Best TOEFL Training in Ahmedabad

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is an examination administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and is used to evaluate a non-native English speaker’s proficiency in the English Language. The test is accepted by many English-speaking academic and professional institutions.

TOEFL is one of the two major English-language tests in the world, the other being the IELTS. TOEFL is a trademark of the Educational Testing Service (ETS), a private non-profit organization, which designs and administers tests. ETS issues official score reports, sent independently to institutions, for two years following the test.

The TOEFL test was first administered in 1964 by the Modern Language Association financed by grants from the Ford Foundation and Danforth Foundation. In 1965, The College Board and ETS jointly assumed responsibility for the continuation of the TOEFL testing program.
