Since 1964 almost 20 million students have taken the TOEFL® test in over 165 countries. Over 4500 educational institutions worldwide use the TOEFL® test as an admission requirement for non-native speakers of English. There are two versions of the TOEFL® test: a paper-based version and a computer-based version. The paper-based test lasts approximately three hours and has three sections: Listening Comprehension, Structure and Written Expression, and Reading Comprehension. A fourth section, the Test of Written English, is optional. All the questions are multiple-choice. The paper-based test has a maximum score of 677. Most colleges and universities require a score of 550 or better. The paper-based test is gradually being phased out and replaced with the computer-based test.

The computer-based test (CBT) differs in many ways from the paper-based version; pencils, bubble-filled answer sheets, and test booklets are being replaced by computer terminals, keyboards, and mice. The CBT includes a mandatory Writing section and revamped Listening, Structure, and Reading sections. New question types appear in the Listening and Reading sections, and the Listening and Structure sections are computer-adaptive. This means that the computer presents test questions that are aimed at the each test-taker’s ability level. How does it work? The first question will be of average difficulty. If it is answered correctly, the computer will then present a slightly more difficult question. If it is answered incorrectly, it will present a slightly easier question. This continues throughout the Listening and Structure sections and a point value based on the difficulty of the questions answered correctly is then generated at the end of each section.
