3.23日ETS官网正式更新了消息,鉴于疫情影响,为了满足考生的需求,目前正式推出TOEFL iBT® Special Home Edition —— 托福网考特别版。
、
ETS在选定的地区开展托福网考家庭特别版测试,该考试的内容以及考试屏幕体验等都与TOEFL iBT完全相同,考试的全程监考会由人工通过ProctorU进行监考。
关于考生在家考托福的一些细节:
1、3月23日(13:00)在选定的和地区开放,学生可以在3月26日(星期四)开始在家参加考试;
2、托福网考家庭版的考试内容、格式、屏幕体验与线下考点的考试体验、评分标准相同;
3、在家考试全程由人工通过ProctorU监考(人工监控对考官的需求量不小,应该是不全面放开网考的因素之一);
4、ETS也在评估疫情对全球考点的影响,努力为受影响的考点提供家庭版考试方案;
5、目前能参加家庭版托福网考的和地区有:美国,加拿大,哥伦比亚,法国,德国,意大利,西班牙,中国香港(中国)和澳门(中国)。
目前据官网消息,以下地区以及满足下述条件的考生可提前体验TOEFL iBT® Special Home Edition。
报名托福网考的学生需要满足三个条件:
1、你所在的和地区是被ETS选定的网考区域(我们上面有列出来);
2、必须有符合考试要求的计算机设备;
3、必须有一个满足考试环境要求的房间。
基本大多数学生都可以满足后面两个条件,但个条件我们暂时不确定大陆考生是否可以报名。虽然大陆考点没有开展家庭版考试,但理论上我们可以报考其他允许的考点,不知道ETS是否会通过护照限制。
另外,ETS也同时公布了对于电脑、耳机、键盘、摄像头以及房间布置的详细要求:

这一次3月23日的托福在家考,中国大陆地区还没有施行。但是建议同学们一边等待官方的进一步消息,一边做好也许中国大陆地区会随时加入“在家考”的准备。毕竟作为一个公平的考试,应该会给中国大陆的考生一个说法,请各位要静下心来好好备考!四月就有机会参加考试也不是完全不可能。
