TOEFL Junior Scores
TOEFL Junior score reports are a valuable tool that can help you guide your students.
They include section and total scores as well as "can-do" statements that you can use to
help students, parents and instructors understand students' proficiency levels and
progress.

3. Scores can be useful for international benchmarking because they are mapped to CEFR
levels, and they are matched with Lexile® measures, which makes it easier for
instructors to help students choose books at the right reading level to improve their
English reading proficiency.
The TOEFL Junior tests measure a student's current level of English-language
proficiency and are not designed to be a predictor of future TOEFL iBT® scores.
Because language proficiency is likely to change over time, institutions are advised not
to use test scores that are older than two years.
