Question 1

Is TOEFL 57 equal to PTE 39 to 46?

Accepted Answer

On the published concordance, yes. TOEFL 57 and PTE 39 to 46 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 TOEFL score do I need for PTE 39 to 46?

Accepted Answer

PTE 39 to 46 corresponds to TOEFL 46 to 59. 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 TOEFL 57?

Accepted Answer

TOEFL 57 sits at CEFR B1. That is read from ETS's own CEFR alignment rather than converted through another test, because each test owner publishes its own.

Question 4

Where do these numbers come from?

Accepted Answer

Pearson has not yet published a concordance between the refreshed PTE Academic and TOEFL iBT. This comparison goes through the IELTS band that Pearson and ETS each publish against, so treat it as an indication rather than an official conversion.
