TOEFL test

The TOEFL test (Test of English as a Foreign Language) measures ability to use and understand English at a university level. It also evaluates how well you combine your listening, reading, speaking and writing skills to perform academic tasks.

  • Registration for the TOEFL exam and all necessary information about the exam, including where it is held is available at ets.org.

  • The home based TOEFL test is currently considered a valid test by the University of Iceland. This only applies to the TOEFL English proficiency test but not to other similar home based tests like IELTS.

  • Possible exemptions from submitting proof of English proficiency can be found on the Proof of English Proficiency Requirements page.
