When it's time to fulfill the English-language requirements in your post-graduate career, having the knowledge of an additional testing option could assist you in choosing the most suitable test that meets your needs.

Since 2014, the TOEFL test has been accepted to fulfill the English-language requirements for a range of temporary and permanent work visas and professional registration requirements. The TOEFL test boasts a few advantages over others: the entire test is conducted on a computer, and it is taken in half a day, unlike other tests that make you come back for a second day. Additionally, there are many free online resources and official prep materials, including a MOOC created by the test-maker available on edX.

Students can learn more about the TOEFL test and other available resources by visiting: http://www.toeflgoanywhere.org/
