We, Iranian applicants, demand for cost reduction of TOEFL and GRE tests.

Due to bad economic conditions and a sharp difference in the value of the US Dollar compared to the local currency of Iran (Rial), the TOEFL and GRE test fees are a heavy burden on applicants, so that comparatively the cost of each of test is equal to two months median salary of an ordinary employee in Iran. These conditions deprive many students of the chance to participate in the test and repeat it, and unfortunately we will not be able to provide the necessary language requisites for applying to universities, etc. Therefore, we ask you to take steps to reduce the cost of TOEFL and GRE test fees in Iran, considering that the cost of these tests are less of an economic burden in most countries other than Iran.
