TOEFL, a popular English-language proficiency test,will now take less than two hours to complete- previously three hours. As part of its continuous pursuit to create an optimal experience for test takers, ETS took several initiatives along with reducing the exam time.
“Test takers can expect a shortened TOEFL iBT test for administrations beginning from July 26, 2023,” read a PR.
“Test takers will see their official score release date upon completion of the test, in addition to receiving real-time notification of changes to their score status. This is a new, more modern “Writing for an Academic Discussion” task, which replaces the previous Independent Writing task.Test takers can create an account and register for an available TOEFL iBT test date quicker and easier than ever before,” the PR added.
Amit Sevak, CEO of ETS said “ETS is driving the future of assessment through product innovations across education and learning, and TOEFL is core to that effort.”
He further added “TOEFL has been an industry standard for nearly six decades, and these enhancements further underscore its position. Most importantly, these enhancements were developed through the lens of our customers and stakeholders — because they are our highest priority to serve.”
The TOEFL iBT test created by Educational Testing Service (ETS) is among the most respected, accepted and preferred English-language proficiency tests used for study, work and immigration.
It boasts 100% acceptance in popular English-speaking destinations including the United States, Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. More than 11,500 institutions in more than 160 countries worldwide use TOEFL iBT scores to make high-stakes decisions.
