The test, often referred to as the TOEFL iBT™ test, is administered at more than 4,500 test sites around the world. A paper-based version of the test is available in areas where TOEFL iBT testing is not possible.

For example, you may read a passage or listen to a lecture, and then write or speak about what you learned.
