Scores on this screen stay on the raw 0-5 rubric. Official TOEFL 2026 reporting uses a 1-6 section band on the full section, not on a single item.
Accuracy
3.0
Most words are present, but the verb ending and comparative form do not stay exact.
Intelligibility
3.0
The recognizer can recover the sentence, but clipped endings make the delivery less reliable.
Working well
Accuracy: Most words are present, but the verb ending and comparative form do not stay exact.
To improve
Accuracy: Repeat "opens earlier" as a single chunk so both small forms survive together.
Intelligibility: Slow down slightly on the last two content words so the forms stay clear.
