Enter your three TOEFL ITP Level 1 section scaled scores. Your total score and CEFR level update instantly.
The total score is calculated as (Listening + Structure + Reading) ÷ 3 × 10, the official TOEFL ITP Level 1 formula. CEFR levels follow the ETS TOEFL ITP score mapping. The approximate iBT figure is a rough guide via the shared CEFR level, not an official ETS ITP-to-iBT concordance, so confirm the exact score your institution accepts.

1. How the TOEFL ITP Score Is Calculated
The TOEFL ITP Level 1 total score runs from 310 to 677. It is calculated from three section scaled scores: Listening Comprehension (31 to 68), Structure and Written Expression (31 to 68), and Reading Comprehension (31 to 67). The total is the sum of the three section scores, divided by three, then multiplied by ten. The calculator above applies that formula for you.
A worked example: a test taker who scores 54 in Listening, 53 in Structure, and 56 in Reading has a section sum of 163. Dividing by three gives about 54.3, and multiplying by ten rounds to a total of 543. That total sits at the bottom of the CEFR B2 band.
The TOEFL ITP is a paper-based test that reuses retired TOEFL questions, so it does not include a Speaking or Writing section. That is the single biggest difference from the TOEFL iBT and the reason an ITP score cannot be read as an iBT score.
2. TOEFL ITP Score to CEFR Level
ETS maps TOEFL ITP Level 1 total scores to four CEFR levels. A total of 627 to 677 corresponds to C1, 543 to 626 to B2, 460 to 542 to B1, and 337 to 459 to A2. Scores below 337 fall under the A2 threshold. These figures are cut scores, meaning the minimum needed to reach each level, and they are listed in full in the table above.
The CEFR level is the most useful way to read an ITP result, because it is comparable across tests. A B2 on the ITP describes the same broad proficiency as a B2 on the iBT or IELTS, even though the raw scores look nothing alike. Most universities that accept the ITP state their requirement as a total score or a CEFR level rather than an iBT equivalent.
Because the ITP has no Speaking or Writing section, its CEFR mapping reflects only reading, listening, and language-form skills. If a program needs proof of speaking or writing ability, it will usually ask for the iBT instead. You can see how the iBT band and CEFR scales line up in the TOEFL scoring guide.
3. What Is a Good TOEFL ITP Score?
A good TOEFL ITP score depends on what you need it for. As a rough guide, a total of 543 or higher reaches CEFR B2, the level most undergraduate and many graduate programs treat as a working minimum. A total of 627 or higher reaches C1, the level competitive and postgraduate programs often look for. For placement into an intermediate university course, many institutions set the bar around 460, the start of B1.
Always check the exact number your institution asks for, since the ITP is frequently used for internal placement rather than admissions, and each program sets its own cutoff. Browse published requirements on the university TOEFL requirements pages to see the range of scores programs ask for.
4. TOEFL ITP vs TOEFL iBT
The TOEFL ITP and the TOEFL iBT are different assessments. The ITP is a paper-based placement test scored 310 to 677 across three sections, with no Speaking or Writing. The iBT is the test used for university admission worldwide, scored 0 to 120 across four sections including Speaking and Writing. Because the two use different scales and measure different skills, there is no official ETS table that converts one directly into the other.
The only sound bridge between them is the CEFR level. If your ITP total puts you at B2, then a B2-level iBT score, roughly 72 to 94, describes a similar proficiency. The approximate iBT figure in the calculator uses exactly this CEFR bridge, so treat it as orientation, not as an admissions score.
If you actually need an iBT score, prepare for that test directly. Work out an iBT total from section scores with the TOEFL score calculator, and practise the full four-section format with a free full TOEFL mock test.
5. How to Raise Your ITP Score
Because the ITP total weights all three sections equally, the fastest gains usually come from your weakest section. A single section point is worth just over three total points, so lifting a 47 to a 54 in one section moves the total by more than twenty points. Use the section minimums in the CEFR table to see which skill is holding your level back.
The Reading and Listening skills the ITP tests overlap closely with the iBT, so iBT practice material transfers well. Sharpen reading and listening with TOEFL reading practice and TOEFL listening practice, and build the grammar accuracy the Structure section rewards by reviewing the scoring guide.
6. Frequently Asked Questions
What is the TOEFL ITP score range?▾
TOEFL ITP Level 1 total scores range from 310 to 677. They come from three section scaled scores: Listening (31 to 68), Structure and Written Expression (31 to 68), and Reading (31 to 67). The total is the section sum divided by three and multiplied by ten.
How is the TOEFL ITP total calculated?▾
Add your three section scaled scores, divide the sum by three, and multiply by ten. For example, 54 plus 53 plus 56 equals 163, divided by three is about 54.3, times ten rounds to a total of 543. The calculator on this page does this automatically.
What CEFR level is my TOEFL ITP score?▾
On the ETS mapping, a total of 627 to 677 is C1, 543 to 626 is B2, 460 to 542 is B1, and 337 to 459 is A2. The calculator shows your CEFR level as soon as you enter your section scores.
Can I convert a TOEFL ITP score to a TOEFL iBT score?▾
Not directly. ETS does not publish an official ITP-to-iBT conversion, because the tests use different scales and the ITP has no Speaking or Writing. The only reasonable bridge is the shared CEFR level, which is what the approximate iBT figure here is based on. Use it as a guide, not as an admissions score.
Is a TOEFL ITP score accepted for university admission?▾
The TOEFL ITP is mainly used for placement, progress checks, and some scholarship or exchange programs rather than for degree admission, which usually requires the TOEFL iBT. Always confirm which test and score your specific program accepts before you rely on an ITP result.
