For calculating TOEFL scores, both human raters and automated scoring methods are used. This is done in order to offer a complete and accurate picture of the candidate’s ability. While the automated scoring method has the advantage of being unbiased, it does not measure the effectiveness of the language and content. Human raters are required to attend to a wider variety of features, such as the quality of ideas and content as well as form.
The four section scores of the TOEFL are divided as follow:
| Section | Score Range | Mean Scores* |
|---|---|---|
| Reading | 0–30 | 20 |
| Listening | 0–30 | 19 |
| Speaking | 0–30 | 19 |
| Writing | 0–30 | 20 |
| Total Score | 0–120 | 80 |
