PAYMENT
The TOEFL iBT test fee varies by country. The fee for testing
in the Republic of Moldova is U.S. $160 (as of September 15,
2011). The TOEFL iBT test fee includes 1 examinee score record
and 4 score reports sent to institutions designated when you
register. The late registration fee is U.S. $35. If you
reschedule your appointment, you will be charged a U.S. $60
rescheduling fee. The reinstatement of canceled iBT scores costs
U.S. $20. Additional score report requests (per recipient) cost
U.S. $17. TOEFL iBT Speaking or Writing section rescoring costs
U.S. $60. TOEFL iBT Speaking and Writing section rescoring costs
U.S. $120. The fee for returned checks (paper or electronic; per
check) is U.S. $20.
If you cancel your registration by the deadline, you will receive
a refund equivalent to half of the original test fee. The
remainder of your payment will be retained to cover expenses for
processing your registration and holding space at the test
center. Refunds will be in U.S. dollars. Cash refunds are not
available. Refunds will not be given if you do not follow proper
registration procedures and/or fail to present the required
identification documents at the test center. If payment was made
by credit card or e-check, the refund will be credited back to
the original credit card or bank account.
The aforementioned fees are subject to change without notice.
Please, note that VAT or other taxes will be added where
applicable. All payments for tests and services must be paid in
full, be made within 90 days, have the correct numeric and
written dollar amount, and have appropriate signature(s). You
must submit payment in U.S. dollars, euros, or any other
acceptable currency (the list of acceptable currencies is
available from the TOEFL website). Payments submitted in other
currencies will not be accepted and will be returned.
The easiest, fastest, and the safest methods of payment for the
TOEFL iBT test is by using your VISA, American Express, JCB,
MasterCard, or Discover cards (VISA and MasterCard bank cards in
U.S. dollars or euros can be obtained from most Moldovan banks
(e.g., VICTORIABANK, Agroindbank, Banca de Economii, Energbank, Eximbank, FinCombank, Moldindconbank).
VICTORIABANK, for example, has established the following card
management fees for VISA Classic (as of September 15, 2011):
€150/U.S. $220 - minimum initial deposit, €100/U.S.
$150 - minimum account balance, €20/year - service.
If you decide to pay by credit/debit card, you will need to
provide your first/given and last/family names (as they appear on
the card), your billing address, and credit/debit card
information (card type, number, security ID, and expiration
date). Your VISA or MasterCard security ID (card verification
code), which makes your credit or debit card transactions more
secure, is a 3-digit code that is not embossed like the card
number, and is always the final group of numbers printed on the
back signature panel of the card. After you submit your
credit/debit card information, a screen will appear showing that
your order has been paid.
TERRA NOVA RECOMMENDS:
- Obtain VISA Classic from VICTORIABANK.
- Get the security code (card verification number) for your card. This code is a 3-digit number that is printed on the signature panel on the back of your VISA Classic card immediately following the card account number.
- Be sure to have at least U.S. $160 (in addition to the minimum account balance of €100/U.S. $150) in your card account.
- Register for the TOEFL iBT online (see REGISTRATION and TOEFL iBT FAQ for further details).
IMPORTANT: Please, note that Terra Nova can register you for the TOEFL iBT for a small additional fee of U.S. $10. In this case, you will not need to obtain Visa Classic and will avoid registration problems.
