A new TOEFL test will be introduced in September 2005. The Next Generation TOEFL will be delivered on the Internet at official test centers worldwide.

There will be four sections-Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. Examinees will be allowed to take notes and use the notes to answer test questions.

Each section will be scored on a scale of 0-30 points, for a total of 120 points. The Writing and Speaking sections will be evaluated by expert raters.

The Computer-Based TOEFL will be discontinued when the Next Generation TOEFL is introduced. Although a Paper-Based TOEFL will still be offered at test centers where an Internet-Based test is not practical, the Next Generation version of the Paper-Based TOEFL will include all four sections-Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking.
