ETS regularly carries out correlation studies between its tests and the CEFR (the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) to ensure that reliable and precise correlations can be made over time.

The CEFR defines skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking in any language. The Framework is broken down into six levels, falling into three main groups:

• A1 – A2 (Basic User)
• B1 – B2 (Independent User)
• C1 – C2 (Proficient User)

All the tests developed by ETS Global are mapped to the CEFR level and thus can be broken down such as follows:

• Level A1 to B1: TOEIC Bridge^® and TOEFL Primary^® tests
• Level A1 to C1: TOEIC^® Listening and Reading and TOEIC^® Speaking and Writing tests
• Level A2 to B2: TOEFL Junior^® Standard test
• Level A2 to C1: TOEIC TFI^™ and TOEFL ITP^® tests
• Level B1 to C1: TOEFL IBT^® test

By clicking on the "Register to a test" button, you will access all the tests sessions dates available nearby or in the selected city.

Please make sure the country selected corresponds to the country where you wish to register. If it is the case, there might be sessions available in this country. To see them, please click on "Show the map", click on "-" to see all the sessions available in this country. If it is not the case, you may change the country and proceed as mentioned above.

If you can't find any test session in your city we invite you to extend your research to the neighbouring cities. You can also avoid selecting a city in order to visualise all available test sessions in your country. Once a test session is fully booked, it will no longer appear on our website.

ETS has designed two programmes to support decision-making in different settings:

• The TOEIC^® Institutional Testing Programme: delivers a nationally recognized score report without the test taker’s photo.
• The TOEIC^® Public Testing Programme: delivers an international score report with the test taker’s photo.

Both programmes guarantee fair, valid and reliable test scores correlated onto the CEFR. The test itself (length, difficulty, number of items, score scale…) is the same. The main difference between the two programmes lies in the recommended usages of the score reports and the format of the score reports delivered.

The TOEIC^® Listening and Reading test takes 2 hours to complete and includes 2 sections:

• Listening Comprehension section: 45 minutes and 100 questions
• Reading Comprehension section: 75 minutes and 100 questions

Before the test, 30 minutes are required to complete administrative formalities.

Because English-language skills may improve or decline over time, ETS Global and Representatives will re-issue and confirm score results for 2 years after taking the test.

As the use of English evolves and changes, so must our tests and test questions. We want to ensure that the TOEIC Listening and Reading test reflects current language use and measures the language skills that test-takers need when they are placed in, or preparing for, positions in the real world.

What you need to know:

Listening Section:
