Why are you preparing to take the TOEFL test? (Use reasons)

   I'm preparing to take the TOEFL test because I want to get a grade recognized by ETS to pursue studies abroad. Fist of all, I´m going to apply for a scholarship sponsored by the Japanese government, and it's trascendental to have taken the iBT TOEFL by the time I the qualifying examination. In addition, it is expected from me to have a good grade in this test before entering to most of Japanese universities, and it becomes even more important since I plan to take an English-spoken undergraduate program in Japan. Finally, I am preparing for the TOEFL test because I know it is going to be very important in my future higher education.
