There is no universal TOEFL pass score
ETS does not set a passing or failing score for TOEFL iBT. Colleges, universities, employers and other score users decide what results they require. A score that meets one program’s rule may not meet another’s, even at the same institution.
Find the requirement that actually applies to you
Start on the receiving institution’s official page, and then confirm the policy for your specific course, department, intake and applicant category. Do not rely only on a general university page or a third-party list that may be out of date.
Check whether the program lists a 1–6 overall score or an older 0–120 requirement.
Look for minimum scores in Reading, Listening, Writing or Speaking in addition to the total.
Confirm that the specific TOEFL test setting is accepted and that scores will still be valid by the deadline.
Ask whether the program accepts MyBest scores if you plan to submit them.
Build a target around evidence
Once you know the official requirement, take a current-format practice test and compare your performance skill by skill. Set a working goal at or above the published minimum, with time to retake the test if your result falls short. Your plan should account for deadlines and any score-report delivery time.
If a requirement is unclear
Send the admissions office the exact wording of the requirement you found and ask which current TOEFL score value it wants. During the transition, ETS supplies both the 1–6 scores and a comparable 0–120 overall score on current reports. Let the institution interpret the result rather than guessing at a conversion.
A “good score” is one that satisfies the current rules of the organization receiving it and supports your application. No score alone guarantees admission.
