What is a good TOEFL score?
90 or above for most graduate programmes, 80 for undergraduate, 100 or more for top universities.
TOEFL or IELTS?
TOEFL is preferred in the US and fully computer-based; IELTS is accepted everywhere and has a face-to-face speaking test. Choose the format you perform better in.
How long is TOEFL valid?
Two years.
Can I take TOEFL at home?
Yes, the Home Edition is accepted by most universities. Check your specific programme.
