Hi

I just got a 98 in toefl's 2nd attempt.....heres the breakdown:

reading 24 listening 24 speaking 26 writing 24....

should i go for the writing rescore? even if it goes up, is 100 good enuff to get in dental schools? really not willing it to give for the 3rd time 🙁

Thanks

Are you applying for this cycle?
If I were you, assuming you are applying, I'd probably apply first with this score but study some more and take the test again. Writing rescore is an option, and 100 is an okay score, but I'd probably try to get a great score.
It's application time right now and there's so much more to prepare for the application, so try to juggle stuff. Without board scores, the only "numbers" the committee sees is TOEFL and GPA. Sure people get accepted with 100 or even 95, but many don't. So the decision comes down to how do you maximize your chances. But a 98 with an amazing personal statement is more compelling than a 103 with a poor SOP, everything matters.

Good luck!

yes i m applying for this cycle...i m thinking of getting the writing section rescored...till then i ll prepare for part 2....if the score doesnt go up i ll give toefl again...so keeping in mind the time remaining i.e till july (i need to give part 2 in august), should i give it again or should i apply with a 100? chances of admission will be going down rite?

Calculate your time left and the things you need to get done along with how much time each thing will take. 98 is not an ideal score, but yes people do get accepted with those too. If it was me I'd try to retake it though, at least try and if I don't score well, leave it but if it goes up than great, send in the new score.
There isn't one thing that will make the deal, there are things that could break the deal but your score isn't that, unless you want to apply to schools that have 100 minimum score requirement.
It's not possible for anyone to tell you exactly what to do to get accepted because the application has so many factors that influence its outcome.

I got a 98 the first attempt and an 88 the second time! Extremely shocked and I don't think I will retake it for the third time … what a waste of a money ! I think I will just use the old score

WIll rescoring in teofl help us to increase the score?

I just took it last week and scored 112 . If you want you can tell me in which aspects you are scoring low and I can try to guide you. I only reviewed for 2 days and went for exam. Its fresh in my mind, so I might be able to help you.

HI y'ALL I've seen this post and i thought i could give you some info based on my experience..people who have TOEFL score less than 100 I would sincerely advice you to retake..there are few lucky chances where you get acceptance below 100. Its totally my opinion.
