What is TOEIC Scoring?
The TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) is scored on a 10-990 scale for the Listening and Reading test, making it the most widely recognized English proficiency test for workplace communication. Developed by ETS (Educational Testing Service), TOEIC is administered to over 7 million test-takers annually across 160+ countries.
Your TOEIC Listening and Reading score consists of two independent section scores: Listening (5-495) and Reading (5-495). These two section scores are simply added together to produce your total TOEIC score (10-990). The test contains 200 multiple-choice questions with no penalty for wrong answers, so your raw score is simply the number of correct answers converted to the scaled scores.
TOEIC scores are aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), ranging from A1 (beginner) to C1 (advanced). Proficiency levels include: No Useful Proficiency (10-180), Memorized Proficiency (185-250), Elementary Proficiency (255-400), Elementary Proficiency Plus (405-600), Limited Working Proficiency (605-780), Working Proficiency Plus (785-900), and International Professional Proficiency (905-990).
Unlike academic English tests, TOEIC focuses on practical business English used in workplace contexts, making it essential for international business, employment, and professional development. TOEIC scores are accepted by major corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions worldwide.
