About iBT:

     The Internet Based Test of English as a Foreign Language (iBT) is the new generation TOEFL. It is the 3rd generation of the TOEFL that REDSTAR is providing. The iBT is about as cutting edge as a proficiency test gets. With a radically new platform and futuristic test delivery, the iBT is the most exciting thing to happen to the world of exam testing in decades.
The iBT is substantially different from the CBT (Computer Based Toefl) in that it has an ‘integrated’ testing platform. This new platform integrates linguistic skills in an environ that is a close replication of the classroom atmosphere.

     The purpose of this new innovation in testing is to give score receivers a better idea of how well speakers of other languages will do in an academic setting where English is the first language.
However, all the modules of the TOEFL have not been ‘integrated’. Students are only expected to show the skills of integrating different sources of information in the ‘Writing’ and ‘Speaking’ Sections.        

       The iBT has been introduced in Nepal in April 2006 and has immediately impacted the testing environment in Nepal. All universities that accepted CBT scores will continue giving validity to CBT scores till they expire and will also accept iBT scores from students in Nepal who have given this new test post April 2006. The is also no cost rise in the administration of the iBT with a reasonable cost of $140.
