Hi every body
I'm a LLB student graduated in "Islamic Azad University " In Iran and I'm preaparing myself to apply for the Fall 2010 semester,for LLM in USA. Do you think it is better to take the IBT over the PBT? In other words which form of the TOEFL test is more preferable for American Universtity?

IBT without a doubt.

I took the PBT and I have been admitted at various US universities so far (including top schools). So I don't think sitting the IBT rather than the PBT will give you an edge for your applications. In both case tough be sure to meet the minimum requirements set by the institutions you will apply to.

I think you had better take IBT, not because Admission office prefer IBT score but because you can learn practical English more by preparing to take IBT.

Dear friend

basically there is no important difference between them but i think pbt is easier for you. for one thing bcoz some universities, specially high rank universities not only determine minimum for over all score in the ibt but also determine a minimum for each section. for example 100 ( each section at least 24). pbt has not any minimum in each section though. for another pbt is pretty easier than ibt. but i strongly recomment you to do ibt bcoz of the resean that my friend, kazu said in last post.
