Rupees payment choice for TOEFL iBT test.

Updated on: Tuesday, May 22, 2012

Students can now make payment in rupees for the TOEFL iBT® test. The new payment choice is available to test takers by selecting the credit card option through the TOEFL® online registration system. The Euro, Yen and Won are also now accepted as payment through the online registration system.
 
For many Indian students, this will result in cost-savings as payment is no longer limited to dollars. Indian TOEFL test takers paying in rupees will no longer incur currency exchange fees charged by most debit and credit card companies.

David Hunt, vice president and chief operating officer of ETS’s Global Division, said, “This enhancement to the TOEFL registration process was based on feedback from test takers and illustrates another step ETS has taken to make the testing experience more convenient and efficient for students throughout India.” “And is part of a wider goal to accept other local currencies around the world to increase the access for students,” he added.

 In November, ETS announced yet another change for test takers by condensing the testing format of the reading section to a maximum of four reading passages. The reading section is no longer divided into separately timed parts, rather all passages and questions are made available in a single block of time allowing test takers to pace themselves throughout the entire reading section.

This change in the format of the TOEFL test is an example of how the testing process is becoming more user-friendly, allowing individuals more flexibility by being able to skip questions, go back to review and change responses, or respond to questions they may have skipped.
