Starting Jan 21, 2026, the New TOEFL format changes totally. The exam is much shorter, only 85 minutes long. The score changes to a 0-6 Band scale instead of 120. It is now adaptive with real tasks like Writing emails. Also, the Speaking section has no preparation time, so you must answer immediately.

Hi.

The TOEFL exam does not have an upper or lower age limit.

Eligibility by Age

No minimum age – Students as young as 12–13 have taken TOEFL.

No maximum age – Adults, professionals, and even retirees can take TOEFL.

The test is open to anyone who wants to demonstrate English proficiency for study, work, or immigration.

Points to Keep in Mind

You need a valid ID (passport for India) that matches your TOEFL registration.

Score validity: TOEFL scores are valid for 2 years.

The TOEFL fees in India is actually INR 18,000. One ETS official website you might see TOEFL iBT registration fees as INR 15,254, but that is only the base price. It does not include GST tax. So when you go for payment, the final TOEFL exam price will be 18,000 rupees.

You don't need a teacher or partner. Just use your mobile phone recorder for TOEFL Speaking practice. Talk to yourself on simple topics and listen to your recording to catch mistakes. It is the fastest way to improve.

Please don't buy any heavy TOEFL prep books now, you cannot finish them. The best TOEFL study material for short time is official ETS free resources and YouTube videos. Big books will only make you more confuse and stress.

Yes, it is possible if your basic English is good. You don't need months if you focus only on understanding the TOEFL exam format. Just follow the 7 day study plan honestly and you can get a decent score.
