Humphrey Fellowship Program  \nBhutan  \nEnglish Language Testing  \nU.S. universities require current English language test scores for Humphrey candidates from all countries outside the English-speaking Caribbean. Applicants with TOEFL scores lower than 525 on the paper-based test (PBT) or 71 on the internet-based test (iBT) are not technically eligible for the regular Humphrey competition but may be eligible for the Long-Term English program.  \nDue to the pandemic, we anticipate that some TOEFL testing centers may be closed in some areas, posing a challenge for interested candidates. If at all possible, Humphrey Fellowship candidates take the internet-based TOEFL exam (iBT), either in a testing center. Vouchers for the TOEFL shortly. However, if taking the TOEFL (or the IELTS) exam will not be a possibility for candidates in Bhutan, we have determined the official alternative testing option will be through Duolingo.  \nDuolingo English Test  \nThe Duolingo English Test can be taken at home using a stable internet connection and a computer that has a front-facing camera, a microphone, and speakers. The results of the Test are typically available in less than a week, and scores can be compared to those of the TOEFL iBThere: [https://englishtest.duolingo.com/scores.](https://englishtest.duolingo.com/scores. More)[ More](https://englishtest.duolingo.com/scores. More) information about the test, and test  \nrequirements, is available here: [https://englishtest.duolingo.com/](https://englishtest.duolingo.com/)  .  \nIf you require coupons for the Duolingo English Test because the TOEFL (or IELTS) exam will not be available for your candidates, please reach out to the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi as soon as possible. Duolingo English Test coupons differ from TOEFL vouchers in that they are pre-paid  ; thus, only the number of coupons that will actually be used should be requested (and not to exceed the number of TOEFL vouchers provided) . If a candidate takes the Duolingo English Test, they cannot later take the TOEFL exam utilizing the  \nIIE-provided vouchers – only one English proficiency exam can be paid-for by the Humphrey program per candidate, per application cycle.  \nNote: We do not require English proficiency test scores to be present at the time a candidate submits their application in Slate. We expect test scores to be submitted by the time of nomination (October 1), or immediately thereafter—no later than November.  \nAn Update About TOEFL Paper-delivered Testing (TOEFL rPDT)  \nIf your country only has access to the paper-delivered TOEFL (rPDT), we strongly recommend you consider the above option through Duolingo instead.","cbCaij96SvfTARaI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij96SvfTARaI","pdf",94935,"English","# English Language Testing Requirements\n## TOEFL Score Eligibility and Alternative Programs\n## Duolingo English Test as Official Alternative\n## Duolingo Coupons and Voucher Limitations\n## Application Submission Timing\n## Update on TOEFL Paper-Delivered Testing (rPDT)","[{\"question\":\"Which English tests does the Humphrey program accept for candidates from Bhutan when TOEFL iBT is unavailable?\",\"answer\":\"When TOEFL iBT is not possible, the Duolingo English Test is determined as the official alternative testing option.\"},{\"question\":\"What equipment and access are required to take the Duolingo English Test at home?\",\"answer\":\"The Duolingo English Test can be taken at home with a stable internet connection and a computer with a front-facing camera, microphone, and speakers.\"},{\"question\":\"Can a candidate use both Duolingo and TOEFL paid vouchers in the same application cycle?\",\"answer\":\"No. If a candidate takes the Duolingo English Test, they cannot later take the TOEFL exam using IIE-provided vouchers; only one English proficiency exam can be paid-for per candidate per application cycle.\"}]","ITELS-REQUIREMENT - Hubert H.
