How does the TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition test compare with other English proficiency tests that can be taken from home?

Before you choose an at home English proficiency test, be sure to check whether it meets the quality and security standards required for it to be accepted by the universities to which you will be applying. The TOEFL iBT Special Home Edition test is identical in content, format, on-screen experience and scoring to the trusted TOEFL iBT test taken at a test center.

相比于其他可以在家考的英文考试,家庭版托福考试有什么特点?
在你选择一个家庭版英文考试之前,你首先应该确认你所参加的考试的质量和安全性,是否被你所申请的大学所接受。家庭办托福考试,被认为从内容上,模式上,屏幕的体验上,以及打分(准确性)性上,都与考场版考试是一样的。
 
The Special Home Edition test has a strong level of security that is comparable to the TOEFL iBT test taken in a test center because there are live, remote proctors for real-time human monitoring of the test taker, in addition to best-in-class artificial intelligence technology. As a result, universities can be confident in the scores they receive from this home edition of the TOEFL iBT test. Other tests offered at home without these security features may or may not be accepted by institutions.
 
相比于考场版的托福考试,家庭版的托福考试被认为有很强的安全级别,因为有一个活的远程的考真人考官在实时监控考生,而且他还有最强的AI人工智能技术。所以,大学对于他们所接受到的家庭版托福考试的成绩,有非常强的信心。其他的在家里进行的英语考试,因为没有这些安全的特性,很有可能不会被大学所接受。
