If you’re seeking to prove your English skills for a job or work visa, then you may need to take the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) instead of the TOEFL.
In 1962, a national council made up of representatives of thirty government and private organizations was formed to address the problem of ensuring English language proficiency for non-native speakers wishing to study at U.S. universities. This council recommended the development and administration of the TOEFL exam for the 1963-1965 timings.
The TOEFL exam enables you to effectively stand out in English. You can be sure that you'll stand out to institutions where it matters because it is the only test that assesses all four academic English skills—reading, listening, speaking, and writing—in the way they are really used in a classroom.
