Test rules at Católica Lisbon
The bachelor's page lists 100 as a recommended score rather than a strict cut-off and says the minimum English level to apply is B2. Certificates must be provided before the start of the programme. The pages do not mention the Home Edition, MyBest or an institution code. On the same bachelor's page, the recommended IELTS score is 7.0 with no subscore below 6.0.
TOEFL iBT score reports issued since January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score alongside the 0 to 120 total; see our guide to the new TOEFL score scale. The page above gives only 0 to 120 figures, so that is what this guide reports.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Católica Lisbon programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
