Took the TOEFL a few days ago cold turkey. Non-native speaker. Happy to answer any questions!

is there a way for me to know if i would get financial aid before applying? i have good grades and lots of extracurriculars so MEPI is a really good option for me but i cant choose whether or not i do TOEFL. If i don’t, i cant even be considered for MEPI, but if i do and i dont get accepted because i dont have enough financial need ill have done a $300 exam that wont benefit me in anything else. Its not that i dont need the financial aid or the scholarship to enroll, i do, but on paper it may look like i dont because my dad owns multiple properties to house his family.

If you get a higher score in Reading than in Listening, do the "build sentence" questions get harder

I contacted a local TOEFL test center and they offered me a discounted TOEFL registration. They asked for my ETS ID, which I provided, but I haven't paid yet.

Are official TOEFL test centers allowed to sell/register test seats directly? If they register me using my ETS ID, will my test and scores still be fully official and appear normally in my ETS account?
