A score of 85 on TOEFL is good to go, and you can be admitted to some top universities abroad. However, note that the TOEFL score requirement differs for various courses and universities. Singapore universities ask for a TOEFL iBT score of 85-100 on 120. Master of Business Administration requires international students to have a minimum TOEFL iBT score of 86, whereas a Bachelor in Data Science requires them to have a score of 74 to enroll and apply to JCUS.

James Cook University Brisbane is not the most competitive university to get into, as its acceptance rate stands at 79%.
