The short answer to that question is: “Yes”… you CAN do The TOEFL At Home. (That is, if you are in a country that already hosts The TOEFL Exam… [which makes no sense at all, considering that it is on-line… Therefore, you should be able to do it anywhere that there is an internet connection])… So, Yes, you CAN… but I HIGHLY recommend NOT doing what ETS refers to as “The TOEFL Home Edition”. .As a response to the global “Covid-19 Crisis” of Spring 2020 — ETS, has announced that they have a new “edition” of The TOEFL iBT Exam — The TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition. And what they say is that — with this new “edition” of the exam — a person who is not able to get to an official TOEFL Testing Center, is supposed to be able to take the exam from the safety & comfort of their own home — as long as they meet certain requirements. But there is a LOT more about this that makes it a HORRIBLE idea. Watch the video below to find out why.

So What Should You Do?
.
If you have the ability to wait until the next available time to be able to take The TOEFL Exam in an actual Official Testing Center — then just wait to do that. There are still dates being added all around the word. .
THE “NORMAL” TOEFL HAS NOT BEEN CANCELLED!!!
I have already heard from MANY people about absolutely ridiculous restrictions and problems that they have experienced with The TOEFL Home Edition — which means that it is very probable that if you take this version of The TOEFL — you will loose your money, and waste a lot of time by having to do it over again (at your expense) at a normal Testing Center. .
So, “Yes”… You Can Do The TOEFL At Home… But I Do NOT Recommend It
