The Educational Testing Service (ETS), which conducts the English testing exam— Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) has launched an application for test takers to prepare for the new and shorter version of the exam.
The app— TOEFL Go, includes complete TOEFL iBT mock tests, additional practice sets for all four sections, artificial intelligence (AI) powered automated scoring, performance feedback for sections, personalised feedback and tops for speaking and writing responses.
The app will be available on both mobile and desktop devices. ETS, which conducts TOEFL and Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), announced a series of changes in the English proficiency test last month to create an optimal experience for those taking it. The changes came into effect today i.e., July 26.
TOEFL scores are considered by more than 12,000 institutions in over 160 countries and are universally accepted in popular destinations such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and by over 98 per cent of universities in the UK.
TOEFL will now take less than two hours to complete instead of three hours and the candidates will be able to see their official score release date upon completion of the test.
