-If you have not done a test in the last three years, and you are based in the United States, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Hong Kong (China) and Macau (China), take theTOEFL iBT® Special Home Edition.

-If you do not have any possibility to report a score of an English test, you may exceptionally apply to Round 4 by taking the following steps on the Online Application Platform:

3. Select “Application without English Test score”
4. Indicate Score as 0
