    TOEFL ® Score Scales


    There is a score range for each skill
    measured on the TOEFL iBT ® test. Each skill
    has 4 or 5 proficiency levels. For more
    information, see Performance Descriptors
    for the TOEFL iBT ® test (PDF).

    Total 0–120
    Score

    Although the score range for each of the 4


    test sections (Reading, Listening, Speaking,
    and Writing) is from 0 to 30, each section is a
    separate measure and each measure has its
    own scale. Therefore, scores obtained on a
    section can be compared to other scores
    from the same section, but it is not
    appropriate to compare scores across
    different sections.

    The Reading and Listening sections are


    scored by computer with a score range from
    0 to 30. The Reading section has 30–40 tasks
    based on reading passages from academic
    texts and answering questions. The Listening
    section has 28–39 tasks based on listening to
    lectures, classroom discussions and
    conversations, then answering questions.

    Speaking Section
    Each of 4 tasks is rated from 0 to 4. The
    sum is converted to a scaled score of 0
    to 30.
    ETS-certified test scorers rate
    responses and evaluate how well you
    develop your topic and deliver your
    message in English.

    See the TOEFL iBT Speaking Section Scoring


    Guide (PDF).

    Writing Section
    Feedback

    The 2 tasks are rated from 0 to 5. The


    sum is converted to a scaled score of 0
    to 30.
    The Writing section is scored by:
    evaluating the integrated writing
    task for development,
    organization, grammar,
    vocabulary, accuracy and
    completeness
    rating the independent writing
    essay on overall writing quality,
    including development,
    organization, grammar and
    vocabulary

    Human rating — multiple, rigorously


    trained raters score tests anonymously.
    ETS raters are continually monitored to
    ensure fairness and the highest quality.
    eRater ® automated scoring technology
    is used with human ratings to score the
    independent and integrated writing
    tasks. Using both human judgment for
    content and meaning with automated
    scoring for linguistic features ensures
    consistent, quality scores.
