TOEFL iBT® Special Home Edition
To meet the needs of students who are unable to take the TOEFL iBT® test at a test center due to public health concerns, ETS is temporarily offering the TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition. The test is identical in content, format and on-screen experience to the TOEFL iBT test taken at a test center. It is taken on your own computer at home and is monitored by a human proctor online through ProctorU®. At home administrations are currently available around the clock 4 days a week, through September 30, 2020. Appointments may be available as early as 24 hours after you register.
Am I Eligible for This Test?
If you are eligible to take the test at home, based on the country of your account address, you will see the "Special Home Edition test" option as you begin your registration.
