Understanding the Test

The best way to prepare for the TOEFL is to know as much as possible about the exam. Below is some information that will help you prepare.

How is the TOEFL iBT different from the old test?

The TOEFL iBT is an integrated skills test. This means that it tests your ability to use the English language by testing your reading, listening, writing and speaking skills. There is no grammar test. The new TOEFL iBT is only about testing communication skills.

What is the new speaking test like?

The speaking test is about 20 minutes long. There are six tasks to complete and you record your answers onto a computer using a microphone. You might be asked to give your opinion on a subject, or summarize some information from a short lecture you have listened to. It is testing your ability to understand university level lectures and respond to questions about them.

How does the TOEFL iBT test integrated skills?

There are three ways:

How is the TOEFL iBT scored?

Your TOEFL score is based on a reading test, a listening test, a speaking test, and a writing test. Each section is worth 30 points, giving a total score of 120 points.

You read, listen, then speak in

response to a question

Or, listen, then speak in response

to a question

Or, read, listen, then write a

response to a question

Sample TOEFL iBT Questions

Are You Ready for the TOEFL? Try the sample reading questions below. Check on our website for the correct answers and explanations.

Reading
The Arch in Architecture.
For centuries early architects struggled with basic questions: how can the space between wide door frames and walls be bridged? How can the single wooden lintel at the top of a door frame support the weight of the wall above it? It was not until the perfection and routine use of the arch that the answers to these questions were found. Arches allowed higher ceilings, wider floors and more open space in cathedrals, palaces and governmental structures. They also solved such mechanical problems as cracking lintels and collapsing walls.

Writing
Q.1 Some people believe that students should be given one long vacation each year. Others believe that students should have several long vacations throughout they year. Which viewpoint do you agree with? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice. Q.2 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People behave differently when they wear different clothes. Do you agree that different clothes influence the way people behave? Use specific examples to support your answer.
The other type of writing task is the integrated writing task. Example: Summarize the points made in the lecture you just heard, explaining how they cast doubt on the contents of the reading.

Q.1 The discussion of arches in the passage is organized in terms of (a) the doorway design developed by different culture (b) successive improvements in arch design (c) different types of stone used to build arches (d) the kinds of buildings in which arches were used Q.2 The word routine in the passage is closest in meaning to (a) boring (b) regular (c) basic (d) scheduled
