ETS中国独家授权版本，新托福考生的必备权威辅导书托福考试（TestofEnglish as aForeignlanguage，简称TOEFL）由美国教育考试服务中心（Educational Testing Service，简称ETS）开发，用于测试母语为非英语的考生在校园环境中理解和使用英语的能力。目前全球各地约有4500多所二年制和四年制大专院校、职业学校和相关机构要求学生入学时提供托福考试成绩。托福成绩在很多院校已成为是否授予学生奖学金的重要依据。自1964年举行以来，已有1750万人次参加了这一考试。2005年9月，ETS在全球推出新托福考试，并从2006年9月起在中国实施。新托福考试模拟北美校园的真实语言环境，将听、说、读、写四部分有机结合在一起，全面考查考生的语言技能和沟通能力。新托福考试通过互联网进行（即Intemet-BasedTest，缩写为iBT），采取机考形式，考试时间和各部分试题数目都是固定的。但该考试不采用计算机出题的方式，即题目难度与上一题回答是否正确无关。除了网考，新托福考试的独特性还表现在分数的测评体系上6新托福的分数报告不再只停留在报告考生的英语水平和各单项语言技能的成绩上，同时还会通过提供一个诊断报告让考生本人和接收院校了解考生的英语语言学习要求。新托福四项技能的分数范围都是在0～30分以内（满分为120分），并按级别递进，针对每一个级别还会有一个详细的分数说明。
