Differences Between TOEFL TOEIC

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.

The hearsay evidence of Ms Collings and Mr Millington, the two main witnesses relied on by the Secretary of State was inherently limited in that neither of these witnesses possessed any relevant qualifications, credentials or expertise in what is ultimately a scientific field - namely, voice recognition technology and techniques;
There was no evidence from ETS;
The evidence from expert Dr. Harrison was persuasive and remained unchallenged by the Secretary of State;
The Appellant’s themselves were found to be truthful.

After a BBC documentary by Panorama which exposed that there was widespread fraud being used in the taking of English language tests, ETS reviewed all its tests using voice recognition software and anti-fraud staff trained in voice recognition. As a result, ETS concluded that thousands of tests had been taken by proxy test takers. The Secretary of State relied on, as they did with many other cases, witness statements from a civil servant with responsibility for overseeing delivery of secure English language testing and the Assistant Director responsible for coordinating compliance visits to educational sponsors.

In the case of R (Gazi) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (ETS - judicial review) [2015] UKUT 00327 (IAC) these witness statements were described as ‘generic’ as they did not explain why ETS had invalidated the certificate of a particular person or provide any evidence in relation to the personal circumstances of an individual.

The sequencing question
In Mr. Ali’s case, Mr. Malik argued that the refusal to vary leave and the removal decision itself were two distinct decisions and that the first decision made on 7 July 2014, which gave rise to an in-country right of appeal, could not be invalidated by a previous removal decision.

The Appellants, both nationals of Pakistan had made applications to extend their student visas prior to the expiration of their leave. The Secretary of State refused their applications and invalidated their existing leave by service of removal decisions under section 10 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. Both Appellants lodged judicial review claims challenging the removal decisions.

In an email to the Independent, a Home Office spokesperson said: "The Government continues to tackle abuse of our immigration system and protect the reputation of our world class education institutions.

The right to an in-country of appeal where a removal decision has been made at the same time a person’s leave has been invalidated by the Secretary of State under s.10 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
The circumstances where it would be appropriate for a matter to be dealt with by way of judicial review if there is a right to only an out-of-country of appeal and
Whether the sequence of the decisions invalidating leave and refusing an application for leave has a bearing on whether a person is entitled to an in-country right of appeal.
Mr Mehmood

In a letter dated 7 July 2014 served on Mr. Ali on 11 August 2014, he received removal notices. The letter referred to ‘the earlier section 10 removal decision’. The removal decision had been served on Mr. Ali two minutes before the letter refusing his leave to remain was served. Mr. Malik, counsel for the appellants argued that because the date on the letter refusing his application was 7 July 2014, this decision was made before the decision to curtail his leave. He was therefore entitled to an in-country right of appeal.

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.

The Court of Appeal’s analysis
The section 10 question
Mr. Malik argued that there was a difference between leave given by the Secretary of State under section 3 of the 1971 Act and leave that was automatically extended under 3C of the same Act. He contended that this was because the Secretary of State in the latter situation was not free to extend or curtail this leave and that Parliament would not have intended the Secretary of State to have the power to invalidate an automatic extension of leave under section 3C through a section 10 removal decision. Counsel also relied on section 47 of the Immigration and Nationality Act 2006 which makes provision for the removal of persons with leave extended under section 3C of the 1971 Act but does not provide that a removal direction under it invalidates a person’s leave.
