Scoring of the Test

[L.Rodriguez]

I am wondering what the exam is graded out of. How many points does each of the sections consist of, and which areas are the most important to concentrate on.

Also how long do you have to take the exam?

TOEFL iBT is graded on a scale, but basically each of the four sections (reading, listening, writing, and speaking) counts for 30 points. The highest possible score is 120. All areas are important for achieving a high score. Moreover, even though grammar (structure) is not tested directly on the computer-based test, it is a significant factor in the scoring of the writing and speaking sections.
