All schools require the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). See the English as a Second Language section for additional information about the TOEFL.
Schools may also require tests of general academic preparation, such as the SAT or ACT, and field-specific tests such as the Achievement Tests.
All of these tests are standardized, multiple choice tests, written in English. If you do not have a high degree of English proficiency, you will not do well on these tests, no matter how strong your academic background.
About one month after the examination, your scores will be sent to the institutions you specified on the application form. It will take an additional two to four weeks for you to receive your copy of the score report, so it is best to not wait to see the scores before sending them to the schools to which you have applied.
