TOEFL Registration Fee: Modes of Payment
Common modes of payment accepted by ETS (Educational Testing Service) for TOEFL registration fees include:
1. Credit or Debit Card: Most commonly accepted credit and debit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are usually accepted for online payment during the registration process.
2. PayPal: In some regions, PayPal may be accepted as a payment option for TOEFL registration fees.
3. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT): In certain countries, ETS may offer electronic funds transfer as a payment method. This involves transferring funds directly from your bank account to ETS.
4. Bank Transfer: Some regions may allow payment via bank transfer. This involves transferring the registration fee directly from your bank account to ETS' designated bank account.
5. Money Order or Bank Draft: In specific cases, ETS may accept payment by money order or bank draft. To do so, you must purchase a money order or bank draft from a financial institution and mail it to ETS along with your registration form.
TOEFL Cancellation/Rescheduling Fee
Here's a general overview:
1. Cancellation Fee: You may be subject to a cancellation fee if you need to cancel your TOEFL registration. This fee typically ranges from INR 5k to 20k, depending on how far in advance of your scheduled test date you cancel. The closer you are to the test date, the higher the cancellation fee will likely be.
2. Rescheduling Fee: You may be charged a fee if you need to change your TOEFL test date or test centre. This fee also varies but is generally lower than the cancellation fee. It typically ranges from INR 5k to 12k.
It's important to note that these fees are subject to change, so it's best to check the most up-to-date information on the official ETS TOEFL website or contact ETS directly for details regarding cancellation and rescheduling fees for your specific situation.
TOEFL Home Edition: Registration Process
In response to the ongoing pandemic and the challenges it poses for test-takers, ETS has introduced the Special Home Edition of the TOEFL test. This option allows candidates to take the TOEFL exam from the comfort and safety of their own homes. With many TOEFL test centres operating at reduced capacities or temporarily closed due to lockdowns, the TOEFL Home Version provides a convenient alternative for students.
The TOEFL at Home version maintains all the essential attributes of the traditional test, ensuring that candidates receive accurate and reliable assessments of their English language proficiency. The registration fee for the TOEFL Home Version remains unchanged at INR16,900, making it an accessible option for test-takers.
To participate in the TOEFL at Home test, candidates must meet specific system requirements and have access to the necessary equipment. The official ETS website provides detailed information and tutorials on accessing the test, ensuring that candidates are well-prepared for the test-taking experience.
By offering the TOEFL Home Version, ETS aims to make the test more accessible to candidates while prioritising their health and safety during these challenging times.
