Test of English as a Foreign Language

Test of English as a Foreign Language is an educational entrance examination and administered by ETS. It is used as part of admission to the programmes and institutions covered by its official rules. Applicants should use the official resources to understand how the examination fits into the relevant admission process.

• Administering authority: ETS
• Stream: Language/Skill

• Medium or languages: English

Preparation should begin with the published syllabus and a structured revision plan covering Reading comprehension, academic listening, spoken response, integrated and independent writing. Candidates should combine concept review with timed practice and analysis of mistakes.

Official sample papers, previous papers, and instructions should take priority over third-party summaries whenever they are provided by the examination authority.

Qualifying or scoring in an entrance examination does not by itself guarantee admission unless the official rules say otherwise. Applicants may also need to complete programme selection, institutional applications, document verification, interviews, portfolios, medical requirements, or centralised counselling, depending on the admission system.
