ETS Launches “TOEFL® Star Performer” Program in India

Educational Testing Service (ETS), creators of the TOEFL® test, announced that they will be launching a pilot program that offers TOEFL Star Performer certificates for students who have taken the test in India. The pilot program will officially launch on the February 14 testing date, and the certificate is designed to recognize Indian students' outstanding levels of proficiency achieved in all four communication skills measured by the TOEFL test: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. 

TOEFL Star Performer certificates will be made available at three levels - gold, silver and bronze. Test takers achieving a minimum TOEFL iBT total score of 110 and a minimum section score of 25 in all four skills will be designated gold-level star performers. Those with a total score of 100 and minimum section scores of 22 will be designated silver-level star performers, while students with a total score of 90 and minimum section scores of 21 will be recognized as bronze-level star performers. Elegant certificates will be available for a modest fee and can be purchased after test takers receive their scores. To celebrate, ETS will reimburse the fee for the first ten Indian test takers who purchase gold-level certificates.
