Direct answers
Apostrophe Academy provides TOEFL iBT preparation for students in Saudi Arabia and the GCC, covering Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing, with practice in the digital test format and in the integrated tasks that combine more than one skill.
TOEFL iBT is an internet-based test of academic English made up of four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. Scores are issued by ETS, which owns the test and is the official reference for its conditions and dates.
Students applying to English-taught programs that require proof of language level, especially universities that list TOEFL among the accepted certificates. Always check the accepted certificate on the university's official admissions page.

Checklists
Common mistakes
Each of the four sections is scored separately and the section scores add up to one total. Universities usually publish a minimum total, and some add a minimum for a specific section — most often Speaking or Writing.
So we start from the university's requirement rather than a generic number: identify the score needed, compare it with the initial assessment, then weight preparation towards the sections that move the total most.

None of these steps commits you to anything, and we do not ask for payment before the recommended path is clear to you.
Tell us your name, your study stage, your goal, and the deadline you are working towards if you have one. Every WhatsApp button on the site reaches the same center number.
A short conversation to understand where you are and what you are aiming at: what you have already tried, how much time you have, and what this track actually measures.
You take a placement that specifically includes the integrated tasks, since these are the part that surprises most students in TOEFL.
We summarise what we recommend and why, and what the alternative is if this track is not the right fit — including the possibility that you do not need the service right now.
Student stories
We publish student stories only with their name and written consent, and we state an outcome only when it is documented by an official score report or admission letter held by the center.
We would rather leave this space empty than write testimonials on anyone's behalf. It stays empty until a student shares their own story and permits us to publish their name and documented outcome.

FAQ
Both are widely recognised proficiency tests, but acceptance and minimum scores are set by the program or university and must be checked on its official source.
TOEFL is an academic English proficiency test. You need it when a university or organisation asks you to evidence your ability to study in English and accepts TOEFL specifically.
Both measure the four skills, but the question style differs: TOEFL relies heavily on integrated tasks and on speaking to a device, while IELTS includes a spoken interview with an examiner. In practice the choice is decided by what your university accepts, then by which format suits you.
Usually yes. Speaking to a device within a fixed time is a trainable skill, and we focus on it because it is one of the sections where students lose marks for non-language reasons.
