 •  If a candidate takes another version of the TOEIC test, they will probably obtain slightly different scores from those they received the first time. 

 
 •  If they took several versions of the test within a short period of time, they would obtain a number of scores that center around an average value known as their "true" score. Two thirds of the time, their total score would be within 35 POINTS of their true score.
