Hi, I’m a high school student (will graduate next year) and I’ve just been told that I will have to write the TOEFL exam. I’ve been in Canada for 2 years now. Because of this I have to write the TOEFL. (universities require 4 years in an english speaking country to be exempt from taking the test)However, I have been speaking English all my life, in fact it’s the only language I speak. Why should I have to prove my English speaking capabilities just because I attended a school (which by the way was an ‘American school’) in a country where English is not the dominant language? Should I just suck it up and write the test (which I will have to pay for), or do you think it’s worthwhile trying to get an exemption?
i would take them time to bitch to the appropriate authorities on this one. that’s bullshit. i’m sure they won’t make you write the test. and if they do, tell i said they suck.
cheers,
