I’m now seeing big TOEFL price hikes across the board. Below find a list of increases in the countries I track (minus EU countries, which I wrote about a few days ago).
A few things stand out. The biggest hike was a $35 increase in Iran, where the test now costs $300. Neighboring Iraq saw a $15 increase and a new total price of $295. The test now costs a whopping $470 in Switzerland (a $20 increase).
Note that the cost is the same whether the test is taken at a test center, or at the test taker’s home.
The full list of increases is as follows:
- Afghanistan – $10
- Argentina – $15
- Australia – $15
- Azerbaijan – $20
- Brazil – $5
- Canada – $9
- Colombia – $13
- Congo (DR) – $10
- Georgia – $10
- Ghana – $5
- Guatemala – $15
- Hong Kong – $10
- Iceland – $10
- Iran – $35
- Iraq – $15
- Israel – $10
- Jordan – $9
- Kenya – $15
- Kosovo – $10
- Mexico – $5
- Mongolia – $15
- Morocco – $15
- New Zealand – $5
- Pakistan – $25
- Palestinian Territories – $9 (Amit, why?)
- Peru – $15
- Switzerland – $20
- Tajikistan – $5
- Thailand – $10
- Turkey – $13
- UAE – $15
- UK – $10
Prices surely increased elsewhere, but I don’t track the whole planet.
