TOEFL iBT - Minimum Score Maximum Benefit!

When explaining the Score of TOEFL iBT one can simply point out that "THE MORE THE BETTER".
I will not get into that rather I will talk about the MINIMUM Score that you should achieve to get the MAXIMUM output ( i mean that will be accepted by almost all the university).

First lets look at the score explanation. Hope you know that in TOEFL iBT the maximum score that you can have in any section is 30. There are 4 sections. So the Total mark is 120.
Look below the Score interpretation of TOEFL-



Now the question is what is the minimum score I should get to get the maximum benefit?
ITS SIMPLE -

1. Reading skills - 22 (High)
2. Speaking Skills - 20 (Fair) 
(If you want to become TA you need 26 or higher)
3. Listening Skills - 22 (High)
4. Writing Skills - 20 (Fair) 
(If you are into research you need 24 or higher)

{Total - 84 only for maximum benefit and 
94 for best score race!}

Well with these score you can apply almost anywhere. But If you are targeting Top 100 universities of the world simply target 100+ (with higher individual section requirement!) . I have seen asking score ranging from 79 to 107!
Feel free to ask me any question regarding this score issue!
