the test, including the Home Edition and Paper Edition, is structured, administered and scored.
Part 1: Reading Section (54 – 72 minutes)
Part 2: Listening Section (41 – 57 minutes)
Part 3: Speaking Section (17 minutes)
Part 4: Writing Section (50 minutes)
The total score possible is 0–120.
Responses from the Speaking and Writing* sections are scored by a combination of AI scoring and ETS-certified raters.
Score delivery time varies depending on how the test taker took the test and how score recipients receive scores.
