What are the maximum number of TOEFL attempts permissible in an academic year?

One can take the TOEFL examination innumerable times in one academic year, provided there is a gap of 12 days between each test. TOEFL has 50 examination dates per year. For every retest one has to pay the test fee. Each time candidates wish to reappear they have to pay around USD 200. Also, it is advisable to avoid repeat tests, as some universities monitor and take into account the number of retakes of the exam. Continuous repeat examinations display either the student's inability to rectify their previous mistake or their lack of interest. However, some colleges/ universities are only concerned with the required marks and also occasionally ignore the number of attempts made. They only take into account the minimum score to clear the TOEFL exam.
