TFI scores are valid and reported for 2 years from the test administration date, and they are mapped to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). The total test score is a combination of the Listening Comprehension and Reading Comprehension scores and it ranges from 10 to 990 points (5 to 495 points for each section).
For every TFI test administration, the local ETS Preferred Network (EPN) office provides scoring services. After the TFI test is scored, test results are reported to the test taker's institution in the form of a score roster.
Score rosters are sent to institutions and provide valuable information for institutions wanting to compare test takers' relative skills. They are for internal use only and cannot be used by test takers as an "official" score.
They include:
The EPN member can produce additional specialized reports (e.g., the results for all of an institution's candidates who took the TFI test during a given time period) at a client's request.
An individual score report is a simple listing of a test taker’s listening, reading and total scores. It is supplied to each test taker when the TFI test is administered.
