- Scores Set by Universities and Other Score Users
Colleges and Universities that use TOEFL scores for student admissions have begun to set their TOEFL iBT score requirements. These initial score standards will be reviewed by the institutions after the first year of testing. A number of institutions plan to set section or skill score requirements either by themselves or in conjunction with the whole score, at the same time as others plan to set a total score standard in order to make best use of the score information.
The TOEFL iBT score scale is:
