Who should take the TOEFL?

TOEFL Eligibility: Students wanting to study abroad are required to appear for the TOEFL exam. There are a lot of students wandering about the TOEFL exam eligibility criteria. Candidates would be relieved to know that ETS - the conducting body of the TOEFL iBT has not specified any age criteria or education qualifications or prerequisites to appear for the TOEFL test.

• TOEFL Exam Eligibility - Age Requirements: ETS - the conducting body of the TOEFL exam has not set any TOEFL exam age limit for candidates looking to appear for the exam.

• TOEFL Exam Eligibility - Education Qualifications: While ETS has not set any academic qualification as part of the TOEFL eligibility criteria. However, by extension of admission to universities abroad, candidates should ideally have passed their 10+2 from a recognized board to be eligible to apply to universities abroad for higher education which could also double as a TOEFL eligibility for appearing for the TOEFL exam.
