TOEFL is the only English- language test which is accepted by more than 6,000 institutions in more than 130 countries. There are two types of tests: the TOEFL iBT, which is the internet-based test, as well as the TOEFL PBT, the paper-based test //**  ||
 * || sally   ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   ||  Oh really. That is very interesting?   ||
 * Maria ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// Tell us about your tool? //**  ||
 * || Maria  ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// There are a number of reasons why someone should take the TOEFL test. //**  ||
 * || Marios    ||   ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Ok hold up... I’m doing TOEIC, eleni is doing eskill... sally and maria are doing what?  ||
 * || Maria  ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// TOEFL //**  ||
 * || Maria  ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// sally is doing Nepton //**  ||
 * || (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   ||  NEPTON was designed and developed by Information Technology (IT) Online Test Specialists at the University of Nicosia. It was created in specifically for 2nd language learners to test their Grammar, vocabulary and reading competence.   ||
 * (*)sally(*) ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   ||  I think Maria's test and mine have more in common   ||
 * (*)sally(*) ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   ||  because they are both online tests   ||
 * || (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   ||  apart that NEPTON is solely for the UNIVERSITY of NICOSIA   ||
 * Maria ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// my test is a worldwide test //**  ||
 * || eleni  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  My test refers to employment and business   ||
 * || Maria  ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// What is it about? Why we must take your test? //**  ||
 * || eleni  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Mine, yes it has. It is a test applied mainly for business and concerns how you possess the English language and how capable you are for the particular working position   ||
 * eleni ||   ||  Maria, Marios, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  how about yours?   ||
 * Maria ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// It is a test which measures the ability of a foreigner speaker to communicate in English in the colleges or universities.

There are two types of tests: the TOEFL IBT, which is the internet-based test, as well as the TOEFL PBT, the paper-based test //**  ||
 * || (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** Well mine, was designed and developed by the Information Technology (IT) Online Test Specialists at the University of Nicosia. It was created in specifically for 2nd language learners to test their Grammar, vocabulary and reading competence. **  ||
 * Sally ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** but my is merely for students **  ||
 * || Maria, Marios, eleni   ||   || ** i think Maria's and Eleni's test is not only for students of a particular UNI **  ||
 * eleni ||   ||  Maria, Marios, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Mine is mainly for adults   ||
 * || (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** what do you think Marie? **  ||
 * || Maria  ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// MY TEST IS FOR EVERY STUDENT //**  ||
 * Maria ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// F //****// OR EVERY TEST TAKER //**  ||
 * || Maria  ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// The test should be taken by someone who has the intention to register in an English speaking college or university around the world as it is accepted in almost every university in the USA, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. //**  ||
 * (*)sally(*) ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** That is interesting..NEPTON is compulsory for all the forthcoming students of the University. The reason of this is because the test will determine the English level of the students in order, to locate the level they should be placed. NEPTON test is only available at the University of Nicosia and it is specifically only for the University students. **  ||
 * || Maria  ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// so eleni tell us about yours //**  ||
 * || eleni  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  It is applied mainly for people who want to work in a company...   ||
 * eleni ||   ||  Maria, Marios, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  The aim is a better communication between the employers and employees...   ||
 * || Maria  ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// Nice. My test is accepted by more than 6 000 colleges and universities in more than 130 countries. //****// YOURS? //**  ||
 * eleni ||   ||  Maria, Marios, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  it is a validated test and can be taken online   ||
 * Marios ||   ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  so anyway... from what I understand my test has more in common with eleni's   ||
 * Marios ||   ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  and sally's and Maria’s have more in common with each other   ||
 * Marios ||   ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  basically mine and eleni's are for business situations and test English proficiency in the workplace   ||
 * || eleni  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  but also it is suitable for everyone who would like to test his language abilities   ||
 * Maria ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// I AGREE our tests are for students. The only difference is that sally's is only for the students of the university of Nicosia but mine is for everyone. //**  ||
 * Marios ||   ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  yeap.... so basically sally's test is useless :)   ||
 * || (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** The NEPTON test is a multiple – choice test that takes round – about 70 minutes to be completed. The test is marked by the computer; meaning that the questions are selected without human intervention by the computer from a range of questions. For this reason, every student’s test may to some extent differ. Furthermore, the test is marked by the program and the correct answers are automatically saved **  ||
 * || (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** wat bout yours ** **  Marie??? **  ||
 * || (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** aham? **  ||
 * Marios  ||   ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  ok useless was a joke calm down   ||
 * || Marios    ||   ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  I meant it's only for unic students so not very widespread   ||
 * (*)sally(*) ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** By the way whose is it an online test and whose is it paperwork? **  ||
 * || Marios    ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  whereas the others can be taken by more people so have more uses and are recognised in more institutions   ||


