- TOEFL test takers worldwide can now access all things TOEFL through a new 
mobile app

Available now, students worldwide can download the TOEFL(R) official app 
through the Apple App Store(R) or Google Play(TM). The app will offer similar 
features to students' online accounts, including:

    - Test Registration - search for "test centers near me" and find open seats
      in a two-month period 
    - Test Prep - purchase comprehensive guides and link to free practice
      material, including a full-length practice test and TOEFL Insider's Guide
      online course 
    - Scores - view score reports from all valid test administrations,
      including MyBest(TM) scores, and send additional score reports to
      designated institutions 
    - Disability Accommodations - submit requests for disability or health
      related needs accommodations and view the status of current and past
      requests 

"We are continuing to identify meaningful ways to transform the TOEFL test 
experience for students and institutions," said ETS's Srikant Gopal, Executive 
Director of the TOEFL Program. "The TOEFL app meets students where they are by 
providing them with a convenient and streamlined way to access many components 
of the test experience on their mobile devices, from registration and test prep 
through score delivery."

Coinciding with the new mobile app, the TOEFL program will now deliver scores 
faster than ever before. Students who take a TOEFL test on or after October 26 
will be able to view their scores online approximately six days after the test 
date, nearly half of the previous 10-day wait period. Official score reports 
will also be sent to institutions faster, as early as nine days after the test 
date.

"Executing a faster score turnaround was a major priority for us based on the 
feedback we've heard from students and institutions," added Gopal. "Shortening 
the waiting period for retesting and adding afternoon test sessions provided 
students with additional opportunities to test sooner and more frequently if 
they need to. Therefore, creating a faster score reporting process to accompany 
those just made sense - something that is beneficial for both students and 
institutions."
