The TOEFL results comprise four different scores : a total score (0-300),
a separate score for Listening section (0-30),
a separate score for Structure/Writing section (0-30) and
a separate score for Reading section (0-30).
The total score is reported on a scale from 0 to 300.
Note that your Essay score will individually be rated (0-6). However the essay score is incorporated into the Structure/Writing scaled score with the rating of essay constituting approximately one half of the Structure/Writing scaled score. You get to know your Listening and Reading section scores immediately after taking the test. You will also see your Structure/Writing scores as score ranges because your essay will not yet have been read and rated. Your final score will be within the range shown on the screen after you finish the test. As the evaluation of essays take about 2 to 4 weeks, your Official TOEFL score reports, which include the Writing scores, are mailed approximately two to four weeks after you take the test and take another ten days or so to reach your address.

How the Test Is Scored
In the Listening and Structure sections, more credit is given for correctly answering a hard question than for correctly answering an easy question. Therefore, your score on these portions of the test depends not only on how many questions you answer correctly but also on which ones you answer correctly.
Your score from the Structure section is combined with your written essay rating to form a Structure/Writing scaled score. Each part accounts for 50% of your Structure/Writing score. The Writing score also is shown separately under the heading, “essay rating.”
