Study Abroad (Back to Top)
QS. I am studying in class XII. What is the best time to apply for TOEFL and SAT? Should I apply after my 10+2 or after my graduation? I am very confused.
ANS.TOEFL is a basic requirement for assessing proficiency in the English language (as is spoken in North America) of all those who wish to apply for higher studies in the US and whose native language is not English.
You would need the TOEFL scores while applying for undergraduate and postgraduate studies. However, SAT scores are meant to assess a student's preparedness for pursuing undergraduate study in US colleges, so schedule SAT if you are interested in applying to US colleges for your undergraduate education (leading to a Bachelor's degree).
If you are planning to apply for admission to US colleges in the 2007-2008 sessions, you should be scheduling TOEFL and SAT now.
If you want to pursue your Master's degree in the US, you should be applying for TOEFL and GRE (for all graduate courses) in the final stages of your Bachelor's degree or after. For admission to professional courses like MBA, medicine, law, pharmacy, etc you would have to appear for GMAT, MCAT, LSAT, PCAT, etc respectively. For up-to- date information you can visit the TOEFL website: and the SAT website:
QS.I have taken up Arts in class XII CBSC boards and interested in pursuing an undergraduate course in The United States. Could you give me information about the TOEFL - iBT Internet Based Testing?
ANS: The TOEFL – iBT [Test of English as a Foreign Language - Internet Based Test] has been introduced in some locations within India starting April 2006.
The new TOEFL – iBT is a linear and computer adaptive test. This means that all candidates answer questions from the same range of difficulty, rather than receiving only questions at the ability level.
