- The TOEFL Primary test is the new assessment from ETS that helps you shape young students’ English-language instruction in a way you never had before. They are designed for students ages 8+ and measure the English skills that provide a foundation for students’ future success.
As parents, we want our children to be strong in languages especially in English as it is a global language. In order to help our children improve linguistics capabilities, we need to know their strengths and weaknesses. Therefore a reliable evaluation is the first step to success.
The TOEFL Primary scores are mapped to Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) levels to give students the ability to see their level on a global scale and to let teachers have a more in-depth understanding of their students’ English proficiency.
Teachers will be able to place students into respective classes that match with the students’ ability, to enhance the learning experience.
The Lexile score of the students enables teachers and parents to find books that suit the student’s English proficiency level, to facilitate learning.

The number of correct responses in each section is converted to a level of 1–5 Badges and a scale score of 104–115. Some students may receive 1 badge and a scale score of 100, and these students are recommended to take Step 1 for better information about their proficiencies in English reading and listening.
