    TOEFL, GRE to be taken at home amid coronavirus outbreak
  • In view of the coronavirus pandemic, global exams like TOEFL and GRE will now be taken at home, except in China and Iran, the Educational Testing Service (ETS) said.

    ETS is a nonprofit that administers the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and Graduate Record Examinations (GRE).

    The tests had earlier been suspended globally due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak.
