1. TOEFL Prediction: Cheapest, but Not an ETS Certificate
A TOEFL Prediction test is written and scored by the institution itself, usually imitating the TOEFL ITP format. Itās the cheapest option, and some are free.
Example: the PTESOL proficiency test at Balai Bahasa UPI costs Rp80,000 for the UPI community and Rp200,000 for the public.
Keep in mind: a prediction certificate is not an ETS certificate. Many scholarships, civil service selections, and state-owned companies donāt accept it. Use it for practice, or when your campus explicitly accepts its internal test.
2. Official TOEFL ITP at a Test Center
TOEFL ITP is an official ETS test run through authorized campuses and institutions. In Indonesia it is organized in cooperation with IIEF, ETSās representative. It can be paper-based (PBT) or computer-based on site.
Example fees as of October 2026:
- Cilacs UII: Rp625,000 (PBT or online), Rp675,000 (computer on site)
- Balai Bahasa UPI: Rp650,000 (digital on site)
Other providers are generally in a similar range, about Rp600,000 to Rp700,000. Scores range from 310 to 677 and are generally treated as valid for 2 years. Seats per session are limited, so register early.
3. TOEFL ITP Online From Home
Some providers offer TOEFL ITP with an online proctor (remote proctoring). The certificate is still official and the price is similar to on-site testing. For example, Cilacs UII charges Rp625,000.
Typical requirements: a laptop or computer that meets the specs, a webcam, a microphone, a stable connection, and a quiet private room. Some providers donāt accept certain devices, such as MacBooks, so check the device requirements before registering.
4. TOEFL iBT: For Studying Abroad
You register for TOEFL iBT through an ETS account and pay in US dollars. The fee for Indonesia is about US$200, or roughly Rp3.2 million to Rp3.3 million depending on the exchange rate. Buying a voucher through ITC Indonesia costs Rp3.75 million (VAT included). Extra fees apply for late registration or rescheduling.
Since January 2026, iBT scores use a 1 to 6 band scale, with the old 0 to 120 scale still shown during the transition period. Scores are generally valid for 2 years.
Money-saving tip: if all you need is TOEFL ITP, donāt take the iBT. The difference can be around Rp2.5 million.
5. IELTS: The iBT Alternative
From August 1, 2026, IELTS at the British Council in Indonesia costs Rp3.6 million for IELTS Academic and General Training, and Rp4.06 million for IELTS for UKVI (for UK visa purposes). The British Council in Indonesia also stopped offering paper-based IELTS on June 21, 2026, so its tests are now computer-delivered.
You can also take IELTS through IDP Indonesia. Its price may differ slightly, so check the IDP website directly. IELTS scores use bands 0 to 9 and are generally valid for 2 years.
Tips to Avoid Paying Twice
- Check the requirements first. Which test, what minimum score, and is a prediction test accepted? See TOEFL ITP vs iBT vs IELTS.
- Mind the validity period. Scores are generally valid for 2 years, so donāt test too far ahead of your application deadline.
- Practice before you pay. Take a full simulation to see where you stand. If your practice score is still far from your target, postpone the official test and fix your weakest areas first.
- Check prices on official sites. All figures here are as of October 2026 and may change.
