TOEFL®

The premier test of English communication, measuring language skills in academic context.

Supporting Government-Sponsored Academic Success

The TOEFL iBT® test supports governments and public institutions in identifying and preparing scholarship recipients and sponsored students for success in English-medium academic environments.

For government-sponsored programs, the TOEFL iBT provides a secure and policy-ready assessment framework. Robust score-integrity policies and state-of-the-art security measures help ensure fairness, comparability, and confidence in selection decisions.

By using the TOEFL iBT, governments can strengthen the effectiveness of their scholarship and graduation programs while ensuring that sponsored students are prepared to succeed academically, professionally, and globally.

In January 2026, ETS introduced the new TOEFL iBT that offers a more personalized, efficient, and accessible testing experience. The Reading and Listening sections adjust in real time to reflect your individual ability.

Your scores will be available in your ETS account 3 days after your test date. The new score reporting scale is clearer and more globally aligned, with a new 1 to 6 banded score aligned with the CEFR. The traditional 0–120 scale will also be shown making results easier to understand and compare.

TOEIC shows employers your ability to use English in real workplace situations—emails, meetings, teamwork.

TOEFL is designed for university admissions and study abroad, testing your ability to handle lectures, academic reading, and writing.

Are TOEIC® and TOEFL® scores aligned with CEFR levels?

What is the minimum number of students required to schedule a test session?

It varies depending on the test administered. In most instances, institutions need at least 15 students to arrange a private test session. For smaller numbers, institutions can register their students in Amideast’s public sessions. Contact your local Amideast office for more information.
