About the TOEIC test
What does TOEIC Listening and Reading measure?
TOEIC Listening and Reading assesses how well non-native English speakers understand written and spoken English in workplace and everyday professional situations. It measures comprehension rather than specialist business knowledge.
Questions use contexts such as meetings, travel, recruitment, purchasing, schedules, customer service, finance and office communication. Universities, employers and training organisations use TOEIC scores to set English requirements and document progress.
University
Admission and graduation
Provide an English score for a programme, diploma or international study application.
Employment
Recruitment and promotion
Demonstrate workplace English for internships, recruitment or internal mobility.
Professional mobility
A score linked to a specific objective
The right target is the score requested by your school, employer or training organisation—not a generic number pulled from thin air.
Test format

TOEIC scores
How the TOEIC score works
Listening and Reading are each scored from 5 to 495. The two section scores are combined to produce a total between 10 and 990. There is no universal pass mark.
Your required score depends on the institution or employer requesting it. Confirm that requirement first, then build your preparation around the gap between your current result and target.
View the TOEIC score conversion guide →Indicative combined TOEIC score
B1
550–784
Develop reliable workplace comprehension and test control.
B2
785–944
Improve speed, accuracy and complex comprehension.
C1
945–990
Refine advanced comprehension, precision and consistency near the maximum score range.
CEFR alignment also depends on meeting the ETS minimum score for both Listening and Reading. Combined scores provide general guidance only.
