How to Read These Results

Treat this calculator as a reference. Every requirement in our database is verified against each school's official admissions page at the time of indexing, but universities update their published minimums quietly and often. Before you submit an application — or rule a school out — open the official admissions or English-proficiency page for your specific program and confirm the current number.

Meeting the published TOEFL minimum is also one piece of the application, not a guarantee of admission. Highly selective programs use the TOEFL minimum as a baseline filter; the decision itself depends on academic record, entrance tests (GRE/GMAT), recommendations, statement of purpose, work or research experience, and program-specific factors. A score above the minimum strengthens your file; a score at or below it does not, by itself, predict an outcome.

If your current score is in the Reach range, the Score Gap Planner turns the gap into a section-level study plan; if you only have an old 0–120 score, the TOEFL Score Converter maps it to the 1–6 band scale before you compare against published minimums.

Frequently Asked Questions

The two modes solve opposite problems. 'I have a score → show qualifying schools' takes your TOEFL 2026 band and returns a filtered list of universities you qualify for, with each school labeled Safer, Match, or Reach based on the gap between your score and their official minimum. 'I have a school → check requirement' works in the opposite direction: you pick a specific country, degree level, school, and program, and the tool tells you whether your scores meet that school's exact published requirement (overall band plus any section-level minimums). Most students use the score-first mode first to build a balanced school list, then switch to the school-first mode to confirm fit for individual targets.
