Does Cambridge accept the TOEFL?

Hi guys, I was just wondering if any of you know whether Cambridge accepts the TOEFL as a fulfillment of the English language requirements. The IELTS and the CPE weren't offered until too late where I am, and so I took the TOEFL instead.

Thank you for your help!

what do you mean "weren't offered until too late " ?

It may also be that the delay in getting a seat to suit the IELTS or CPE was too long. From experience it is much harder to find a place to sit the IELTS (usually at the British Council) than for the TOEFL.

The TOEFL is a pile of cack though. It covers very few language skills and is more a way of seeing if people can sit inside a lecture and register most of what is being said. For a lot of courses, this is sufficient but for many others, it means you have people who can't actually communicate in English and for those courses, that might be quite important.

That's right.



I've applied for Philosophy, so proving that I'm able of communicating effectively in English is most likely extremely important. However, I'm hoping that my high SAT verbal scores (780 in Critical Reading and 790 in Writing) and my 6 in IB A1 HL English will cover for whatever is not appropriately tested in the TOEFL.

I just hope that Cambridge sees it my way!
