其實幾多歲過去最合適呢？

The best time is to commence at Grade 9. You will have a transcript of all your results in high school for the admission officer 's consideration.

亞囡報咗考Toefl，看見坊間有好多教考Toefl的課程，但沒有讀過，請問Toefl 的考試過程是怎樣的呢？

上官方網站www.toefl.org, 很多資料都一目了然.   此外, 要去美國升學, www.collegeboard.org也是必看, college search裏頭, 不單可以查到四年制大學資料, 兩年制的community college也可以搜尋到.

我也贊成唸完初中才出去。

我們家第三代全都到外國讀大學，主要是希望他們眼界開闊些，讀的大學好一些，生活有趣一些，人也變得獨立一些，少一點王子病，公主病。但過早把孩子送走，有三個弊端，和父母的關係可能會較疏離，中文可能會丢掉，香港學生數學方面的優勢可能會失去。相反，讀完中學才走也有弊端，英文要去掉HK accent會較難(見不少英文較差的學生，去完英國讀大學英文重差咗)，要入頂尖大學如oxbridge也會較難。

所以去外國唸高中是較佳的方案。

my son took the tofel in Dec 2014, he said it is not really very difficult, so don't think it is required to attend any pre-training that...good luck.

一般來說，不理會費用的話，除了classics同專業課程，我看不到英國讀大學比到美國讀大學優勝的地方。有趣的 ...

有一事想請教，本來替女兒報了3月28日的Toefl 試，但昨天3月26日收到Toefl 的e-mail,説取消了28日的考試，要求我們另選日期再考，但上網查看時，發現最近的日期已去到6月14日，請問這個情形是否應該轉考IELTS ? IELTS 會比較 Toefl 難考嗎？謝謝！

Thank you for your information! I have check with the college, they accept IELTS either, and the earliest date to take the test is 11-4-2015. Do you have any ideas about which will be easier?Toefl or IELTS ?

If you want to obtain 100 or above with each component not less than 25 inTOFEL or 7 or above in IETLS with each component not less tha 7, the difficulty is similar.

I can only speak from my daughters' experience. One took Ielts for pcll application and the other took TOEFL for going to the USA. Ielts is closer to hkdse in the approach while TOEFL will test more on grammar, style and vocabulary and thus need different preparation.
If you are concerned, why not take both?
