When should I take the TOEFL exam if I want to join the November intake?
27 Aug 2026 · Answered by Mohit Tanna · 1 min read
You should take the TOEFL exam at least 2 - 3 months before your earliest application deadline for the November intake. For most universities, this means aiming to complete the TOEFL by June or early July, allowing time for score reporting and any needed retakes.
TOEFL iBT tests are offered year-round, with multiple dates each month. The Home Edition is also available for added flexibility.
TOEFL scores are valid for 2 years, so ensure your results will be current when you apply.
