Middle Row


The middle row of your dash contains your "mid-level" metrics, or Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).


Global SpeechRater Rank

This KPI represents your ranking among a large group of worldwide TOEFL test takers. It provides a comparative measure of your TOEFL Speaking performance in relation to others whose responses have been scored by SpeechRater. The rank is determined based on various factors, including your SpeechRater scores and performance on different speech dimensions. The Global SpeechRater Rank allows you to gauge your standing and performance in a broader context, giving you an idea of how you compare to a global pool of test takers.


Average Response Speed

This KPI refers to the average rate at which test takers deliver their responses in the Speaking section on My Speaking Score. It is calculated by determining the total duration of all recorded responses and dividing it by the number of responses. This metric provides an insight into the typical speaking pace of users on the platform. Monitoring the Average Response Speed can help test takers assess their own speaking rate and compare it to the average speed of other users, allowing them to make adjustments if necessary to improve their fluency and delivery.


Average SpeechRater Scores (by question number)

These 4 KPIs provide an overall assessment of your performance across all four tasks of the TOEFL Speaking section. They calculate the average score you received from SpeechRater for each individual task, giving you an indication of your task-level speaking proficiency based on the automated scoring system and how close you are to your SpeechRater Target.


Bottom Row


The bottom row of your dash contains your "granular" metrics, or Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).


Average Dimension Scores

These KPIs display the average percentile scores for each of the 12 dimensions assessed by SpeechRater.

The scores are norm-referenced, indicating how your performance compares to that of other test takers. These averages help you understand your strengths and areas for improvement across different dimensions of your speaking abilities. #learnmore
