How soon can I expect my official TOEFL iBT results after the recent test changes?
Official TOEFL iBT results are currently available to you 3 days after you take the test, under the recent format changes. This turnaround applies alongside other updates, including adaptive Reading and Listening sections, new Speaking task types, and a 1 to 6 band scoring system for your overall performance.
Once you finish your TOEFL iBT, you do not have to wait long to see your official results. Under the current test format, your score report is ready just a few days later.

Other Changes That Come With This Turnaround
This faster result timeline exists alongside the newer adaptive Reading and Listening sections, additional Speaking task types, and the 1 to 6 band scale now used for scoring, so the quicker results are part of a broader set of updates.
My Advice
Time your TOEFL attempt so that the 3-day result window still leaves you comfortably ahead of your earliest university deadline, rather than booking your slot at the very last moment and hoping your score arrives in time.
