Updated April 26, 2022
ETS, the developer of the TOEIC tests, regularly revisits its assessments to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of test takers and score users. In line with this practice, ETS made refinements to the TOEIC® Speaking Test and the TOEIC® Speaking & Writing / TOEIC® Speaking official score certificates.
These changes do not affect the test difficulty range or score scale.
