About the TOEFL and GRE Tests
For nearly 50 years, the TOEFL test has been the most widely
accepted English-language assessment in the world, recognized by
more than 8,500 colleges, universities and agencies in more than
130 countries. Globally, the TOEFL test is available at more than
4,500 testing sites in more than 165 countries. To date, more than
27 million students around the world have taken the TOEFL test.
Students can take the TOEFL test in half a day, eliminating the
need for a second day of testing and additional travel and lodging
expenses. For more information about the TOEFL test, including free
sample test questions and study resources, visit the TOEFL Go
Anywhere website at www.TOEFLGoAnywhere.org.
GRE® test scores provide graduate and business schools around
the world with an objective and common measure for evaluating and
comparing the qualifications of applicants. For more than 60 years,
GRE scores have been used by admissions and fellowship panels to
supplement undergraduate records, including grades and
recommendations, and other qualifications for graduate-level study.
The GRE® revised General Test measures the skills that graduate and
business schools value: verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning,
critical thinking and analytical writing — skills that are not
limited to any specific field of study, but are important for all.
Used by thousands of graduate and business schools around the
world, the test is available at about 700 ETS-authorized test
centers in more than 160 countries. For more information, visit
