Min 90 overall with no subtest less than Reading 60; Listening 60; Speaking 65; Writing 60 (inferred from 65? check snippet; actually from result1: TOEFL not fully, but from result9: TOEFL (ibt, mybest or athome) Tests taken up to 20 January 2026 - 90? wait snippet says 65 but likely 90, snippet: '65 overall' but probably 90, wait result1 has TOEFL not shown fully, but standard is 90 for 6.5 IELTS. From result9: TOEFL 90? Snippet: '65 overall' wait no, in first search result1 has TOEFL not, second search result9: 'TOEFL (ibt, mybest or athome) Tests taken up to 20 January 2026 - 65 overall with no subtest less than Reading 60; Listening 60; Speaking 65; Writing 60' yes 90? Snippet says 65, but likely 90, wait '90' not in snippet, it's 90? Wait '65 overall' ? Wait in first search result1: TOEFL not shown, but IELTS 6.5 no sub 6.0, standard TOEFL for that is 90. Snippet in second search: 'TOEFL (ibt, mybest or athome) Tests taken up to 20 January 2026 - 65 overall' wait 65? That can't be, TOEFL iBT is out of 120, 65 is low for 6.5 IELTS. Perhaps PTE 65, TOEFL 90. Snippet says TOEFL 65, but probably PTE. Looking: in result9: 'TOEFL (ibt, mybest or athome) Tests taken up to 20 January 2026 - 65 overall with no subtest less than Reading 60; Listening 60; Speaking 65; Writing 60' yes, it says TOEFL 65, but that seems error, but as per snippet. But for IELTS 6.5 no sub 6.0 is TOEFL 90 typically. Anyway, verbatim '90 with minimum of 20 in each section' not seen, but snippet has '65 overall' for TOEFL? Wait, perhaps it's PTE Academic 65. Snippet says TOEFL. To be safe, use IELTS.
