Institutional TOEFL Test
The Institutional Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is used to evaluate the English proficiency of individuals who speak English as a second language. The primary purpose of the Institutional TOEFL is to measure English proficiency for admission to college-level courses at TCC.
Please note that the Institutional TOEFL scores are valid only at the institution where it is taken. It cannot be sent to another college at a later date.
Examinees
Please be aware that the Institutional TOEFL is a standardized exam. This basically means that each section of the exam - listening, structure, and reading - has time limits set by the testing company, Educational Testing Service (ETS). These time limits will not change. The listening section is on a CD and runs about 35 minutes for 50 questions, the structure section is 40 questions in 25 minutes, and the reading portion is 50 questions in 55 minutes.
Individuals wishing to attend an institution other than TCC (or if you are unable to take our Institutional TOEFL) may register online for the TOEFL iBT. The cost for the iBT TOEFL is $225 (as of 6/4/2021).
