TOEFL now uses a revised 1–6 score scale and updated score report formats for tests taken on or after January 21, 2026. For additional details on these changes, see the TOEFL iBT® 2026 Updates.
With the February ’26 Recruitment Manager release, TOEFL test score fields accept decimal values in 0.5 increments to support the 1–6 scale, and the new fields let you capture both legacy and updated TOEFL scores.
