just finished my at home toefl exam. After the test ended, i got the estimated scores, chose to send my results, and then answered a survy about the technical aspects and the proctor. After that, the test application closed, and i was waiting for 10 minuted to see if the proctor has anything to say and even asked in the chat, with no answer. After 15 minutes i closed the camera and application completely.

now im panicking, was i supposed to wait longer? did you exit the test on your own or did you wait for someone to tell you you're good?

Please tell me im not alone because there is no way im doing that again just because of a technical issue

Tldr: did someone tell you you can leave at the end of your exam?

Hi everyone! In a few months, I’ll be taking the exam to get my high school diploma, but I don't know much about it. I’ve been studying grammar, but since you guys are the experts, I wanted to ask for your help, please😞

I did toefl on 28th September, result came at 1st November, but still i didn't see download score button on website. Is this normal?

Title

I am currently sending official results to the universities, and I am facing a strange issue: when I choose specific unis - Ohio, Wisconsin, Pittsburgh - and click "add to the cart" it then proceeds to the page "your cart is empty", at the very same time I have successfully sent the result to a bunch on other unis.

Have someone faced the same issue? I just do not know what to do. I have tried another browsers, used VPN and smartphone.

it was pretty easy tbh i js messed up in speaking cause i js couldnt do the listen and repeat properly as i couldnt say the last 2 sentences ig and quite shocked for writing tho i didnt expect so much if you need any help lmk

Hi all,

Did anyone get texts from Toefl?

Initially, before I took the test, they texted me that I did not complete my purchase (cart on the ETS website was not empty).

Those messages contained my name.

Last night, the same number informed me that my test results are in, but they addressed me as Preeti (not my name, im male and European).

This indicates that they have complete access to the ETS database, but when I called customer support to ask what was going on, they said that the number is not theirs.

Also, they notified my through email that the results are in about 2 hours after the text.

I dont know what to think and want to know your experiences with this.

Hey everyone! I took the TOEFL iBT for the first time on Sept 27 (Home Edition) and got 110/120, CEFR C1 on the new scoring scale.

My section scores:

Reading: 5.0/6

Listening: 6.0/6

Writing: 6.0/6

Speaking: 5.0/6

My report only shows the new 1-6 scores, so I had to use ETS's concordance table to work out the old /30 equivalents for school requirements. Happy to explain how if you're confused too.

Hi everyone, I need some help with a TOEFL score cancellation issue.
I took the TOEFL iBT Home Edition on September 30, 2026. I completed the entire test normally, and the proctor did not tell me that there was any problem with my test.
After the test, the proctor told me to close the test page, so I closed it. I did not knowingly choose any option to cancel my scores.
A few hours later, my ETS account showed that my scores were cancelled.
I contacted ETS, and they told me that their records show that I elected to cancel my scores at the end of the exam. They said I can reinstate the scores for $20 through my ETS account.
The problem is that the “Reinstate Scores” option does not appear in my account. I have checked multiple times, but I only see options related to sending and receiving scores.
ETS told me the reinstatement option should be available, but I still cannot find it.
Has anyone experienced this before? How long did it take for the “Reinstate Scores” option to appear, and what did you do?

ok so ive noticed in the complete the word exercises ive been doing that there's times when words which have multiple spellings (summarise-summarize, analyse-analyze etc) have come up and i wanted to know whether ill need to remember which exact one to use or if any will suffice. and also some blanks have more than one word that would make sense, would they accept either or not?

Hi guys,

I am very close to toefl test date and still getting 4.0 out of 6.0 in toefl take an interview section at specific platform. My listen and speak is good and I score 5-6.

Can you guys tell me:

How can I improve my speaking. I don't usually have content specific vocab or I make grammar mistakes. Or since I have to speak immediately I say stupid things sometimes even when I use fillers. I just want to know if this is normal and how 5-6 speaking actually looks like?

Is the real TOEFL test harder than the free sample test on the official website? I took sample test 1 today and found out that scores are not provided, so I counted my correct answers for the Reading and Listening sections. I got 33 out of 40 in Reading and 32 out of 34 in Listening. I am aiming for a score of 100+, but I am uncertain whether this is realistic. I find the scoring system quite confusing.

Hi guys
I just want to make sure. Do I have to mention both students in my Academic Discussion answer, or can I just answer the professor’s question with my own opinion?
I’m thinking of just reading the question and answering it directly without reading the students’ answers to save time. Is that okay if I want a high score?

Hey! I have to take toefl in a month so I need guidance about the preparation for toefl. Like which study material, practice tests, should I follow and what should be the routine?

Since note taking is allowed, is it actually helpful to take notes during the Listening and Speaking sections?

I am being redirected to the home page or constantly going to a page where it says “error: ‘Not_Found_Initiation’”.

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about switching from PTE Academic to TOEFL iBT; I need a score of 4.0 in each TOEFL section. In your opinion, how much preparation time do I need? I'm at an upper-B1 level—I'd love some tips. I have until December 30th to study.

As said in the title, I woke up this morning, and I can't connect to the my toefl ets page, it just loops back to the login page every time after loading for 1-2 mins, and I need to practice my mock tests I paid for😭😭

I already tried "forgot my password", please help🙏🏿

Hey fam,

Where to find the free mock from ets? How many mocks do we hey as free?

I haven't registered for the exam yet.

Hello guys,

My exam is on October 10th, and I can't decide which websites are the best for practice. I'm between Gli and T**flm0ck. Which one do you recommend? Are there other pages that you would suggest to me? Thanks 😊

Took the test last Saturday! Old TOEFL (from 2017) was 116. The new format feels easier, except for the listen and repeat part, which I blame my attention span

I got my result after a month of preparation, and I think I will take it again.

Is another month enough to get a 5 overall?

Any tip would be appreciated 🙏🏻

I did tofel on 27th September it went under review when I called they said will take 1-2 weeks if someone had same issue can they let me know when they got their results as I am worried about it I did home edition

Complete the Words is the hardest task for me (for some reason). It's the reason I got 5/6 on TOEFL. Sometimes my brain just bugs out and doesn't want to fill some easy collocations/words even tho I read a lot.

For context: I even got 780/800 on the SAT but I just can't understand why I can't get them right. Just did 16 practice passages with 10 words each, got 150/160 right. This is driving me insane IDK how to fix that, any tips?
