Note for readers of TST Prep’s newsletter: click here for the price changes in February 2022.
The cost of taking the TOEFL has increased in some countries. This comes exactly six months following the last price increase. Below you can see a table summarizing the cost of taking the test in the countries I track. Some of the highlights include:
- I spotted increases in: Argentina, Georgia, Guadalupe, Japan, Jordan, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, the Palestinian Territories, New Zealand, Thailand and Uganda. Of course there are many countries I am not tracking.
- I spotted a price decrease in Vietnam.
- Switzerland remains the most expensive place to take the TOEFL ($320).
- There are a handful of countries where the cost is still $185.
- There are no countries on my tracker where the price is still $180 (Georgia was the last on my tracker).
- None of the assorted service fees (score review, late registration, etc) have changed.
- The test cost $140 when it started.
- I am not associated with ETS.
