<p>"Who Should Take the TOEFL Test?
Nonnative English speakers at the 11th-grade level or above should take the TOEFL test to provide evidence of their English proficiency before beginning academic work. The test content is considered too difficult for students below 11th grade.</p>
<p>Many institutions report that they frequently do not require TOEFL test scores of certain kinds of international applicants. These include</p>
<p>nonnative speakers who hold degrees or diplomas from postsecondary institutions in English-speaking countries (e.g., the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand)
nonnative speakers who have successfully completed at least a two-year course of study in which English was the language of instruction
transfer students from institutions in the United States or Canada whose academic course work was favorably evaluated in relation to its demands and duration
nonnative speakers who have taken the TOEFL test within the past two years
nonnative speakers who have successfully pursued academic work at schools where English was the language of instruction in an English-speaking country for a specified period, generally two years
Students should contact their prospective institutions directly concerning their specific admission requirements."</p>
<p>all in all, it really depends on the institution you're applying to.</p>
<p>because india was once a british colony so i would assume that there is still a lot of english influence today, thus would apply to ajay's "international student with english instructions throughout secondary school" situation</p>
<p>besides, i was kind of answering what RealM (do not know if he/she is indian) asked although i didn't quote him/her</p>
<p>anyhow, why are you being so stingy about the section i highlighted....it's merely for reference
i posted the whole waiver criteria there didn't i?
people don't only have to read the highlighted section!</p>
<p>Come on she isnt being stingy she is merely stating the fact that the part relating to the Indians should also have been highlighted which was the main purpose of this thread. As it is you didnt quote RealM. </p>
<p>This is sounding too weird for me. I have already taken the toefl Ibt, though english has been the language of instruction in my school since Nursery! As for nepalese students, it is a must to take the toefl, as my seniors told me. Better for you people if u don't have to do the sat, because 140$" OOOf!"</p>
<p>while I was at high school,our scince lessons were in English.but others were in Kyrgyz language.do u think we can count it as a school with language instructions of English.besides that we had lessons in turkish and russian laguages..</p>
