How these figures were arrived at
Transcribed from ETS — TOEFL iBT score scale update (for institutions), in the direction ETS publishes it: IELTS band to TOEFL band. Nothing on this page is interpolated — where ETS publishes no pairing, no figure is shown and no page exists. Note that the section pairings do not all match the overall pairing, which is ETS's own table rather than an inconsistency in ours.
