Hi Juva! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I would like to ask, who will give you your test id and password to put on the ETS browser?

Hi I want to know if I accidentally click on the red cross button after finishing all the test and it said you provoke the proctor. Is there any problem with that or it doesn’t matter?

Hello Juva, thanks for the valuable videos! I took home edition few weeks ago, and my score is on hold. Only reason I can think of is when I finished the test, I waited for further instruction maybe for couple minutes but nothing happened so I closed it. Did I need to wait until someone say so? I remember your other mentioned that I need to show my white board but did someone say to do so?

Hi Juva! I wanted to ask if the book shelves or white board on the wall in my room would cause a problem. Also, nearly every room in my house has two doors, will that be a problem as well?

13 hours before my TOEFL, so excited for that! :p

I am planning TOEFL at home. I am not sure how to take speaking and listening section since ETS instruction shows no headset and earphone is allowed. Please advice me what to do?
regards.

Hi Juva! Thank you for the information. I would like to know if I can take the test in the living room of my house, because here the internet is really bad at the bedrooms.

To show your phone**

Hello, do the wall hangings need to be removed in the room? Or pictures? I have a glass cupboard with things inside. Will that be a problem?
Also is it necessary to carry your phone in the test room? Does it mandatorily ask you to show your room?

Can I give the test on chromebook? Acer chromebook 11 N7 to be specific

Hi Juva! I have some questions... what if the laptop is run out of battery? can we have our charger on the table as well? Thank you!!

JUVA YOU SHOLD EAT MORE

Thank you very much Juva for giving us all these tips for the TOEFL iBT. I have my home edition TOEFL exam in five days and your videos helped me a lot.
Keep it up.

Hallo Juva!
Vielen Dank für die guten Tipps! Ich habe meinen Test in ein einhalb Wochen und bin super aufgeregt. Brauche 90+Punkte.... Kannst du mir zufällig sagen, ob es nötig ist, dass die Tür des Raumes sichtbar ist? Irgendjemand hatte das mal erwähnt. Das ist bei mir nicht so, d.h. ich müsste nochmal umbauen...

Vielen Dank im Voraus! Alles Gute für dich!

This might be a funny concern, but I can't help feel a little uneasy about installing the Proctor U extension :( it's just the fact that it has so much control and access to my device that makes uncomfortable. Can I install and uninstall the extension after every system check I do, and install it the day I have my test?

Also very important thing - your windows MUST have curtains or tint! I took toefl home edition test today and my proctor told me to change the room because my windows were without curtains. Good luck to all test takers!

Hi Juva, love your videos. Can you please confirm if the proctor u account needs to be created for toefl. The website does not specifically mention anything regarding it. Also, when I tried to create one and select institution as "Toefl" , it gives the error "This Institution does not permit creating a ProctorU account. Please navigate to your course Learning Management System for scheduling and rescheduling ProctorU reservations."

Hi Juva! Can you help me how to create an account on ProctorU? I am confused regarding what institution to choose from the drop down list as you can't create an account using TOEFL as the institution.

Thank you so much for the video ! Can I please ask what notes I can take during the exam ? My exam is in 6 days and I feel lost, if you could please reply i would really appreciate it 💓

Is it valid for 2022

My white board length 20 cm and width 12 cm.
Is it okay????pls pls tell me

Thanks for the video Juva！what kind of microphone you used in home edition? Thank you!

Can I use any whiteboard size?

Thank you for the info! :) I have one more question, if you take the the home edition, do you have to change the type of keyboard? or can you use whatever you want?

Love you Juva!

I am sure here there must be people who keep receiving the same error message like me on ProctorU Test Equipment Page, saying 'Your camera width/height could not be found' on Chrome. I reached ProctorU help in different times and I was told that I should not be afraid for these errors and I can still take the test on the test day even though I get 2 red errors on Test Equipment page. When I check online forums I came across with many test takers who are nervous because of the same error, but there is no any concrete solution. Any advice? Thanks!

Thanks Juva. I have a question. Can I ask them for a hard copy certificate? How do they send it to me ?

Thank you juva. How long will the test take including check in process?

Hi Juva! I would like to know if I have to create a ProctorU account. I've been watching your videos and I didn't quite understood if I have too. I already paid and scheduled my exam and reviewed the ETS instructions and they do not mention it at all.

Is it okay if when I'm speaking I look down at the notes I wrote all the time or does that take points? (please respond I have the exam tmrw)

Hi, very informative video! I have a question though: do I need to create a Proctor U account for my test? I have not recieved any links to create it and I have run the equipment check and everything seems fine just by having the extension.

Hi Juva, thanks!! I now feel more confortable on taking the TOEFL home edition, but I have a question, should I use a headphone, an external microphone or a headset? or could I present the exam just with the internal camera and microphone from my laptop ?

Thank you so much! This Sunday I’m doing the test and this cleared helped a lot! ❤️

I got a 109!!! :) Thank you for your videos and anwsers to the questions I had!!

Liebe Juva, vielen Dank für deine hilfreichen und gut erklärten Videos! Sie haben mir sehr bei meiner Vorbereitung geholfen.

Weißt du zufällig ob man sich, zusätzlich zum TOEFL ETS Account auch einen Account bei ProctorU machen muss für die Home Edition?
Ich habe bei meiner Recherche leider keine genaue Antwort gefunden.
Vielen Dank!

I'm really scared about the fact that I have to erase my notes due to only having one sheet allowed to take notes :( During the listening part when you finish the last question of a passage do the next passage automatically start (student or teacher start speaking) or do you have to press play? Because if it's automatic I don't see how we are supposed to erase our previous notes in time to start taking new notes... :'(

If your desk has drawers do you need to take out everything that are in it?

Hi Juva! I have an exam in a week and I am very confused on downloading process. I have already downloaded the Ets Secure Test Browser but I don't know thats it. Do I need to download something beside that?

Thank you for the update Juva! Kind of a silly question here but how long did you prepare for this test? 😅

Sorry, where's THE LINK that you mentioned? Couldnt find in the description....

Hey Juva! Sorry I have a quick question, my exam is next week. Is the exam going to be on the ETS browser that I downloaded? Because it is asks for the exam ID and password, will the proctor enter that information on the day of?

Hi, thank you for this video. I also have one question, how do I know how much time I have for one section for example "reading"? Do you have a timer there or sth like that?
+I also saw on the its website that reading section takes 54-72 minute so how do I know how much is it going to be this time? 😊

Hello Juva, did you get you results as an official paper certificate? If yes, how did they send it? By regular mail?

Is it ok for us to write down notes and while watching down? I read so many horrible home edition stories that scare me a little now. Some test takers were interrupted during the listening section as they looked down too long. How's your experience?

Hey Juva... I Just wanted to ask you how exactly the beginning of the test will look like. How will the Proctor start / contact me? Do I start the test on the website or in the downloaded test system? Thank you!
