TOEFL - Test of English as a Foreign Language

The TOEFL® tests prepare students for postsecondary study, immigration and more. Click here to learn how the TOEFL is used at MDC to exempt students from English proficiency placement testing.

  • TOEFL iBT (internet-based test):  This test measures a test taker's ability to combine listening, reading, speaking and writing skills where it matters most — in the classroom. It is the most popular TOEFL test giving access to millions of students to prove they have what it takes to succeed in an English-speaking academic environment.
  • TOEFL Essentials: This test measures the four core skills — Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking — in a multistage adaptive format, in about 1.5 hours.

For more information regarding this assessment, please contact the Testing and Assessment Department.
