Is it possible to take the TOEFL paper based test?

How long does it take the get TOEFL results?

• Hello ! So here's what's going on : I'm a french high school student who applied through UCAS for various British universities : among them, Imperial College sent me a conditional offer that requires having the following scores : # An overall score of 85 in the internet-based test (iBT), to include 22 in Writing and 20 in Speaking. # An overall band score of not less than 600 in the paper-based test (PBT) with 4.5 in Writing. #An overall band score of 250 in the computer-based test (CBT) with 4.5 in Writing. The next TOEFL exam in Paris will be held on July 25th... The problem is that in the email, they say they want me to send (or they want to have...) the scores by July 30th, so basically I wanted to know : - How long does it take for me to have the scores? - How long does it take for the TOEFL guys to send the scores to the university? - If I call Imperial College and tell them that they might get the results one or two days after the limit, will they have a problem with that? Thanks, ncocacola

• Answer:

  For -you- to get the score online, it's going to take more than a week as opposed to what the two posters above said. If you take the test on July 25th, your approximate score posting date is on the 7th of August (refer to link below). For -Imperial College- to get the scores, read this excerpt: "Scores are mailed usually within 15 days after your test date. Allow 7-10 days for delivery in the U.S. and more time for other areas." (Refer to link below) So, you're talking about a month time period after your test date for them to get it. It may take less, maybe 25 days for instance, but there's no way that they're going to get it at a date anywhere close to the deadline.
