Tips for setting score requirements
You’ll want to set TOEFL iBT score requirements that help you bring in the right applicants. Here are some tips:
- Use all score information, not only the total score. Section scores can distinguish one applicant from another and provide a more complete picture.
- Review section scores routinely and consider setting minimum section score requirements for the skills that are most important to success in your program.
- Set flexible scores initially.
- Conduct periodic reviews of your score requirements.
- Consider whether English-language learning support is available at your institution. If it isn’t, you may need an initial higher level of proficiency.
All TOEFL iBT test delivery methods use the same content and score scale, so you shouldn’t set different score requirements for the Home Edition or the Paper Edition.
