TOEFL retake

Question

I'm going to retake the TOEFL because one of the schools that I applied told me so. Apparently, they need a 22 on each section and I scored 20 on one section and a total of 100. Still, they need me to retake it :shock:

. anyway, I wanted to know if any one knows the retake policy - how many days we need to wait before retaking it etc? And how many days does ETS take to report TOEFL scores(I dont remember my last time :-D

) I have my GMAT test on march 26 but I want to be done with the TOEFL iBT and am planning on taking it next week end. Not sure if this is a good idea but I think I dont have a choice...The deadlines for this school are april 15 so I thought it is beter i finish TOEFL now itself. Thank You

There's a table on the ETS site which contains the details about which all days TOEFL is conducted and the tentative date by which the score will be sent. I don't know about the re-take policy though.

As per the site, my scores will be posted on March 11

The retake policy is the following: you can take toefl once in a 7 day period. If you take the test more than once in this period, your scores won't be reported. Besides that, I think there is no other restriction.
