Is it necessary for me to take a TOFEL test


Is it necessary for me to take a TOFEL test?
I understand TOEFLs are very important for non native speakers who would like to work in the States or Great Britain and so on. Well I was born in Austin, Texas and I lived there for 7 years, and until this day I think in English and I am very comfortable with English. I wanted to take part in the Cambridge test in Switzerland but my teacher said it wouldn't be necessary for me because English is practically my first language. But I don't look like somebody who has English as theor first language and my name doesn't sound english either, would it bring problems for me if I don't take such a test?

Most US residents (and citizens from first world English-speaking countries) don't need the TOEFL exam. As long as you completed your high school in the English language, you're good to go.

If your High School is in english, then you dont need to take the TOEFL.
