Prof. Dr. Oğurlu thanked the English Preparatory School Coordinator Ms. Müge Çetinkaya and the academicians who contributed to the opening of the center.
The TOEFL test, which is administered to measure the American English knowledge of non-native speakers, is considered equivalent to the foreign language exams administered by ÖSYM (Student Selection and Placement Center) of Turkey. TOEFL is held by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) headquartered in New Jersey, U.S. in many centers around the world. It is used by colleges and universities that provide education in English around the world as an admission criterion for undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students whose mother tongue is not English. TOEFL assesses students’ English level based on four basic skills, namely reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
TOEFL IBT (internet-based test) test appointments can be made 24 hours a day and 7 days a week ONLY from the ETS website available at the following link: https://v2.ereg.ets.org/ereg/public/jump?_p=TEL
