ETS Makes Changes for TOEFL Testing Fees
The following changes will take effect July 1st (all fees are shown in US$):
• Test fee increase: The minimum fee is $150, and prices range from there, depending on testing location. Some countries experienced no fee increase.
• Late registration fee: $35 (was $25)
• Reschedule fee: $60 (was $50)
In establishing these fees, ETS has tried to strike a balance between our costs, which vary by region, and specific market sensitivities. Despite the fee increase, TOEFL is still less expensive than IELTS in almost every country in the world.
TOEFL iBT test fee vouchers purchased from ETS by institutions and organizations at the previous test fee will be honored. No additional payment will be necessary when test takers register using a voucher previously purchased.
