Welcome to ShrLax Education!

What is TOEFL iBT?

 

The TOEFL iBT is a globally recognised English proficiency test designed to assess how well non-native English speakers can use and understand English in an academic environment. It evaluates the skills required to succeed in university-level education, where listening, reading, speaking, and writing are often integrated.

TOEFL iBT is accepted by 11,000+ universities and institutions across the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Asia, as well as by immigration authorities and professional bodies in some countries.
