TOEFL is an acronym for Test of English as a Foreign which is used to measure a

person's ability in English.
This test is a registered test service from ETS (Educational Testing Service) which
has been around since 1947 in the United States.
The uses of this test are many, from registering for school to registering for a job.
However, the minimum score given will be adjusted to the needs of the agency.
There are three types of TOEFL tests, namely the international TOEFL test,
institutional TOEFL test and TOEFL Like-Test. These three types of TOEFL have
different validity periods and uses.
The International TOEFL test will use new questions in each test and has a validity
period of two years. This test is accepted at universities all over the world and can
also be used to apply for scholarships abroad.
The institutional TOEFL test questions will be based on previous year questions
from the international TOEFL test.
The validity period of this test is only six months and the cost is lower. However, it
cannot be used to apply to outside universities but some scholarship
requirements allow this type of test.
TOEFL Like-Test is also based on questions from previous years from the
international TOEFL test.
This type of test cannot be used to apply to study abroad and can only be used to
fulfill the requirements of several universities in Indonesia and has no validity
period.
