The purpose of the TOEFL test is to evaluate the English proficiency of people whose native language is not English. TOEFL scores are required for purposes of admission by more than 2,400 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.
The test is also used by institutions in other countries where English is the language of instruction. In addition, government agencies, scholarship programs, and licensing/certification agencies use TOEFL scores to evaluate English proficiency.
In the TOEFL computer-based test, the Listening and Structure sections are adaptive. In these sections, you will be able to change your answer as often as you like until you have made your final choice, confirmed your answer, and moved on to the next question.
You will not be allowed to go back to a previous question, because your answers to all previous questions help determine the difficulty level of the next question you will be given.
The Reading section of the test is not adaptive. This section is similar to that of the current paper-based test in that you will be given passages and accompanying sets of questions. Because the selection of these passages and questions will not be based on your performance, you will be allowed to omit items or go back to previous questions.
In the Writing section, you will be assigned a topic selected by the computer from a pool of topics. During an actual test you will be given the choice of handwriting your response or typing it on the computer.
