Hi leinahtan

A TOEFL-iBT score of 62 is probably the equivalent of a score of 5 or possibly 5.5 on IELTS.

Your TOEFL score indicates that your reading ability is extremely low. Do you really have so much trouble reading? Or did you freeze or get distracted during the reading part of the test?

Hi Leinahtan

No, I'm not 100% sure, but I think the estimate is probably pretty accurate.
I strongly recommend that you try to improve that reading score. Even if your total score is theoretically enough for admission, having such an extremely low score in one of the TOEFL sections is likely to cause you lots of trouble.

Dear Amy,

Well i live in Dubai-and do you recommend paper based. Probably i could do better in the paper- based test, than i did in the IBT.
I guess i was time- cousious and hurried in the reading part. Or do you think i should do IELTS

Is the evaluation lenient in India, than else where.

Thanks
nathaniel.
