The BestMyTest TOEFL learner performance data is a free dataset about how our learners do in TOEFL practice. It counts their answers, reviews, and recordings, and it shows where they gain and lose points. Our TOEFL guide pages quote its figures. You can quote them too: the data is under a CC BY 4.0 license, so you only need to name BestMyTest as the source.
What the TOEFL Learner Performance Data Covers
The data covers TOEFL practice on BestMyTest from January 2016 to October 2026, on the previous test format and the current one. It holds these figures:
- Correct-answer rates for each reading and listening question type, and how they changed with the 2026 format
- Scores for each current item type, such as Complete the Words and Build a Sentence
- Band shares in full practice-test sections
- Average criterion scores from our tutors and our AI for writing and speaking
- The most frequent writing corrections and the length of answers
- Speaking fluency and pronunciation figures from speech scoring
Each guide page gives the exact count behind each figure it quotes.
How the TOEFL Learner Performance Data Is Measured
Every figure is a count or an average of real practice on BestMyTest. We recompute the data every three months. A question-type percentage is the number of correct answers divided by the questions answered. A criterion figure is the average score our tutors or our AI gave, on the scale named next to it. Band figures convert each 0 to 30 section score to the 1 to 6 scale with the table our score report uses. Reading and listening figures combine the previous format, up to January 2026, and the current adaptive format. Select in Passage figures start in July 2026, after we fixed how it was scored. Recordings with no clear speech are left out. The data holds no names, answers, or audio, only counts and scores.
TOEFL Learner Performance Data Files
The figures and the anonymous rows behind them are published as files for researchers: one summary file and nine CSV files, such as tutor writing scores and practice-test section scores. Each row is one answer, review, recording, or test section, with its date and scores.
