Introduction to TOEFL iBT
TOEFL is an English examination that tests your knowledge of
academic English in four key areas: reading, listening, writing
and speaking.
Vocabulary and grammar knowledge are also tested,
but indirectly.

The TOEFL test is designed and administered by ETS,
Educational Testing Services, an American company based in New
Jersey. ETS also administers other common tests like TOEIC, GMAT
and GRE.
The maximum score in the TOEFL test is 120. A good score is
above 90 points, and a great score is more than 100 points. At
Higher Score at LSC Language Studies Canada, it is our goal to help every student achieve a
score of 90 points or above.
Higher score is an excellent school. I would recommend it to everyone
looking for a good TOEFL courses. Higher Score method is very effective
and an excellent one. I have to mention that I exactly followed the
method thought in the class in my TOEFL test and I got 93, which is
higher than the score that I was expecting for my university.

TOEFL is a very challenging examination, and unfortunately,
many students find it hard to achieve the score they need. One
reason for this is that the English level of TOEFL is high,
because it is an academic exam. The other reason is that TOEFL
questions challenge students in a very logical manner. Many
students are not comfortable with this type of thinking, which
can make the test very challenging. The good news is that we at
Higher Score at LSC Language Studies Canada can help you learn this type of thinking, which
will give you a big advantage during the test and help you after
you enter university.
This table shows some information about the different
sections of the test:
| Time | Questions | Comments | |

I think other schools focus on improving English and
playing. However, Higher Score focus on increasing the score
in TOEFL. For me, it was good! I have a great time in this
school.

For students in Canada and the USA, the easiest way to
register is to call ETS on 1-800-468-6335 (free number). If
you do not live in the USA or Canada, you can
download this free PDF file that lists the registration
telephone number in your country.
If you prefer to register online, you can
register by visiting this site. You will need to set up
a user name and password, which can be confusing, and the
website is often very slow, so calling is easier if you are
comfortable using the telephone.
