The validity of the TOEFL exam scores is typically 2 years from the test date. This means that:

• Scores are valid for 2 years from the test date

• After 2 years, scores are no longer valid or reportable

• Test-takers can retake the test to obtain new scores

It's important to note that:

• Some institutions may choose to accept older scores, but this is rare

• Scores can be reported to institutions for 2 years from the test date

• Test-takers can download and print their score reports from the ETS website during this 2-year period

It's always best to check with the institution or organization you're applying to for their specific requirements and policies regarding TOEFL score validity.
