Users of TOEFL Access can now download a sample score report (PDF) from that service’s help page. 

The sample report seems to confirm that score reports will include the new 1-6 score scale as well as a legacy 1-120 overall score… but no legacy 1-30 scores for each individual skill. I suppose those could be included elsewhere, but it doesn’t really LOOK like that is the case.

The challenge here is that some key stakeholders (including a majority of Russell Group schools) haven’t yet updated their cut scores for individual skills.  American and Canadian schools don’t generally institute section score requirements, so they have the luxury of dilly dallying for two years thanks to the inclusion of an overall legacy score. Schools in the UK, which usually require specific section scores, do not.

But it isn’t just schools that need to get moving. Indeed, quite a few foreign trained pharmacists I’ve talked to are a bit anxious about the fact that the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy hasn’t yet issued new score requirements.
