Bring the TOEFL iBT® Test Home

Doing things at home became a necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic—from working and taking classes to doctor’s appointments and more. Taking English-proficiency exams was no different. That’s why the TOEFL iBT® Home Edition was developed by ETS®.

Even though students can once again take the TOEFL iBT test at a testing center, the TOEFL iBT Home Edition is now a permanent part of the TOEFL® family of assessments—so you still have the option to take the gold standard of English-proficiency exams at home.

The Gold Standard

Accepted by more than 11,500 institutions in 160+ countries, the TOEFL iBT test is recognized as the gold standard of English-proficiency exams. In fact, in the United States it’s accepted by 100% of universities and preferred by 9 out of 10 schools. Institutions trust TOEFL iBT scores because of the exam’s academic focus, established high standards of quality, and fair and unbiased scoring. In short, it helps them make confident admissions decisions.

The TOEFL iBT test will help build your confidence, too. The exam covers 100% academic English content and measures all four academic English skills—reading, listening, speaking and writing—as you will actually use them in a classroom. By succeeding on the TOEFL iBT test, you’ll know you have what it takes to succeed at a university in the United States. Bonus: According to a recent survey, over 90% of TOEFL iBT test takers got into their first or second choice university.
