TOEIC score conversion: understand your result
The TOEIC Listening and Reading test gives two scaled scores from 5 to 495, for a total from 10 to 990. Use this guide to understand the scale, CEFR thresholds and a rough practice-test estimate.
There is no single public official raw-score conversion table that works for every TOEIC test form. Any raw-answer calculator is an estimate, not an official ETS result.
How the TOEIC score works
Listening and Reading are scored separately. The two scaled scores are then added together.

Important: raw answers do not convert with one fixed universal table
ETS converts the number of correct answers into scaled scores. The precise raw-to-scaled conversion can vary between test forms so that results remain comparable. This page therefore separates official score ranges from the rough practice estimator below.
Estimate a practice-test score
Enter the number of correct Listening and Reading answers. The result is deliberately shown as a range because a practice calculator cannot reproduce the official form-specific conversion.
TOEIC score and CEFR conversion table
These are guideline minimum thresholds used to interpret TOEIC Listening and Reading results. Institutions may set their own admission, graduation or recruitment requirements.
| CEFR | Minimum total | Minimum Listening | Minimum Reading | Practical interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| < A1 | 10–119 | — | — | Below A1 guideline |
| A1 | 120 | 60 | 60 | Basic recognition of familiar words and simple information. |
| A2 | 225 | 110 | 115 | Basic communication and understanding of common everyday information. |
| B1 | 550 | 275 | 275 | Independent understanding of routine workplace and everyday English. |
| B2 | 785 | 400 | 385 | Strong independent understanding of more detailed professional English. |
| C1 | 945 | 490 | 455 | Advanced comprehension of demanding professional and academic English. |

No single public table applies perfectly to every test form. ETS uses statistical conversion procedures, and the exact raw-to-scaled relationship may vary between forms.
What CEFR level is a TOEIC score of 750?
A total score of 750 is normally interpreted within the B1 guideline range and is close to the B2 total threshold of 785. Section scores should also be considered.

Can a mini test predict my official TOEIC score?
A mini test can provide a useful starting estimate and identify weaknesses, but it cannot reproduce the length, statistical conversion or testing conditions of the official exam.
