The envelope arrives
- Lin opens her TOEFL Junior Standard score report and sees four numbers, a level and a strange word: Lexile. Which one matters?
- All of them, for different jobs. This lesson shows you how to read the report and turn it into a plan.
What is on a Standard score report
- Three section scores (200–300 each), a total (600–900), an overall score level with a short description, and a CEFR level for each section.
- A Lexile measure 蓝思值: a number that helps you choose English books at the right reading level.
- Listening 255 · Language Form and Meaning 265 · Reading 250 · Total 770.
- 770 is in the 730–780 band: overall score level 3, "Expanding".

730–780 is overall level 3, Expanding.
Section scores tell you where to work
- The total hides the shape. Two students with 780 can be very different: one strong in reading, one strong in grammar.
- Compare each section with its CEFR band 等级区间. The weakest section is where an hour of practice changes most.
- Listening and Reading: A2 from 210, B1 from 245, B2 from 290.
- Language Form and Meaning: A2 from 210, B1 from 250, B2 from 280.

No pass, no fail
- ETS sets no passing score 及格分 for TOEFL Junior. Each school decides which scores it accepts, so ask the school, not a friend.
- Scores are equated: ETS adjusts for the difficulty of each test form. That is why a practice count like 30 out of 42 cannot be turned into 260.
ETS says 750 is the passing score for TOEFL Junior Standard.

You want to know which score your new school needs. Who should you ask?

Acceptable scores depend entirely on each institution.
Why can't you turn 30 correct out of 42 into a section score yourself?

Scores are equated across forms, so the same raw count can give different scaled scores.
The Lexile measure
- The Lexile number matches you with books you can read without getting lost. A higher number means harder texts.
- Use it to pick graded readers or library books. Reading for fun every week is one of the best ways to raise the Reading score.
What is the Lexile measure on the report for?

It matches readers with texts at the right level.
A higher Lexile measure means you can read harder texts.
Kesulitan 1/5 · 100 koin + bonus kecil pada penyelesaian pertama hari ini
Higher Lexile numbers go with more difficult texts.
Set a target you can reach
- Pick one section to raise first and a target band, for example Reading from 240 (A2) to 245+ (B1).
- Write the target as an action: "Two reading passages a week, check every wrong answer, read 20 minutes a day." A number alone does nothing.
- A target like "get 900" is not a plan. It is a wish with a calculator.
Which target is the most useful?

Certificates
- In some places a school can ask the local ETS office for a Certificate of Achievement. It shows your name, scores, test date and place.
- The score report is the main document; the certificate is a nicer copy to keep.

Recap
- Report = three section scores, total, overall level, CEFR per section, Lexile measure.
- No pass or fail: the school decides. Raw practice counts are not scaled scores.
- Find the weakest section, set a band target and write the weekly actions.
Use a real or imagined score report (for example L 250, LFM 255, R 240). Write: the weakest section, its CEFR band now, your target band and two weekly actions.
A plan names one section, one band and actions you can check every week.
