TOEFL® iBT
The Premier Test of Academic English Communication
The TOEFL (Test of English as Foreign Language) iBT® test measures your ability to use and understand English at the university level. And it evaluates how well you combine your reading, listening, speaking and writing skills to perform academic tasks. In Indonesia, the TOEFL® iBT (internet Based Test) has replaced the TOEFL® PBT (Paper Based Test) and TOEFL® CBT (Computer Based Test) since 2005.

By combining the assessment of human raters who aim to assess the content and purpose of writing and the automatic scoring method that assesses linguistic features, ETS ensures the consistency and quality of the TOEFL iBT® score are always guaranteed. The speaking session and the writing session are rated by more than one human rater to maintain scoring objectivity.
