- There are two types of TOEFL exams: the TOEFL iBT (Internet-based Test) and the TOEFL PBT (Paper-based Test).
- TOEFL iBT: This is the most common and widely accepted format of the TOEFL exam. It is conducted online and assesses all four language skills: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The iBT format includes integrated tasks that require test-takers to combine multiple skills, such as reading and listening, or speaking and writing.
- TOEFL PBT: The Paper-based Test is offered in areas where internet testing is not available. It includes three sections: listening, structure and written expression, and reading comprehension. The speaking section is not included in the PBT, so test-takers need to demonstrate their speaking proficiency separately, through other means, if required.
