Can I reschedule my TOEFL exam again, even though I've already done so three times?

A common worry among repeat reschedulers is that ETS tracks a maximum number of changes and will eventually block further rescheduling. That is not what ETS's own published guidance says.

What ETS Actually Requires

• Deadline: You must reschedule at least 4 full days before your currently booked test date.
• Method: Rescheduling is done through your ETS account online, not by emailing ETS or visiting the test centre.
• Fee: ETS currently lists USD 69 for a TOEFL iBT reschedule, though the exact amount shown at checkout can vary by testing location and local taxes.
• No disqualifying limit: Nothing in ETS's current published information treats three prior reschedules as a reason to refuse a fourth.

What Happens If You Miss the 4-Day Window

If you try to reschedule inside the 4-day deadline, ETS generally will not process the change, and your test fee becomes non-refundable and non-transferable for that sitting. This is the real constraint to plan around, not a hidden reschedule-count limit.

Why Repeated Rescheduling Is Still Worth Avoiding

Even without an official cap, repeatedly pushing your test date delays every downstream step, including university application deadlines that require a submitted TOEFL score. Treat the fee and the 4-day rule as your only hard constraints, but plan your study timeline so a fourth reschedule genuinely isn't needed.

My Advice

Before rescheduling a fourth time, check your target universities' application deadlines against your new test date, since a score arriving even a few days late can knock you out of a round. In my experience, students who reschedule repeatedly are usually not test-ready yet, so pair this reschedule with a realistic study plan rather than just buying more time.
