TOEIC Reading section. The maximum raw score for the reading section on the TOEIC Listening
and Reading test is 100 points. The panel’s average recommendation for Level 2 reading (Table 5)
varied somewhat across the three rounds of judgments, going from 69.9 (Round 1) to 72.6 (Round 2)
to 74.4 (Round 3). The panel’s average recommendation for Level 3, similarly varied across the
rounds: 94.0 (Round 1), 93.3 (Round 2), and 95.1 (Round 3). The most variation among the panelists’
judgments for Level 2 occurred in the first round; the variation for Level 3 tended to be more
consistent across rounds, but did increase in Round 2. However, one panelist elected not to provide
a second-round judgment, out of concern that, although the TOEIC Reading section was judged
overall to be aligned with STANAG Level 3, the panelist did not support that alignment. This panelist
did, however, elect to provide a Round 3 judgment following the Round 2 discussion. The SEJ for the
TOEIC Reading section is less than 4 raw score points for Level 2 and slightly more than 2 points for
Level 3.
