Hi,

I have taken TOEFL iBT on Aug 28th, 2010 and got a score of 110. I am applying for Sep 2012. Do I need to give the test once again? I have been hearing that score should be valid on the date of joining the school.

Please clarify.

Thanks
Shankaran

Dear Shankaran,

Great question. TOEFL scores are valid for 2 years. The question is where the school draws the line on that 2 years. Is it at the date of entry? or is it at the date of application? Unfortunately, there is not consistency on that answer. I would suggest verifying with any school you apply to if your score will be valid.

Good luck,
Lisa

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
