BSMQ SKILLED PROGRAM

The Queensland State Nomination Skilled Program from 26 November 2019 (from 1.30pm AEST) is NOW CLOSED for:

• Skilled Nominated (Permanent) visa (subclass 190) 

EOIs submitted after this date and time WILL NOT be considered. 

Now your clients can download the TOEFL® Official App through the Apple App Store® or Google Play™. The app will offer similar features to students’ TOEFL iBT® online accounts, including:

• Test Registration — search for “test centers near me” and find open seats in a two-month period
• Test Prep — purchase comprehensive guides and link to free practice material, including a full-length practice test and TOEFL Insider’s Guide online course
• Scores — view score reports from all valid test administrations, including MyBest™ scores
• Disability Accommodations — submit requests for disability or health-related needs accommodations and view the status of current and past requests

“We are continuing to identify meaningful ways to transform the TOEFL test experience for clients and organisations,” said ETS’s Srikant Gopal, Executive Director of the TOEFL Program. “The TOEFL app meets students where they are by providing them with a convenient and streamlined way to access many components of the test experience on their mobile devices, from registration and test prep through score delivery.”
