The TOEFL examination is offered in three formats:

• The traditional paper-based format (only offered on specific dates in a limited number of countries).
• The computer-based format (offered year-round).
• The internet-based format

Candidates in countries where the computer-based testing is not available must register for the paper-based TOEFL, which includes the Test of Written English (TWE) component.

The computer-based test includes an essay-rating component, which is similar to the TWE.

To be considered for admission, all candidates must satisfy a minimum score requirement on all components:
