Score Use

Scores are used to measure how well you might do in real-life situations where you are required to listen and read in English.

Score Validity

Scores are used to measure a test taker's English proficiency at the time that a test is administered. Because English-language skills may improve or decline over time, a score report will not be re-issued if two years have passed since taking the test. ETS does not require testing centers to retain test administration data beyond two years.
