ETS launches faster TOEFL iBT test registration system reducing overall time to five minutes

NEW DELHI: ETS, the global leader in education and talent solutions, announced an addition to the TOEFL iBT test registration system. The new process will make it easier for candidates worldwide including in India to register. The new system was streamlined on October 1 allowing candidates to register for the exam in just six simple steps, reducing the overall time to five minutes, the official ETS statement said.

The new process eliminates steps like selecting score recipients and additional information gathering during registration which can now be done after the initial process, creating a smoother experience for test takers, the ETS statement said.

The new update is part of TOEFL’s ongoing efforts to enhance the test experience of the students.

The update is built on recent improvements over the past three years, which include the introduction of the shortened test (less than 2 hours), MyBest scores, and the TOEFL iBT home edition aiming at making the test more accessible, particularly in India, where demand for international education is rising.

ETS also introduced initiatives to support Indian students. The initiative also includes a test fee cashback in partnership with HDFC credila, merit scholarships based on TOEFL scores, and the TOEFL TestReady platform, which uses AI to offer personalized study plans and feedback, the ETS statement added.

Additionally, ETS has launched the TOEFL official beginner’s guide, specially curated for Indian students. The guide provides free full-length practice tests, sample responses, answer keys, and audio files to ensure students are well-prepared for the TOEFL iBT test.
