【How to submit TOEFL iBT Scores】
Obtain a TOEFL iBT score by the application deadline for the entrance examinations. (Make sure that youcan see your score at the ETS website by the application deadline.) Please note the Validity Period for a
TOEFL iBT score (see p. 2).
According to the website of ETS Japan LLC. (as of December 2023), applicants can check theirscores on their account at the ETS website about 4-8 days after the test date. For convenience, weconsider that your TOEFL score has been obtained by the application deadline if its test date falls
within the Validity Period for a TOEFL iBT score (see p. 2).
Due to potential problems during the TOEFL iBT test, such as network or audio troubles, you may
need to retake the test, or it may take a long time for your score report to be issued. We recommend
you take the test early so that the score report will arrive at the Graduate School of IST in time. In
particular, please note that it is not uncommon for applicants taking the TOEFL iBT Home Edition
to fail to complete the test for some reasons.
Be sure to request for ETS to send your score to our graduate school (see "Score Recipient Information"
given below) when you apply for the TOEFL test.
If you fail to do so, contact ETS to arrange it as soon as possible before the application deadline for theentrance examinations.
If you request ETS to transmit your score and there is no problem during your TOEFL iBT test, we will
receive your score report online about two weeks after you take the test. We will accept the score
report if we can confirm it.
* You may send us all the score reports if you took multiple tests. However, only the score with the appointment numberand test date stated on your application form (see ④) will be valid.
