The organization ETS, which organizes the TOEFL English exam, has banned Russian citizens from registering for the exam. This was reported by the site “Mediazona”.
It is impossible to register for the exam if you indicate the citizenship of Russia. When this happens, a message appears: “In accordance with the requirements of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), your access to TOEFL products and services is restricted.”
A Mediazona reader told the editors that Russians who registered before the imposition of sanctions and passed the exam cannot send test results to universities.
TOEFL is a standardized English language proficiency test, the results of which may be required by applicants for admission to universities in the United States, as well as Europe and Asia.
