TOEFL iBT® Test Day Information

TOEFL iBT^® (internet-based test) is taken at a secure test centre, where you will need to show your ID, check in with the test administrator, and sit your test in a secure room. You will have to:

1. Show an ETS-approved form of identification (ID) that contains a photograph and signature
2. Provide voice and signature samples
3. Have your photo taken. This will be displayed at your computer station and embedded into your paper score report.

Arrival time

Please arrive at the test centre 30 minutes early. If you’re late, you will not be able to take the test.

How long is the test?

The entire test is given in half a day, unlike other tests that make you stay the full day or come back a second day. Total length of the test is 3 hours.
