Test centres and dates change, so always check the current list in your ETS account when you register. Students from Rajshahi, Sylhet or Barishal usually travel to Dhaka, or choose the Home Edition instead.
Can You Take TOEFL at Home in Bangladesh?
Yes, you can take the TOEFL iBT Home Edition from Bangladesh (Studyportals, 2025). It is the same test, taken on your own computer with a human proctor watching online.
The Home Edition suits students who live far from Dhaka. You need a reliable computer, a webcam, a microphone and a quiet private room. Check the ETS equipment and room rules carefully before you pay, and plan around load-shedding with a fully charged laptop and a backup internet connection.
How to Register for TOEFL from Bangladesh
You register for TOEFL online through your ETS account or the free myTOEFL app (UNB, 2025). Follow these steps:
Step 1: Create an ETS Account
Go to the official ETS TOEFL website and create an account. Enter your name exactly as it appears on your passport, because the name must match your ID on test day.
Step 2: Choose a Test Centre or Home Edition
Search for test dates at centres in Dhaka, Chattogram or Khulna, or choose the Home Edition. Book at least 7 days ahead to avoid the US$49 express fee.
Step 3: Choose Your Free Score Recipients
Select the universities that should receive your scores. You get 4 free score reports (Gabble, 2026), so prepare your university list before you book.
Step 4: Pay the Fee by Card
Pay US$215 with a card that supports international payments in US dollars. Ask your bank to enable international e-commerce transactions before you try to pay.
What Changed in TOEFL in 2026?
From 21 January 2026, TOEFL iBT reports scores on a new 1 to 6 scale, matched to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) (ETS, 2026). For a two-year transition period, score reports also show a comparable score on the old 0 to 120 scale (ETS, 2026).
The test is also shorter and partly adaptive. Make sure your preparation books cover the 2026 format. Our IELTS vs TOEFL guide for Bangladeshi students explains the changes in more detail.
Common Mistakes When Booking TOEFL in Bangladesh
The most common mistake is a name mismatch between your ETS account and your passport. If they do not match, you may not be allowed to take the test.
Other mistakes to avoid:
- Booking late and paying the US$49 express fee.
- Forgetting to choose free score recipients, then paying for extra reports later.
- Trying to pay with a local-only debit card that cannot make US dollar payments.
- Taking the Home Edition without testing your computer and room setup first.
