64 *Based on 642,035 examinees who, on their TOEFL answer sheets, indicated that they were applying for admission to colleges or universities as graduate students. The data presented here are based on TOEFL test scores obtained by examinees from July

1993 through June 1995. It should be noted that this test record database includes both first-time test takers and repeating examinees. These tables simply summarize the performance of self-selected groups of examinees who took the TOEFL test during the period specified;

the data are not necessarily representative of the general population. In some countries, for example, virtually any high school, university, or graduate student who aspires to study in the United States or Canada may take the test. In other countries, government policies may regulate who takes the test. Table

4 gives actual ranges of observed scores for the period from July

1993 through June 1995. Table

5 shows the percentile ranks for section and total scaled scores for the total group. In Tables 6-9, examinees have been classified by their reason for taking the test (information supplied by them when they took it). These tables simply summarize the performance of self-selected groups of examinees who took the TOEFL test during the period specified. Table 7.
