Hi everyone,

I am planning to apply for an LLM in the States, starting in September 2010, which means applying in November/December. I haven't taken the TOEFL yet and I was wondering if there is any kind of time limit, is it not too late if I take it in August or Semptember?

Another thing, I have a Cambridge CPE certificate - can anyone tell me what's the difficulty of the TOEFL compared to that?

Thanx for your help!

I've taken the TOEFL test in Paris the 17th of October. That was the latest date that allowed me to apply to all schools with deadlines 1 December through LSAC. But in fact it was too late.

If you take it in August or September, you will be fine though.

The TOEFL test isn't too difficult. Getting 100 on it is really easy. If you're profound in English, you can get 115+ (max is 120).

Thanx, Santa, that's a huge relief.

I agree with Santa. I would like to add that you should train on sample TOEFL questions because they are quite special (especially the speaking and writing parts, in which you have to be extremely quick). But indeed, if you have a good level of English, one or two days training should be largely enough.
