Average TOEFL Scores for Immigration, Employment, and Grad Programs (2024)
I wrote about average TOEFL scores needed for immigration, employment, and grad school here, ETS has since published an update for 2024.
The overall scores had very little shift, with a slight decrease in the overall mean.
| Purpose | 2023 Avg | 2024 Avg | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | 86.6 | 85 | -1.6 |
| Employment | 84.7 | 83.9 | -0.8 |
| Immigration | 85.9 | 86.2 | +0.3 |
| Grad Program Applicants | 89.3 | 89.0 | -0.3 |
Getting a 90 means you are doing better than about half of all test takers, a 108 means you're in the top 10%, and 116+ means you're top 1%.
