The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is a standardized test used to measure the English language proficiency of non-native English speakers who are seeking to study in the United States or other English-speaking countries. TOEFL testing refers to the process of taking the TOEFL exam.

The TOEFL exam consists of four sections: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The test is designed to assess an individual’s ability to use English in academic settings, and to understand and produce written and spoken English.

To take the TOEFL exam, individuals must first register for the test and pay a fee. The exam is offered at testing centers around the world on specified dates. It is important to register for the test well in advance to ensure a seat at the desired testing center and date.

After taking the TOEFL exam, individuals will receive a score report that includes their scores for each section of the test, as well as an overall score. The scores are used by colleges and universities to assess an individual’s English language proficiency and to determine their eligibility for admission.

It is recommended to prepare for the TOEFL exam by studying English language skills and familiarizing yourself with the test format and content. There are many resources available, including official TOEFL preparation materials, online courses, private tutoring, and test preparation classes, to help individuals prepare for the exam.
