How does grading the Speaking and Writing tasks work?

ScoreNexus professional graders will grade your Speaking and Writing tasks using the same grading system and criteria used in the real TOEFL.

Each of your Speaking answers is graded from 0 to 4 — the highest grade for a Speaking task is 4. After all your Speaking answers are graded, you receive a total Speaking section score from 0 to 30.
