TOEFL iBT Scores

Getting scores

Upon completion of their test, test takers can view their unofficial scores for Reading and Listening, and also see the date they can expect to receive their official scores in their ETS account. Official scores are available as soon as 4 days after their test.

Score delivery time to designated score recipients varies based on how they have chosen to receive TOEFL scores.

All score reports include MyBest^® scores, which are the combination of the test taker’s highest section scores from all TOEFL iBT test dates within the last 2 years.¹

See Scores on the test-taker website for more information.
