TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is a standardized test that measures the English language proficiency of non-native English speakers. It evaluates the ability of the test-taker to understand and use English in an academic setting, and is commonly used as a requirement for admission to universities, colleges and graduate schools in English-speaking countries.
The TOEFL test is important because it is widely recognized and accepted by academic institutions and professional organizations around the world. A good TOEFL score demonstrates to universities and employers that you have the English language skills necessary to succeed in academic and professional settings. Additionally, the TOEFL test is a fair and objective measure of English language proficiency that is recognized globally, which means that your score can be used to apply for programs and opportunities in many countries.
