Hi Jlee,
If you are an international student, you will be required to take the English language exam. (You can be exempt from the exam if you go to Sandra and tell her that you're either (a) a native English speaker, (b) studied in an English speaking country for 4 year for your undergrad.)
From what I recall, most of my classmates had to take the exam. (We were all confused why we had to take the language exam if we had sufficient TOEFL scores). My classmates said that the hardest part of the exam was listening into the phone and reiterating what they heard. If you don't pass, it's really no problem. The department/Grad Studies make you attend a language class one night per week where you work on your English. Two of my classmates had to take this.
As an international student, expect to take the exam. If, for some reason (eg. budget cuts), they decide not to do it this year, be happy!
