How Abertay handles TOEFL scores
Both TOEFL rows are valid for two years. The page does not mention the Home Edition, MyBest scores or an institution code.
For comparison, the same page says most undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses need IELTS 6.0 with no component below 5.5, while courses such as Mental Health Nursing, MSc Counselling and research degrees need IELTS 7.0.

If your TOEFL score is below Abertay's level
The page does not describe a TOEFL route into pre-sessional English or conditional offers. If your course lists a higher IELTS level, such as 6.5 or 7.0, the page does not give the matching TOEFL score, so confirm it with admissions before booking.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Abertay programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
