Receiving and Understanding Your Scores

Your TOEFL test payment entitles you to

i. one printed examinee’s score record

ii. up to four official score reports that ETS will send directly to the institutions or agencies you designate when registering for the test

Score recipients can be added or deleted online up until 10 p.m., Eastern Time (New York) on the day prior to the test date. ETS will send an examinee score record to you and official score reports to institutions 15 business days after you take the test. The printed score report that is mailed to you will contain all of the final section scores as well as your total score.

For the Internet-based test, you will receive four section scores and a total score:

i. Reading (0-30)
ii. Listening (0-30)
iii. Speaking (0-30)
iv. Writing (0-30)

v. Total Score (0-120)

In addition to numeric scores, your examinee score record also includes performance feedback that indicates your performance level and a description of the kinds of tasks that test takers within the reported range can typically do. Your scores are based on your performance on the questions in the test. You must answer at least one question in each Reading and Listening section, write at least one essay, and complete at least one Speaking task to receive an official score report.