 * (*)sally(*) ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** I think Maria’s s both **  ||
 * || eleni  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  mine is mainly online   ||
 * Marios   ||   ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  mine is both too... it's split into two tests, TOEIC Listening and Reading test and the TOEIC Speaking and Writing test. The first one is a traditional pen and paper exam and the second one is an online test.   ||
 * sally  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** hmm mine is only online **  ||


 * Maria ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// There are two types of tests: the TOEFL iBT, which is the internet-based test, as well as the TOEFL PBT, the paper-based test //**  ||
 * Marios   ||   ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  they can be taken on their own or together   ||
 * Marios  ||   ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  and they generate a speaker proficiency score   ||
 * || (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** so is Marias **** .. **  ||
 * (*)sally(*) ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** Do you think these tests are demanding? **  ||


 * || (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** In my opinion, NEPTON is simple enough for everyone to understand because it is an undemanding and a user friendly test without many complications. **  ||
 * || (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** the test is to determine the English level of the students in order, to locate the level they should be placed; for this reason it is not us demanding us other tests **  ||
 * || Marios    ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  I suppose my one is more demanding because it's up to the learner to get across what they know, because the questions are open-ended   ||
 * Maria ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// I mean you have to speak the English language very well //**  ||
 * (*)sally(*) ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** I think mine is the easiest because it is a multiple choice **  ||
 * || Marios    ||   ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  they respond spontaneously and especially to the oral one and it's not multiple choice   ||
 * Marios   ||   ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  ok so yours is a standardised test whereas my one is an alternative test   ||
 * || eleni  ||   ||  Maria, Marios, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||   And I'll have to go sorry   ||


 * Maria ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// In iBT: The reading part consists of 3-5 passages, each of 700 words length, with 12-14 questions per passage. The listening part consists of 4-6 lectures, each one containing 6 questions as well as of 2-3 conversations, which contain 5 questions each. The speaking consists of 6 tasks including 2 tasks to express your opinion on a familiar topic and 4 tasks based on what is read and heard. //****// T //**  ||
 * (*)sally(*) ||   ||  Maria, Marios, eleni  ||   || ** what do they mean? **  ||


 * || Marios    ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  ermm apparently standardised means multiple choice, true/false, short comprehension tests I think... basically anything where there's a strict right or wrong answer   ||
 * Marios   ||   ||  Maria, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  alternative is testing what people know in situations and in context, usually longer and more open   ||
 * Maria ||   ||  Marios, eleni, (*)sally(*)  ||   || **// TOEFL //****//  is very demanding and people study for a long time for the TOEFL exams //**  ||

||
 * Marios   ||   ||  Maria, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  Which tool do you think is the most useful and helpful?   ||
 * sally  ||   ||  Maria, Marios    ||   || ** eeerm mine **  ||
 * Marios   ||   ||   ||  Maria, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||  yours is useless    J     ||
 * (*)sally(*) ||   ||  Maria, Marios    ||   || **  no really I think TOEFL is far the best  **
 * Marios   ||   ||  Maria, (*)sally(*)  ||   ||   well TOEFL is used all over the world   ||
