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.
