The TOEFL iBT® test measures your ability to use and understand English at the university level. It evaluates how well you combine your listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills to perform academic tasks.
Recognised by more than 11,000 universities and institutions in over 150 countries — including the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and Europe — the TOEFL is one of the world's most respected academic English tests, with over 27 million people worldwide having taken it.
Though IELTS and TOEFL have similarities in how they assess language skills, TOEFL is computer-based and poses a unique set of challenges — particularly for Asian students. KU's expert coaching bridges that gap.
The TOEFL iBT® is scored on a scale of 0–120. Each of the four sections carries 0–30 points.
| Skill | Score Range | Performance Levels |
|---|---|---|
| Reading | 0 – 30 | High (22–30) · Intermediate (15–21) · Low (0–14) |
| Listening | 0 – 30 | High (22–30) · Intermediate (15–21) · Low (0–14) |
| Speaking | 0 – 30 | Good (26–30) · Fair (18–25) · Limited (10–17) · Weak (0–9) |
| Writing | 0 – 30 | Good (24–30) · Fair (17–23) · Limited (1–16) |
| Total Score | 0 – 120 | Reading & Writing are assessed by fully automated computer-based exam. Speaking & Writing are evaluated by both automated scoring and human raters. |
