Do most colleges in the US accept the TOEFL MyBest scores for international applicants? How do they view this as compared to regular TOEFL scores? I want to make sure I meet the requirements before I send in my applications.
Yes, many colleges in the US accept TOEFL MyBest scores for international applicants. TOEFL MyBest scores, also known as the TOEFL Superscore, combine your best individual scores from each section (Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing) across multiple test dates to create the highest possible composite score.
Colleges generally view MyBest scores similarly to regular TOEFL scores, as long as they meet the institution's minimum TOEFL score requirements. Your MyBest scores can demonstrate your language proficiency, and colleges understand that applicants may perform differently on different test dates. However, it is essential to research each college's specific TOEFL requirements, as policies can vary. Some institutions may only consider the scores from a single test date.
To ensure you meet the requirements, visit the college's admissions website or contact their international admissions office for more information. Be sure to confirm their policy on TOEFL MyBest scores and any minimum score requirements. Preparing well for the TOEFL and aiming to achieve the highest score possible on each section will increase your chances of meeting those requirements. Good luck!
