PAYMENT
The TOEFL iBT test fee varies by country. The fee for testing in the Republic of Moldova is U.S. $160.
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 January 1, 2010): €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 fee of U.S. $10. In this case, you will not need to obtain Visa Classic and will avoid registration problems.
