How to use the speaking level checker
Job postings often list both exams, asking for something like OPIc IM2 or TOEIC Speaking Level 6. Pick the levels you hold and the levels the posting asks for, and this tool checks each exam separately and then reports whether you qualify overall.
The first thing to be clear about is that no official equivalence exists between the two. They use different scoring scales and task formats, and neither test owner publishes a conversion. Charts that circulate online have no stated basis, so this tool never converts a level and compares only within the same exam.
Checks use an at-or-above rule. A requirement of IM2 is met by an IM2 result, and a lower level is reported as a number of steps short. Leave an exam you have not taken as not taken, and switch the requirement mode depending on whether the posting accepts either exam or demands both.
The two tables below list the nine OPIc levels and the eight TOEIC Speaking levels separately. Levels that happen to sit on the same row are not equivalent. OPIc levels follow the ACTFL proficiency descriptors, while TOEIC Speaking score bands come from the test owner, so score conversion is not supported here.
Frequently Asked Questions
There is no official equivalence. The two exams use different scoring scales and formats, and neither test owner publishes a conversion. This tool only compares levels within the same exam and shows the two scales next to each other.
Yes. Postings normally ask for a level or higher, so a requirement of IM2 is satisfied by an IM2 result. The check here works the same at-or-above way.
Yes. Leave the exam you have not taken as not taken. When a posting accepts either exam, the one you did take decides the result. If both are required, switch the requirement mode and check again.
