On the other hand, the TOEFL tests your ability to communicate in English in academic settings. Administered by US-based organization the Education Testing Service, TOEFL uses American English. It is accepted by thousands of institutions across many countries, including the UK, USA, and Australia, as well as all of the world’s top 100 universities.
