LEAP English TOEIC - http://toeic.leap.edu.vn/cv-xin-viec-cach-viet-chuan-va-dep.html; In most cases, the choice is clear. A student applying to a school learns which test the program requires. However, some programs or universities will accept scores from any of the international tests of English. Then, a student may choose which test to take.

Test Scores
On the TOEFL iBT, the maximum possible score is 120 -- 30 points for each of the four sections. There is no "passing score" and colleges and universities will have their own requirements for admission, which test-takers can find information about through the admissions office. The TOEIC Reading and Listening test gives the test-taker a score of 10 to 990, which corresponds to bands in the Common European Framework measure of English proficiency. A test-taker will receive scores of zero to 200 for the Speaking and Writing Tests separately, again which corresponds to the CEF standards of English-language proficiency measurements.

When the TOEIC Listening and Reading test is taken together with the TOEIC® Speaking and Writing tests, TOEIC® test scores provide an accurate measure of proficiency in all four English language skills.

Who Takes the TOEFL vs. the TOEIC
The TOEFL measures the test-taker's ability to function in an English-speaking academic environment. The target test-taker for the TOEFL is a candidate for higher education in an English-speaking country. The TOEIC, on the other hand, measures the ability to function in a general work environment. This test is used in nonacademic settings as a measure of the ability of a current or potential employee to communicate effectively in English in a variety of business settings and situations.

"…it has advanced evidence which shows, at least prima facie, that it is not a "dodgy" institution. It says that for the 67 CAS issued in reliance on false TOEIC certificates there is no evidence that the students were anything other than genuine. It was not "absolutely obvious" that they could not speak English and were therefore fraudsters. On the contrary there was either evidence of an adequate command of English or, where further examination revealed doubts, the sponsorship of the students was withdrawn. All this was set out in great detail in a letter dated 26 August 2014; but this was effectively ignored by the SSHD when she came to make her decision…what the SSHD characterises as inference is no more than mere suspicion, and that mere suspicion is not a fair or rational basis on which to mete out a draconian sanction which will have such a calamitous economic consequence for an incorporated UK business"

"I say immediately that grounds (ii) – (iv), whether taken individually or collectively, do not justify the draconian step of revocation…. If ground (i) is valid then grounds (ii) – (iv) are unnecessary surplusage. If ground (i) is not valid then grounds (ii) to (iv) would not justify, on any view of the evidence, the sanction of revocation. That would be a grossly disproportionate response."

But when you need to find the best possible answer, there could be many correct answers. The best answer is supported by facts found in the exam material. Your job is to find out which answer is best, based on what you’ve heard, read or seen. We’ll call that the context.

Test Content
In the TOEFL, the test-taker is measured on his ability to function in an academic environment. In this regard, the vocabulary on this test is academic in nature and is similar to the vocabulary used in college text books. The topics of the reading and listening passages are similarly academic. You may read a passage on bird migration, for example, or listen to a lecture from an economics course. The TOEIC, on the other hand, measures the test-taker's ability to function in a business environment. Topics may range from dining out in a restaurant to presenting in a budget meeting.

Tier 4 sponsors, regardless of whether or not they have been directly caught up in the TOEIC fraud investigation and/or have been asked by UKVI to withdraw sponsorship from students, must take their obligations in assessing English language seriously. Sponsors that fail to carry out thorough assessments risk being unable to mount a defence against an accusation that they present a serious threat to immigration control.

"There is a lot to be said for the argument that when faced with the exceptional circumstance of fraud of this scope and scale the SSHD was and is entitled to adopt a line of adamantine strict liability whatever her previously published policy may have said."

Test Formats
The TOEFL is a four-section test that includes sections for reading, listening, speaking and writing. It is taken exclusively on the computer. The TOEIC is broken into two separate but complementary exams: the Reading and Listening Test, which is a paper-and-pencil test, and the Speaking and Writing Test, which is taken on a computer. The exams are broken up in this way so potential employers can choose to measure an employee's reading and listening or speaking and writing skills only, or all four language skills. The Reading and Listening Test will take about two-and-a-half hours to complete, and for the Speaking and Writing Test, the speaking section will last about 20 minutes, and the writing section will take 60 minutes to complete.
