20 Great Links for the TOEFL Exam


How many of us haven't heard students say things such as "How can I increase my TOEFL score? What's the secret of the IELTS? I need a better TOEFL score! I need to improve on the IELTS exam!"? Like many other standardized tests, the TOEFL can be extremely important for non-native English speakers in getting into certain colleges and even obtaining jobs.

Fortunately, my experience in having to prepare students for this exam has been minimal. Love them or hate them though, standardized tests continue to be used by many institutions, and the TOEFL is used extensively. On this page, there are resources to help students practice for the TOEFL and TOEIC and also a few links for information related to language testing in general, International Second Language Proficiency Ratings, and other information that is of more interest to teachers than to students.
