The Test of English as a Foreign Language, otherwise known as TOEFL is the test to determine the ability of non-native speakers of English to use and understand American English. This helps you to speak, write and hear in the Colleges and Universities. Most of the people, who want to pursue their higher studies abroad, take this test. Apart from that, many government agencies, licensing/certification agencies, scholarship programs use this test to evaluate proficiency in English. This test takes four hours to complete it in the internet-based test (IBT) and has four sections namely, Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. All the four sections have equal weight and the total marks to be scored is 120. The emphasis is on integrated skills and this test acts as a gauge to the student’s proficiency to communicate ideas in English. Now you know about the test. The next thing that comes to your mind is how to select a good TOEFL Centre in Bahrain. Let’s see here how to determine the good testing centre.

• You should look for good headsets that will block the outside noise and also have good microphones.
• The next thing to consider is whether there are walls situated between students. Some test centres will provide less space between the students. Some will have extra space between the students.
• You should check whether the test centre is calm and provides the right ambience for the students to take the test. Some of them will have more students and will be very noisy. If it is noisy, then you cannot concentrate on your test.
• Some test centres are very poor in organising the student. This will cause a long delay making you more nervous.
• Last but not the least; you should check whether they have the proper internet connection. Else, TOEFL will stop in the middle of the test. Sometimes you will have to restart your computer. In some cases, the students couldn’t finish and had to come back another day.

The TOEFL on its own is stressful. The above problems might get added to that stress. It is ideal for you to take the test at a faraway centre rather than the local ones that are not up to the mark.  It is ideal to read the reviews about TOEFL Centre in Bahrain. Otherwise, you can take advice from friends, teachers, and relatives.
