TOEFL PRACTICE TEST : Computer-Based TOEFL

The TOEFL test was introduced as a computer-based test (CBT) in July 1998 in many parts of the world. In 2006, it was replaced by the Internet-based Test (iBT). The iBT is now widely used around the world.

The CBT combined many of the same question types as the traditional paper-based test with new question types that can be offered only on the computer. At the time, there were several advantages to taking the computer-based TOEFL test:

testing at more than 300 test centers around the world
convenient scheduling
comfortable testing environment
fewer test questions than on the paper-based test
questions that are tailored to your ability level
immediate viewing of scores on screen
opportunity to choose up to four score recipients after seeing your scores
official score reports mailed approximately 14 days after testing
Students at VEC were exposed to various sample tests in our computer labs, to ensure that they could take computer-based tests confidently. VEC had the latest software for students to learn and practice with. At VEC, students are able to use the computer labs seven days a week.

TOEFL Internet-Based Test
During 2005 and 2006, the TOEFL Internet-based Test (TOEFL iBT) replaced the TOEFL Computer-based Test in most countries. In Canada, the use of the iBT started in October 2005. The TOEFL iBT tests speaking, listening, reading, and writing. We now offer preparation courses for TOEFL iBT.
