Test your English

ToEFL ONLINE

Do you know how good is your English?
We have found that most self-estimates of English proficiency are overestimates. Many are gross overestimates.
There is a minority of modest people who underestimate.

It is important to know one's strengths and weaknesses correctly.

Are you sporting? Would you like to get your English tested - against a standard benchmark?

You can take the
                            Test of English as a Functional Language (ToEFL)

carefully designed and benchmarked by EPP. Now the process to take ToEFL online has become quite simple.



Any eligibility criteria?
Anybody (from 15 to 65 years old) can take it.

Result of this test will 'confidentially' tell you (without divulging your result to others)

• whether your English background is adequate for operational purposes, or perhaps much better,
• if not, then what is the extent of the inadequacy and what action on your part can remedy it, and
• in particular, to what extent Practical English course, as it is conducted at IITK, will be useful to you.

Steps to take the test:

• Complete the     electronic form     and submit online.
• You will receive a Confidential Code No. through an email.
• Keep this Code number confidential for privacy of your ToEFL grade.
• The actual test is of 45 minutes. (In the online version of the test, we do not control the time strictly.)
• At least two hours before the submission-time (chosen by you) of your test, you will be given the question paper through email.
• Attempt the test and send your 'solution' (as a PDF file) as an attachment to your email addressed to "epp.iitkanpur@gmail.com" by your chosen 'submission time'.
• Within a week, your Code No. and ToEFL grade will appear at
  ToEFL Result site among the results already declared.
• Grades in the scale A/B/C/D/E/F are uploaded here against the 'secret' Code No. of participants, along with the meaning and implication of these grades.
• In our understanding, for a modern citizen of the world, an "A" grade is a matter of satisfaction, "B" grade a matter of necessity and "C" grade a matter of concern.

Note: To keep the option of online ToEFL limited to only serious participants , we have kept the requirement of a modest contribution of Rs. 500/- (or USD 20), as you will find out from the form.
[The classroom ToEFL is free.]
