Free study resources for TOEFL

EDUCATION Testing Service (ETS), the creator of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) test, has introduced a suite of free resources to help Malaysian test takers prepare and score well on the TOEFL iBT test.

The free resources are available at www.ets.org/toefl and www.TOEFLGoAnywhere.org.

The websites give students access to a number of useful test preparation tools including sample test questions, planning calendars and videos that provide an in-depth look at each section of the test.

Additionally, the resources provide practical tips on how to master the English language and succeed in a variety of real-life study abroad situations such as applying to universities and obtaining student visas.

Director of the TOEFL brand at ETS Pamela Treves said the organisation has created a suite of resources to assist Malaysian students in reaching their personal best on the test.

“The user-friendly tools offer insight on the overall testing experience including registration, study preparation, and what to expect on test day. Being familiar with the test format and testing process will give students an advantage during the test,” she said.

The TOEFL test measures the four skills — reading, writing, speaking and listening — that students need to succeed and excel in an academic environment.

Accepted at more than 8,500 institutions in more than 130 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States, the TOEFL iBT test offers a myriad of choices for prospective students applying to universities and colleges around the world.
