Is Toefl Powerful?

<p>Lets say I god 550 on Critical reading in SAT.
Would high toefl score help cover this?</p>

<p>At least not in the good schools. The vice versa could work though. i.e. SAT recovering for TOEFL.</p>

<p>No
10 chars</p>

<p>The TOEFL's very important though.</p>

<p>No they arent - most schools dont even care.. I dont think a single friend of mine has actually spent more than 5 minutes studying for a TOEFL exam.. If you can understand the English thats written on these message boards, you don't need to do a damn thing for TOEFL... You can't even compare the difficulty to the SATs...</p>

<p>No, it is very important to get a good score though. Like at least over 250. Colleges DO look at that. I've been in contact with a lot of admissions people, and they really find it important.</p>

<p>If you can read and comprehend whats being written on the forum, you will definitely get above a 250 without a single minute of preparation...</p>

<p>Yeah, but you'd be surprised at the amount of international students universities get that are way below 250. Don't assume everyone's English is as good as yours or mine.</p>

<p>They didn't require TOEFL scores from me. I hadn't even heard of it till last year lol</p>
