What is the TOEFL iBT format?

The TOEFL iBT consists of four sections: Reading (2 passages, ~36 questions, 35 min), Listening (3–4 lectures and 2–3 conversations, ~28 questions, 36 min), Speaking (4 tasks, 17 min), and Writing (2 tasks, 29 min). Total test time is approximately 3 hours.

How is the TOEFL scored?

Each of the four TOEFL iBT sections is scored on a scale of 0–30, giving a total score range of 0–120. Scores are available online approximately 4–8 days after the test and are valid for 2 years from the test date.

What is a good TOEFL score?

A score of 80–100 is generally considered competitive for most universities, while top-ranked institutions often require 100 or higher. Many graduate programs require a minimum of 90–105. Some schools also set minimum section scores, particularly for Speaking (26+).

What is the difference between TOEFL and IELTS?

TOEFL focuses on American academic English and is entirely computer-based, whereas IELTS uses British English and offers both paper-based and computer-based formats. TOEFL uses multiple-choice and integrated tasks; IELTS includes a face-to-face speaking interview. Both are widely accepted globally, but some institutions prefer one over the other.

How long are TOEFL scores valid?

TOEFL iBT scores are valid for two years from the test date. After this period, institutions may not accept the scores. ETS will send score reports to designated institutions, but you should verify each school's policies on score validity before applying.
