TOEFL Home Edition vs Test Center in Nepal

The ETS offers two versions of the TOEFL iBT test: TOEFL Home Edition and TOEFL at Test Centre. As the name suggests, in TOEFL Home Edition, you can take the test from the comfort of your place; however, in a Test Centre, you have to visit the designated test centre to attempt the exam. The content of both exams is identical, but some Universities or Immigration departments do not accept Home Edition for security reasons. The acceptability of the Home Edition is increasing among Universities as TOEFL works towards more secure policies and reduces the chance of cheating. 

Here are Key differences between TOEFL Test Center and Home Edition

The TOEFL test comprises four sections: Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. All four sections have a score range of 0-30, and the total score of all four sections is equal to the Overall Score.It is an Internet-based test available in Home-based and Test-Centre-based versions. The format of the exam is the same in both versions. When compared to IELTS and PTE, it is the shortest test of all and is widely accepted. Here is the module-wise bifurcation of the TOEFL test.
