Common usage vs. acronym

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Which name do you want (TOEFL or spelled out)? Angela and I have differing opinoins on this. One is that we should use the abbreviated version, as that is what most people remember and call the test in common usage. The other opinion is that it acronyms should be spelled out. We'll keep it with the common usage for now, as that's how it started, but feedback's appreciated.

I think the abreviation should be used as it is what people are familiar with. Chocolateluvr88 00:18, 10 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Report card

Latest comment: 5 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

TOEFL is very important to Korean students who want to study abroad because they submit report card to their University on time. However, TOEFL institution doesn't send the report card in time which they promise. Like this, if they do that, students do not go study abroad. Why do TOEFL institution do so? This is fixed immediately.--Bohyunlee (talk) 14:48, 23 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Please note that ETS (the makers of TOEFL) almost certainly do not read this page. Furthermore, per Wikipedia rules, this page cannot be used as a forum to discuss the subject; it's only purpose is discuss ways to improve the article. You'll have to find another website to complain about ETS practices on. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:54, 24 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

The article needs a section about score reporting. ... PeterEasthope (talk) 13:24, 17 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi all, sorry for not repairing the links right away, but today I won't be able to search for a good replacement. I hope it helps that I am indicating the broken links here. Is there a bot that I can alert to them? It's these two references:
