TOEFL Writing rubric score 3.0: what band that is
A Writing response scored 3.0 on the 0–5 rubric maps to an estimated band 4.0, which ETS aligns with CEFR B2.
The figures
- Writing rubric score
- 3.0 out of 5
- Estimated bandReach120 estimate
- 4.0
- CEFR level for that band
- B2
- Previous 0–30 Writing range
- 17–20
How these figures were arrived at
The rubric-to-band step is a Reach120 estimate (docs/scoring/BAND-CONVERSION.md): ETS publishes no conversion from its 0–5 rater rubrics to the 1–6 band scale, so band 4.0 is our derivation and is marked as derived above. The band-to-CEFR alignment and the previous 0–30 Writing range are ETS's own published tables, transcribed with their read dates.
