REGISTRATION
Walk-in registration is not available for the TOEFL iBT. You may
register either online (a credit card, an e-check, or a PayPal
account is required), or by calling our Regional Registration Center
(a credit card, an e-check, or a PayPal account is required), or by
completing and sending by mail the TOEFL iBT Registration Form.
The Registration Form is available online on the TOEFL website or
can be found in the TOEFL iBT Information and Registration
Bulletin. The Registration Form must be received at least four
weeks before your test date. If you register by mail, do not forget to include
payment. Terra Nova recommends online registration for the
fastest, safest, and most convenient service. Online registration is
open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can register by
yourself with your credit card (VISA or MasterCard, which can be
obtained from most Moldovan banks) or you can register at Terra
Nova for a small additional fee of U.S. $10. To register for the
TOEFL iBT online, you must first create your profile in the TOEFL
iBT registration system, either online (preferred) or through a
call service representative, to access all your information in
one place. Create your profile before registering for a test.
This will allow you to complete your registration more
quickly.
To create your profile in the TOEFL iBT registration system,
complete all of the required sections highlighted with an
asterisk (*): country/location of residency, first/given name,
last/family name, address, native country, native language,
country of citizenship, username, and password. For security
reasons, you must also select and answer challenge questions that
are easy to remember but that others do not know. If you forget
your user name or password, you must answer one of these
challenge questions to verify your identity. The information you
provide will be kept completely confidential. The spelling of
your name must exactly match the name printed on the
identification document(s) you will present at the center. You
must create your username and password according to the following
rules. Usernames must be between 6 and 16 characters long and may
contain both letters and numbers. The username may NOT contain
any special characters like !, $, #, or %. Passwords must be
between 8 and 16 characters long. For added security, they must
also contain three of the following four character categories:
UPPERCASE CHARACTERS (A through Z), lowercase characters (a
through z), numeric characters (0 through 9), special characters
(for example, !, $, #, %). Your password is case-sensitive. Only
English characters are allowed and your password cannot contain
your username, first/given name, or last/family name. If you have
difficulty creating your profile in the TOEFL Internet-based test
registration system, turn to your TOEFL instructor.
To register for the TOEFL iBT online, you must select a test
center, choose recipients for your test scores (this step can be
skipped), set your score reporting preferences, answer
demographic questions (this step can be skipped), review your
order, and make your payment. Once you begin the registration
process, do NOT use your browser's back button to return to a
previous page. Do NOT browse any pages outside of the test
registration system. Do NOT double-click any of the buttons,
especially while submitting payment.
It is best to select your score recipients (designated
institutions to receive your scores) at the time of online
registration. In this case, ETS will send your scores to 4
selected score recipients free of charge. You may update this
information online free of charge up until 10 p.m. (local test
center time) the evening before the test day. After that, a
charge will be imposed. You will not be able to select your score
recipients at the test center. See the code list for colleges and
universities. This list is available during online registration.
You will automatically receive a free score report for your
records.
After you make your payment, the registration confirmation page
will appear. The registration confirmation contains the time the
test will be given and the exact test center address. Print out
your registration confirmation and bring it with you to the test
center. You can also e-mail yourself a copy of the registration
confirmation. You will NOT receive an automatic confirmation of
your registration by e-mail. The registration confirmation page
will also let you view, print, and e-mail yourself a copy of your
order receipt if you want confirmation of payment.
Because test centers fill rapidly during desirable times, it is a
good idea to register several months in advance. The regular registration
deadline is seven days prior to the test date (not including the
day of the test). Late registration closes three days prior to
the test date (not including the day of the test). Registrations
received after the regular registration deadline incur a late fee
of U.S. $40. For example, if your test date is October 14, the
deadline to register without a late fee is October 7. If you are
registering by mail, your registration form must be received at
least four weeks before your earliest test date choice. If you
are taking the TOEFL iBT as part of the application process for
college or university admission, you should plan to take the test
early enough for your score to be received by the admission
office before the application deadline.
