How is the TOEIC test scored?
Each candidate uses a pencil to mark answers on the answer sheet. The scores are determined by the number of questions answered correctly. The number of correct responses in each section, Listening Comprehension and Reading, is converted to a number on a scale of 5 to 495. Adding the two section scores together gives a total score on a scale ranging from 10 to 990. There is no penalty for wrong answers.
