Well, if you look at Table 3 for TOEFL (Graduate students) - 108 is 86%.

Yes, but it's for Graduate Students (Master, PhD). I am talking about all academic test takers (undergraduate, graduate, trainee, employee ... ).

And the IELTS data is not entirely comparable. But assuming that those who take Academic IELTS for attending a formal educational institution longer than 3 months come from the same sample as the guys mentioned in the TOEFL table #3, 7.5 is only awarded to 5% of such test takers.

To me, it looks like you want a lot of noise in your statistical sample; say, Australian doctors who want to work in the UK must take IELTS to get a work permit; Commonwealth Countries use the test for other formal purposes, even if English is your native language, e.g. Canada and South Africa are contributing to that process. These people skew the sample because there are a lot of them, and they invariably do much better than ESL students.
