Internet-based Test (iBT)
In the beginning, it was a paper-based test (PBT) and computer-based test (CBT) formats, but later in 2005, an internet-based test(iBT) was introduced to gradually replace the (PBT) and (CBT) formats. The exams measure four English academic skills: reading, speaking, listening, and writing.
TOEFL iBT Test
The exam has the following four sections: Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. The test has a scale of 0 to 120 points, and each section has a scale of 0 to 30 points. The four scores are added together to determine the final score for each candidate.
Basic requirement
Suppose you are preparing to study abroad as an international student. In that case, you will need to familiarise yourself with the four sections to get a required point score to fulfil the essential requirement to study abroad in any English-speaking university particularly, the USA and Canada.
The Scores
It is essential to ensure you score more than an average in each of the four sections because some universities use the the scores as a prerequisite for their admission process. Most institutions set up a minimum score point.
