Hi guys,
Does anybody know if it's possible to take the TORFL (Test Of Russian as a Foreign Language) exams online, or in Australia?
I enjoy taking exams to guage my progress and fuel my studies, but I've only been able to find testing centres in Russia and Eastern Europe, which is a little far away for me to travel.
Any comments would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob.

Unfortunately I believe you're limited to the testing centers you found in Russia and Eastern Europe.
I did some research into taking it as well about a year ago, and all I could find was what you mentioned.
I'd love to take it as well, but the distance to travel for a testing center plus all the required paperwork for visas and whatnot makes it not worth it.

I asked the same question few months ago and never got any answer :). I was interested in
a possibility to take any Russian proficiency test in this part of the world, but there
seems to be no such thing here.
Since I already want to visit Russia in some (relatively) near future, I decided to try
then. It seems that tests are available throughout the year.

http://en.russia.edu.ru/russian/test/or http://en.russia.edu.ru/russian/test/im/are links to the offical Russian Federation web site (English) for testing centers. (If in the future the links are dead, do a search for either Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation and TRKI (TORFL), or Министерство образования и науки Российской Федерации Тест по русскому языку как иностранному (ТРКИ). They over see the testing and should have a complete listing the Enlgish or Russian language web site.)
By the way if you are wanting to check your level, but not take the offical test. Here is a link to most levels practice papers. http://www.england-moscow.com/2009/09/russian-language-test. html
