What International Students should know about the TOEFL
Universities around the world require international students to prove their proficiency in English by passing the TOEFL exam. Here, at Framingham State University (FSU), we will help you reach your educational goals by helping you to improve your TOEFL test scores for both the institutional exam (PBT) and the internet-based exam (iBT).
Framingham State University has been offering students the Institutional TOEFL (PBT) exam at the end of each semester for many years. We expect to be ready to offer the iBT exam by fall semester 2012. Until that time, we have courses to prepare students to take either exam.
To register to take the iBT, visit the Educational Testing Services website at www.ETS.org. Students can find a testing site near them.
