    What changed in 2026

    On 21 January 2026 the TOEFL iBT moved to a 1–6 scale in half-point steps, aligned to the CEFR — a score of 5 corresponds to CEFR C1. Your overall score is now the average of the four sections, rounded to the nearest half band, exactly like IELTS. For a two-year transition, score reports also show a comparable 0–120 overall score, so use whichever scale your university still lists.

    Reading your new score

    On the 1–6 scale, 5 (C1) is the level many universities expect, and 5.5–6 is upper-C1 to C2. Because your overall is an average, lifting your weakest section is the fastest way up. For a fuller breakdown see the TOEFL score guide. To raise your score, target your weakest section with AI feedback on Writing and Speaking practice, where rubric-based feedback moves scores fastest.

    TOEFL score calculator — FAQ

    Since 21 January 2026, the TOEFL iBT uses a 1–6 scale in half-point steps. Each section (Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing) is scored 1–6, and your overall score is the average of the four sections rounded to the nearest half band — the same method IELTS uses (e.g. an average of 5.25 rounds to 5.5).

    It's being phased out. New score reports lead with the 1–6 scale and a CEFR level, but for a two-year transition after January 2026 they also show a comparable overall score on the 0–120 scale (the midpoint of the matching range). Scores taken before the change remain on 0–120.

    A 5 aligns with CEFR C1 (≈ IELTS 7), which many universities expect; 5.5–6 is upper-C1 to C2. There's no universal cut-off — check each program's required level, which may now be published as a CEFR level or a 1–6 score alongside the old 0–120 minimum.

    It's based on the official ETS TOEFL iBT–IELTS comparison and is approximate — useful for planning, not an official equivalency. Institutions set their own accepted scores for each test.
