Because it was developed specific to measure the types of English used in the global workplace, the TOEIC test measures many levels of ability. It enables people to demonstrate what they currently can accomplish in English .

Many companies use the TOEIC test to set their own standards and nay require the employees have a certain minimum TOEIC score because the corresponding level English is needed on the job. Language schools use TOEIC test scores to assess the English proficiency of examines for placement or to assess their progress in English.

Therefore, the design, content, context, and ranges of proficiency that each test measures are also different. The TOEFL test was created by ETS for foreign students seeking admission to colleges and universities in North America. Students planning to pursue undergraduate or graduate degrees in North America will wish to take the TOEFL test. Organizations that document employee English proficiency and individuals who want to demonstrate their ability to use English in the global workplace will prefer to use the TOEIC test.
