1. Create an ETS Account: If you don't already have one, go to the official ETS TOEFL website (toeflgoanywhere.org). Create an account. You'll need to provide personal information.
2. Register for the Test: Once logged in, you'll find the option to register for the TOEFL iBT. This usually involves selecting your preferred test date and location.
3. Choose a Test Center and Date: ETS will show you available test centers and dates in your area. Availability varies greatly depending on location and demand, so be flexible with your dates if possible. Book as far in advance as you comfortably can, especially during peak seasons.
4. Pay the Registration Fee: You'll need to pay the registration fee online using a credit card or other accepted payment methods. The fee varies by location, so check the exact amount during registration.
5. Review Your Registration: Carefully review all the information you've provided to ensure accuracy. Any mistakes could cause delays or complications.
6. Receive Confirmation: After completing the registration and payment, you'll receive a confirmation email with your test date, time, and location. Keep this email safe; you'll need it for check-in on test day.
Important Considerations:
* Test Availability: Test centers often fill up quickly, particularly popular locations and dates. Booking well in advance is highly recommended.
* Passport/ID: You'll need a valid passport or other government-issued identification for the exam. Ensure it's valid and up-to-date before registering.
* Test Preparation: Start preparing well in advance. The TOEFL iBT is a challenging exam, and adequate preparation significantly increases your chances of success.
* Rescheduling/Cancelling: ETS usually allows for rescheduling or cancellation of your test, but there might be fees involved. Check their policy on their website for the most up-to-date information.
Remember to always use the official ETS website to register. Beware of third-party websites that might claim to offer registration services; they could be scams.
