I've done this before but can't remember what my score was previously. This time I got 35,100.

FYI, our students, particularly if they're trying to study abroad, should be aiming for a vocab of roughly 10k words. To score relatively well on the TOEFL or IELTS they should know (and be able to use) about 8k words, and for the SAT they need at least 10k words.
