Two students, one number 750
- Mei says, "I got 750!" Jack says, "Me too!" Mei means her TOEFL Junior Standard total out of 900. Jack is talking about a different test.
- The same number can mean different things. First learn the scale 量表, then the number makes sense.
Three tests in one family
- ETS has three TOEFL Junior tests: Standard (multiple-choice listening, grammar and reading), Speaking (4 recorded tasks) and Writing (4 task types).
- Your school chooses which tests to give. Many schools give only the Standard test; some add Speaking and Writing.
All three tests are for students in middle school and the first years of high school.

Writing is also 0–16. Only the Standard test uses 200–300 per section.
What the numbers mean
- Each Standard section is a scaled score 量表分 from 200 to 300, in steps of 5. The total is the three sections added together: 600–900.
- ETS links each score to a CEFR level 欧洲语言共同参考框架等级. For Listening and Reading: 210–240 is A2, 245–285 is B1, 290–300 is B2. Language Form and Meaning uses slightly different cut-offs (A2 210–245, B1 250–275, B2 280–300).
Score report: Listening 265, Language Form and Meaning 255, Reading 240.
- Total: 265 + 255 + 240 = 760, which is in the 730–780 band (overall level 3, "Expanding").
- Reading 240 is still A2. That is the section to work on first.

For Reading, 245–285 is B1. 245 is the first B1 score.
Raw scores are not scaled scores
- If you get 30 out of 42 right on a practice set, that is a raw score. ETS adjusts every test form for its difficulty, so you cannot turn 30/42 into a number between 200 and 300 yourself.
- Use practice counts to see progress and to find your weak question types, not to predict your exact report.
If you get 35 out of 42 right on a practice set, your Reading score will be 35 ÷ 42 × 300.

ETS equates each form and converts correct answers onto its own scale. A raw count cannot be turned into a scaled score by a simple formula.
How you take the test
- You do not book it alone online. A school, a language centre or a local ETS office arranges the test and gives you the date.
- For the paper Standard test you need several No. 2 or HB pencils, a good eraser and a consent form signed by a parent.
