How Illinois Wesleyan handles TOEFL scores
IWU accepts TOEFL MyBest scores in addition to TOEFL scores from a single test date. Scores more than two years old are not accepted.
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. Where a page above gives only a 0 to 120 figure, that is the figure this guide reports.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at a 6.5 band score.

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