TOEFL is a standard examination for English language. All colleges in America are taught in English. So you must prove to the college that you have good writing and speaking skills in English. The TOEFL exam demonstrates your ability to do well in English only classes. American universities will ask you for your TOEFL scores.

Toefl testing is something worth studying for, from what I hear, even if you just do so to brush up on your grammar. A better score will be more impressive to a good university. I work on the weekends as a Toefl ibt proctor, so I know what happens during the test. When you come in, you fill out a paper about your results, then you're checked in by a proctor. They check your ID/ passport and probably take your picture. then you are seated and given 3 pieces of paper and a pencil for your use. You do the reading portion first usually, then comes listening. Then I think you get your 10 minute break. Then you get checked back in (so remember your passport if you leave the room for your break), speaking, then writing are done. The trickiest part is usually the speaking, because you really must speak loudly and clearly. It might be embarrassing but it's worth it to speak loudly so you don't have to repeat the test due to a poor speaking score. Hopefully this is helpful!
