The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is a standardized test designed to measure the English language proficiency of non-native speakers. It is commonly used by universities, colleges, and other institutions around the world to assess the English skills of applicants for academic programs.

Scores are valid for two years, and the test is widely accepted by universities and institutions, particularly in English-speaking countries such as the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
