<p>Hi! I am not sure which is the best place to ask this question, please advise if I've came to the wrong part of forum..! (& I apologize in advance) </p>
<p>So I came to U.S. 5 years ago in middle school without knowing any English.. and now I am an upcoming senior in high school. </p>
<p>I am looking at some colleges' websites which tell me that taking the TOEFL is an option. My SAT is 2120 with 670 in CR. Not sure what kind of score I would get in TOEFL. But I am trying out ACT since I am in a SAT exhaust state.. so should I take TOEFL? Will that help/hurt my application? </p>
<p>Since you get a 2120 in SAT, there is definitely no reason for you to take TOEFL. As a test for non-native English speakers, TOEFL is much more easier than SAT. I think your SAT score has represented your language skills pretty well. Anyway, taking TOEFL won’t hurt you as long as you get a 100+(110+ for safety).</p>
<p>There’s typically no need to take the sat if you have 650cr. However contact the admission office at each school you’re considering, indicating your sat cr score. Ni any case the toefl would not pose any pb if required.</p>
<p>Some schools will waive the TOEFL if you attend an English speaking high school. You should ask each school that you plan to apply to because the requirements are extremely variable.</p>
<p>If you don’t have to take it, don’t. It’s not something that’s really going to help your application chances.</p>
<p>Each college and university sets its own policy about the TOEFL. You really do need to look at each and every website. If you can’t find the information readily, you need to contact the admissions office and ask.</p>
<p>Yes, it is a drag, but if you don’t ask, you might learn very late in the game that the TOEFL, IELTS, or another English proficiency exam is absolutely required for students like you.</p>
