Which of the following countries is exempt from the TOEFL requirement?

The United Kingdom is typically exempt from the TOEFL requirement for students whose primary language is English, as the education system in the UK is conducted in English. Many universities in the United States recognize the educational qualifications from English-speaking countries, allowing students from the UK to demonstrate their proficiency in English through their prior education rather than standardized tests like the TOEFL. This exemption acknowledges that students from the UK have already studied in an environment where English is the primary language. Other countries listed, such as France, Germany, and Japan, generally do not have this same level of English language immersion in their education systems, thus students from these countries may still be required to demonstrate English proficiency through tests like TOEFL.
