iBT Scores Set by Universities


TOEFL iBT Scores Set by Universities and Other Score Users
Graduate Health Professional Associations

Universities and other institutions that use TOEFL® scores have begun to set their TOEFL iBT score recommendations or requirements. These initial score standards will be reviewed by the institutions after the first year of testing.

The TOEFL iBT score scale is:

Test Section Score Range
Listening 0 to 30
Reading 0 to 30
Speaking 0 to 30
Writing 0 to 30
Total Score 0 to 120

TOEFL iBT provides more information about the applicant’s abilities to communicate in an academic English language environment. To make best use of the score information, some institutions plan to set section or skill score requirements either by themselves or in combination with a total score, while others plan to set a total score standard.
