The TOEFL test is a globally recognized test for assessing the English language proficiency of non-native speakers and is accepted as a language credential in more than 130 countries (including France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the United States). The TOEFL provides high-quality assessments of English proficiency and is used primarily for a variety of academic applications and contexts. A successful TOEFL result requires good to excellent English skills in the areas of listening and reading comprehension, grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. Depending on the university, between roughly 70 and 100 points are required for a college place, corresponding to a CEF level of B1 - C2.
