Dear iBT Toefl candidates,
Please visit the iBT toefl web site : www.ets.org/toefl, go to the section Learners & Test Takers to register for the test. You will be able to select the test date when you register. Please read the information in that section. Read about registration deadlines and how to register in the bulletin that can be downloaded from the Toefl web site.
In order to be more “green” and reduce paper and shipping, students who take the TOEFL exam in the future will still receive online score reports but will no longer automatically receive a paper version. To obtain a paper copy of the scores, students now must specifically request. For more information, please visit www.ets.org/toefl/
