Back to your answers

The purpose of this test is to make you aware that it may be easier to study in the United States than you had thought. So if your TOEFL score is not high enough, or you do not have enough money to pay for all the expenses of your education, there are schools and universities that can accommodate you. You just need to find them. Good resources in your country to get more information on American universities are libraries, the American consulate or embassy, the U.S. Information Service (USIS), academic advisors in colleges and universities, and agencies that specialize in Study Abroad programs.
