Test of English as Foreign Language TOEFL

A new four-hour internet-based version of the Test of English as Foreign Language, called TOEFL iBT (internet based test), is being introduced worldwide. The paper-based TOEFL test, however, will continue to be offered until the internet-based test is made available.
The new format

TOEFL has two existing formats -- computer-based and paper-based. In the new format, changes have been made in the speaking and writing sections. The reading and listening sections remain the same.

The speaking section will now have six tasks where the students will be given two independent tasks to express an opinion on a familiar topic and four integrated tasks to speak, based on what is read and heard. Up to 30 seconds will be given to prepare the response and one minute will be allotted to respond.
