When you are studying for the TOEFL iBT test, you must save a variety of specific website addresses to your internet browser’s bookmark folder.
ETS is the company that makes the TOEFL iBT test. Unfortunately, they have a bunch of different websites for TOEFL iBT. 😖 This means that you need multiple membership accounts.
Lots of people get confused by this because the websites are poorly connected to each other.
You will avoid a lot of frustration and hassle later if you save the bookmarks below with the names that I am recommending.
Bookmark / Website #1
The function of this website is to give you basic information about how to take the TOEFL iBT test.
I suggest you give the bookmark this name:
ETS: Info about TOEFL
The address for this bookmark is:
https://www.ets.org/toefl/test-takers/ibt/about
⬆️Copy-paste that address to avoid mistakes! ⬆️
Bookmark / Website #2
The function of this website is to give you the ability to see the dayss and times that you can register for the real TOEFL iBT test — both the at-home version, or the “regular” (in-person) version, or even the newer “Essentials” version. The website also allows you to choose which institutions get your scores, like the National Board of Pharmacists or your university’s admissions committee.
I cannot overemphasize just how important it is for you to spell and type properly and accurately in this website. Your name must match your identification documents (like your passport or your driver’s license). You can make changes later, but it is a slow and frustrating process that you will regret.
You will avoid a huge headache if you spell everything correctly the first time and use capital and lower case letters appropriately.
These are capital letters: A B C D E F G H I J K L
These are lower case letters: a b c d e f g h i j k l
I suggest you give the bookmark this name:
ETS: Register for TOEFL
The address for this bookmark is:

⬆️Copy-paste that address to avoid mistakes! ⬆️
Bookmark / Website #3
The function of this website is to give you a realistic, official simulation of the TOEFL iBT test. These official practice tests are old versions of the real test.
I suggest you give the bookmark this name:
ETS: Take Practice Test
The address for this bookmark is:
https://toefl.startpractice.com/
⬆️Copy-paste that address to avoid mistakes! ⬆️
Bookmark / Website #4
The function of this website is to sell you the realistic, official simulation tests — which you saved in Bookmark #3. I know, I know. It’s ridiculous. You pay on one website… You log into another website to take the test.
I suggest you give the bookmark this name:
ETS: Buy Practice Test
The address for this bookmark is:
https://v2.ereg.ets.org/ereg/public/testPrep/viewtestPreparation?_p=TEL
⬆️Copy-paste that address to avoid mistakes! ⬆️
Bonus Bookmark / Website #5
If you want a professional, experienced expert to help guide you through all this ridiculousness with TOEFL iBT, save my information as well.
