What your TOEFL iBT score means to the institutions that receive them
Because different institutions use TOEFL iBT scores for different reasons, policies regarding their use can vary widely. Some institutions, such as professional organizations or governmental agencies, require minimum acceptable scores for various programs or requirements. If you are taking the TOEFL iBT for these reasons, it is best to contact the organization or institution requiring your TOEFL iBT scores to find out what score is considered acceptable.
If you are taking the TOEFL iBT as an entrance requirement to a college or university program, you should contact your program to find out what score is considered acceptable. Different institutions, and even different programs within the same institution, often have different minimum acceptable TOEFL iBT scores.
