今日根據ETS官網消息，託福將正式推出在家考試服務(TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition)。此項服務主要針對受疫情影響無法參加考試的地區，允許學生在家使用自己的電腦考試。
哪些地區可以在家考?
官網消息，自3月23日起，ETS計劃在以下國家和地區開通：美國、加拿大、哥倫比亞、法國、德國、義大利、西班牙、中國香港、中國澳門。
所以，正如官方消息為我們透露的，大陸地區目前暫時未開通在家考試服務。
在家考託福是什麼流程呢?小編根據官網要求給大家整理如下
1 設備和考試環境需符合規定
在註冊考試前前需首先保證電腦和測試環境。電腦型號不支持Mac或iOS作業系統。因此大家必須使用安裝了Windows系統的電腦：支持Win10/8/7/Vista/XP系統。
2 提前在ETS註冊報名考試
在家考託福需要考生登錄ETS官網預約考試。
登錄ETS帳戶後，在My TOEFL頁面上，選擇註冊/查找考試中心，查找「TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition」選項。
報名網站：https://www.ets.org/s/cv/toefl/at-home/
3 完成ProctorU的註冊
由於監考由ProctorU執行，考生還將收到的郵件確定考試日期及時間。如果想要取消考試，則須在考前4天聯繫ETS。
4 在家考試進行中
監考員將通過攝像頭全程監督你。考試全過程將會被錄下來，也會對考生進行拍照，照片將作為成績單的一部分寄送給學校。
考試結束後，考生將看到閱讀和聽力部分的成績。同時，考生將有選擇保留或取消考試成績的機會。
5 考完後
在家考完託福之後，其餘操作和常規考試一樣。考生可在6-10天後登錄查看自己的最終成績。成績將被寄送給選擇的學校。考生可追加寄送學校。兩次考試最短間隔為3天。
