<p>From the MIT admissions webpage:

In order to apply for freshman admission, you must take the required tests on or before the November test date for Early Action or the January test date for Regular Action... if you take the January test, you must list MIT as a school to receive your scores or we will not receive them in time for our review.

It's fine to take the January TOEFL (or SAT, as the case may be), but you need to notify MIT that you're taking the test on that date so they can be on the lookout for your scores when they arrive.</p>
