The TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition

According to ETS, to meet the needs of students who are unable to take the TOEFL iBT® test at a test center due to public health concerns, the TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition test is now temporarily offered. The test is identical in content, format and on-screen experience to the TOEFL iBT test taken at a test center. It is taken on your own computer at home and is monitored by a human proctor online through ProctorU®.

Who's eligible for TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition test

• The test is offered in your country or location.
  • As of April 2, 2020, the test is available everywhere that TOEFL iBT testing is normally available, with the exception of Mainland China and Iran.
• Your computer must meet the equipment requirements for the test, including the installation of the ETS Test Browser and the ProctorU Systems Check.
• You must have a room that provides an acceptable environment for the test.
• In Taiwan, both on-site test and a at-home test are available and it's up to your choice . For now, it's still not sure if the test sites will be cancelled in the future.
