TOEFL scores and CEFR levels.
I'm a native Spanish speaker, but I've been learning English since I was 12. Now I'm 24 and my skills have improved substantialy, but I still find it difficult to achieve a mastery level on a non-native language.
I'm wondering, if native English speakers took the TOEFL, would they get CEFR C2 scores?

I'm not familiar with TOEFL but IELTS is similar I think. A lot of native speakers would not get a top score. In particular I think the writing would be difficult simply because getting coherence and answering the question might be tricky. They would also make grammar mistakes. Reading and listening would also lead to errors especially with time pressure. Speaking should be ok but talking for two minutes on a topic without running out of ideas could be difficult if you didn't like the subject.

I passed the Toefl ibt and got 99 points. I am sure that native speakers won't have problems with only the speaking part. All the rest will be a big problem for any native speakers.
The main reason is the Toefl tests not only English but rather brains of students.
