All three tests are utilized globally. In FY2012, TOEIC tests were administered to roughly seven million people, in approximately 150 countries, by more than 14,000 companies and other organizations in Asia, Europe and America, and elsewhere.

Advanced


Intermediate

In Japan, the TOEIC Test was administered in FY2012 not only to individuals but also adopted by approximately 3,200 companies, organizations, schools, and other groups. Companies have ut i l i zed the TOEIC Test to eva luate the effec t iveness o f human-resource development and English training and to gauge the English skills of new employees; test scores are also used as a criterion for overseas trips or assignments, career advancement, and promotion. At schools, the test is utilized to evaluate student proficiency levels and measure the effectiveness of instruction, and also serves as an entrance examination or a standard for accreditation of units. Since the evaluation standards of the TOEIC Test remain constant over time, it is possible to track progress in English over an extended period of time, spanning from the time a person leaves university to joins a company. Thanks to these features, the TOEIC Test has been widely used for a variety of purposes.

Ⅰ. Trend in the number of TOEIC Bridge examinees (FY2001 to FY2012)

In Japan, the TOEIC Bridge was administered in FY2012 not only to individuals but also adopted by approximately 540 companies, organizations, schools, and other groups. TOEIC Bridge is designed to evaluate English proficiency at the beginner and intermediate levels. TOEIC Bridge features English that is easier, more familiar, and shorter in length than the English in the TOEIC Test, and has been utilized by companies, universities, high schools, and other organizations for training and placement purposes. The TOEIC Bridge is also used by English learners who are not yet ready to take the TOEIC Test but want to prepare for it.

The figures for FY2007 and subsequent years were rounded to the nearest thousand.The figures from FY2001 to FY2006 were rounded to the nearest hundred.

Guidelines for understanding the score comparison table

Statistical Relationships between the TOEIC Bridge® Scores andthe TOEIC® Listening and Reading Total Scores

●The TOEIC scores are predicted from the TOEIC Bridge scores using the data (N=15,569) randomly drawn from the examinees in Japan and South Korea. This is simply because the two countries have the largest number of TOEIC Bridge examinees worldwide.

●The data was collected from November 2000 to September 2005. All the examinees took the two tests within six months. Examinees took the tests in the Secure Program (SP) and/or Institutional Program (IP). Most of the examinees took the TOEIC Bridge test first, then the TOEIC test.

●The average age of test takers in the sample was 20 years old. The largest two education groups were university/college (31%), and high school (23%).●The predicted scores may be sample-dependent. Results shown here may not be generalized to other samples.●Although the TOEIC Bridge results are expressed in a total score between 20 and 180, this table only shows the score range between 90 and 160. This is because the TOEIC test has many more questions that measure higher ability levels ("more than 180") than the TOEIC Bridge test. On the other hand, the TOEIC test has few questions suited for "less than 90" level while the TOEIC Bridge test is meant to measure lower ability levels. Hence, Educational Testing Service (ETS) determined that the range of TOEIC Bridge scores either "less than 90"or "more than 160" are not appropriate for comparison purposes.

＊ETS has recently reexamined the score comparison table and made an adjustment to a score relationship. Examinees scoring 150 or higher (formerly 160 or higher) on the TOEIC Bridge should consider taking the TOEIC test. (Last modified: August 2007)

Ⅰ. Trend in the number of TOEIC SW examinees （FY2006 to FY2012）

In Japan, the TOEIC SW Tests was administered in FY2012 not only to individuals but also adopted by approximately 140 companies, organizations, schools, and other groups. Companies use the tests as a way to develop global human resources, such as evaluating potential recruits and new employees gauging the effectiveness of training, as well as a criterion for overseas assignments. Schools utilize the TOEIC SW Tests as a means to evaluate the effectiveness of classes and overseas study and to assess academic performance, and also to assist students’ career development. TOEIC SW Tests have also been utilized as the next step for those who achieved a certain level on the TOEIC Test.

TOEIC® Speaking and Writing Tests


●These tables provide statistical relationships between the TOEIC Listening & Reading Total scores and the TOEIC Speaking or Writing scores. The data were collected in the spring of 2007 from Japan and Korea with a total of 2,064 examinees who have taken the TOEIC Listening, Reading, Speaking, and/or Writing tests within a limited time period. The column labeled “Mean Listening & Reading Total Score” is simply the average L&R Total Score of the examinee sample within the specified total score range.●The score relationships were developed based on the average performance of the examinees included in the study. Test scores of an individual examinee may not exactly follow the average patterns shown here. Therefore, the most reliable and valid way to measure an examinee’s proficiency in Listening, Reading, Speaking and/or Writing is by directly taking relevant TOEIC test(s) rather than by attempting to infer an examinee’s predicted score(s) from known score(s).●These results are likely sample-dependent. Score users should not over-interpret these prediction tables. The tables simply represent statistical relationships between the TOEIC Listening and Reading test and Speaking or Writing test based on a fairly limited examinee sample. Prediction results will likely change over time as examinees’ listening, reading, speaking and writing skills change.

The chart can be used as a guideline to predict scores on the TOEIC Test from scores on TOEIC Bridge and to predict scores on TOEIC SW Tests from scores on the TOEIC Test. For example, a person who scored 140 on TOEIC Bridge would be likely to score approximately 395 on the TOEIC Test; and a person scored of 550 on the TOEIC Test would be likely to score approximately 110 on the TOEIC Speaking Test and 110 on the TOEIC Writing Test. This is not a correlation chart for each test, however, so please note that it is not possible to predict TOEIC Bridge scores from TOEIC scores, TOEIC scores from TOEIC SW Test scores, TOEIC SW scores from TOEIC Bridge scores, or TOEIC Bridge scores from TOEIC SW scores.

The chart illustrates the “Statistical Relationships between the TOEIC Bridge Scores and the TOEIC Listening and Reading Total Scores” and the “Statistical Relationships between the TOEIC Listening and Reading Total Scores and the TOEIC Speaking or Writing Scores.” Please refer to pages 10 and 16 for more details.

CEFR has been widely implemented in Europe and America as a guideline prepared in Europe that indicates the proficiency levels of foreign language learners. In six levels of linguistic ability from A1 to C2, the TOEIC Programs roughly measure English proficiency from A1 to C1 levels.

＊CEFR stands for “Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.” It is a framework created for the purpose of properly evaluating linguistic ability based on the need to create a common criterion for Europe in response to the mobility of its human resources.

＊Numbers indicate minimum scores corresponding to each level (based on information from the official ETS website).

The proficiency scale above is based on the results of validity studies undertaken by Educational Testing Service (ETS) to verify the relationship between communicative proficiency and TOEIC scores. Please use it only as a guideline for assessing communicative proficiency in English on the basis of the TOEIC scores attained.This proficiency scale should be viewed with consideration for the specific circumstances and the communication needs of the situation in which each individual will be placed. The actual score interpretation in terms of English language proficiency is at the discretion of individuals, schools, or organizations depending upon their specific requirements.

Within his/her own realm of experience, the individual is capable of sufficient understanding and can typically respond with appropriate expressions even about topics outside of his/her field of specialization.Although speaking ability is not equivalent to that of a native speaker, the individual has a strong grasp of vocabulary, grammar and structure and the ability to use the language relatively fluently.
