Help me, I got my TOEFL score! Thu Dec 20, 2007 7:39 am  Help me, I got my TOEFL score!
 

HIIIIIII guys,

Greetings !

I got my TOEFL score, but the reading score was very low Comparing with the other sections. I also expected it will be way better than just one!
This doubtful result made me asking if there is possibility for any technical error.

Reading 1
Listening 23
Speaking 25
Writing 25


What can i do ?? HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ;(

Hi Yaya,

Yes I think it's best you just ask your test center why there is such a discrepancy in your score report.

Regards,
Torsten

That sounds totally like an error - and most likely a technical one. To see two such situations like this also shows me it's not a freak one-off situation.

You should absolutely contact ETS and inquire about it. I believe they do have a facility for re-scoring, but I get the feeling if the data had a problem or error the first time around, it may have ended up lost permanently. The reading and listening sections are of course rated automatically (as opposed to speaking and writing which involve some human input).

I wonder how often this sort of problem has happened? Given the time, stress and expense involved in taking the iBT, I feel genuinely sypathetic to anyone who has experienced this sort of situation.

Chase them about it! I think even ETS would have to admit that scores of 1 or 2 in the reading section just do not correlate with scores over 20 in the other sections. It has to be their error.

Best of luck with it,

- Jason

Toefl makes same scoring errors in Turkey! Fri Mar 21, 2008 21:18 pm  Toefl makes same scoring errors in Turkey!
 

I got Toefl score, and my sections are : Reading:6 Listening:22 speaaking:19 writing:18 As you can understand easly it is impossible for me to take 6 from reading section.During the exam I did not face any technical problem and I did not face personal problem such as illness, I could easily understand all questions and I gave my answers as I did thousands of times before. Everthing was normal but my reading score is 6! All my course exams and all kind off Toefl materials show that my reading level is better than 20. How can I get just 6 in the reading section while I can get 20's other sections. Speaking and writing section have integrated questions as everybody knows, if my reading is really 6 how i can do integrated questions well???
ETS is making some techical error! I heard same problems from many people in Turkey and all over the world. We are spending both our money and time for this exam but ETS does not care this problem.We should sue ETS! If any lawyer reads these complaints please help us, ETS should pay all its errors offenses!!
