TOEIC® LISTENING AND READING TEST SCORE OVERVIEW

The TOEIC® Listening and Reading test is not a pass-or-fail test. Test results indicate your proficiency levels in listening and reading in the English language.

​

Scores on the TOEIC Listening and Reading test are determined by the number of correct answers, which is converted to a scaled score. The score report provides listening, reading and total scaled scores. The total scaled score is derived from adding the two scaled scores together.

Score Descriptors

The TOEIC® Listening and Reading Score Descriptors (PDF) provide additional information for understanding a test taker's strengths and weaknesses and for identifying areas that need improvement.

The TOEIC® Listening and Reading Can-Do Guide (PDF) may help you understand TOEIC® scores.

Scoring Process

The scoring process is a critical factor when evaluating a quality assessment. Listening and reading skills are measured using multiple-choice questions with which the objectivity of scores is certain. The scoring of multiple-choice answer sheets is automated and quality control procedures ensure accuracy.

​

Score Validity

Scores are used to measure a test taker's English proficiency at the time that a test is administered. Because English-language skills may improve or decline over time, a score report will not be reissued if two years have passed since taking the test.
