Has anyone ever heard of a special Asian TOEFL test?
I have a student telling me that his TOEFL exam preparation teacher told him that there is a special Asian or Chinese version of the test that is supposed to be easier.

Has anyone heard this before? I am especially interested in a student from China who has taken this test in the last 3 months.

Answer

I have actually taught exam prep for TOEIC before.

Thank you for the information. I will inform my student that the school he is attending is "blowing smoke"

Answer

I am an examiner for ETS (Educational Testing Services). ETS administers the TOEFL test.  I think he may be talking about the TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) test.  If you want more info about the test let me know.  The TOEIC test is used by universities as well as employers. It is easier compared to the TOEFL but it is not that easy to pass.  There are 6 components to the test whereas the TOEFL only has 4.

Dear
