TOEFL Test and Score Manual

The TOEFL Test and Score Manual has been prepared for deans, admissions officers and graduate department faculty, administrators of scholarship programs, ESL teachers, and foreign student advisers. The Manual provides information about the interpretation of TOEFL® scores, describes the test format, explains the operation of the testing program, and discusses program research activities and new testing developments.
This edition of the Test and Score Manual updates material in the 1995-96 edition, providing a description of revisions to the test introduced in July 1995, and other information of interest to score users. With the exception of “Program Developments” on page 10, information in this Manual refers specifically to the paper-and-pencil TOEFL test.
As this edition goes to press (summer 1997), a computerbased TOEFL test is under development and planned for introduction in the second half of 1998 (see page 11). More information about the computer-based test and score interpretation will appear on the TOEFL website at http://www.toefl.org
and through new publications as it becomes available. Add your name to the TOEFL web list (on “Educators” directory page) and receive e-mail announcements as they are released
