Question 1

Is CEFR C2 equal to TOEFL 114 to 120?

Accepted Answer

On the published concordance, yes. CEFR C2 and TOEFL 114 to 120 are treated as close equivalents. A concordance is a statistical match, not a promise of acceptance, so check what your university or visa stream asks for.

Question 2

What CEFR score do I need for TOEFL 114 to 120?

Accepted Answer

TOEFL 114 to 120 corresponds to CEFR C2. Aiming a few points above the bottom of that range gives you room for a bad day on one skill.

Question 3

What CEFR level is CEFR C2?

Accepted Answer

CEFR C2 sits at CEFR C2. That is read from the Council of Europe's own CEFR alignment rather than converted through another test, because each test owner publishes its own.
