How TOEFL Is Scored: The 1–6 Scale and MyBest Score

 

The TOEFL iBT uses a 1–6 scoring scale, with scores reported in 0.5 increments and aligned with CEFR proficiency levels. During the transition period until January 2028, score reports also include a comparable score on the previous 0–120 scale. The overall score is calculated by averaging the four section scores and rounding to the nearest half band.

MyBest Score combines your highest section scores from valid tests taken within the past two years, although acceptance depends on the university. Y-Axis TOEFL coaching helps you understand the scoring system, practise each section and prepare for your target score.

 

TOEFL Score	Comparable Old Score	CEFR Level
6.0	114–120	C2
5.5	110–113	C1
5.0	100–109	C1
4.5	87–99	B2
4.0	72–86	B2
3.5	57–71	B1
3.0	42–56	B1
