Junior® Standard test overall score levels  \nThe following table shows the TOEFL Junior® Standard test overall score levels, total scale scores, overall performance descriptors and Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) typical profiles. The table was based on a research study published in 2015 and was refined in 2021, after analysis of the scores ofall test takers between 2016 and 2018.  \nPerformance descriptors represent performance in middle schools using English for instruction and show what atypical student at that level can do. The CEFR profile indicates the CEFR section-level scores atypical student would achieve on their overall TOEFL Junior score level. Because the overall score level is based on the total scale score achieved in the three test sections, the typical CEFR profile might not always apply to each individual student. For this reason, the CEFR level of each test section appears separately on the frontpage of the score report.  \n\n| Overall score level | Total scale\u003Cbr>score | Overall performance descriptor | CEFR profile |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 5\u003Cbr>Superior | 865–900 | Consistently demonstrates comprehension of complex written and spoken materials, drawing on knowledge of complex language structures and vocabulary. | B2 for all sections |\n| 4\u003Cbr>Accomplished | 785–860 | Often demonstrates comprehension of complex written and spoken materials, drawing on knowledge of complex language structures and vocabulary. | B1 for all sections |\n| 3\u003Cbr>Expanding | 730–780 | Demonstrates comprehension of some complex written and spoken materials and most basic materials, drawing on knowledge of basic language structures and vocabulary. | Mostly B1 for all\u003Cbr>sections, but\u003Cbr>occasionally A2 |\n| 2\u003Cbr>Progressing | 625–725 | Occasionally demonstrates comprehension of basic written and spoken materials, drawing on knowledge of basic language structures and vocabulary. | Mostly A2 for all sections, but occasionally A1 for Reading and Listening |\n| 1\u003Cbr>Emerging | 600–620 | Can comprehend some very basic written and spoken texts, drawing on knowledge of basic language structures and vocabulary, but needs to further develop these language skills and comprehension abilities. | Mostly A1 for Listening and Reading; mostly A2 for Language, Form and Meaning |\n\nCopyright © 2025 by ETS.
