About the TOEFL iBT
The TOEFL iBT is an internet-based academic English test accepted by universities worldwide, especially in North America. It has four sections – Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing – each scored 0–30 for a total of 0–120. Most competitive universities ask for 80–100+. The modern test is compact (about two hours) and every task simulates real university life: lectures, campus conversations, and academic discussion posts.
What you can practise here
Our TOEFL practice tests follow the official section formats with authentic-style academic passages, recorded lectures and conversations, and integrated tasks. Answers are checked instantly with explanations, and the built-in player lets you control audio speed – slow it down while you are learning, then push it back to natural speed before test day. Everything is free and requires no account.
Study tips from our teachers
In Reading, learn to skim the passage in 90 seconds before touching the questions – most answers follow paragraph order. In Listening, take notes on structure (main idea → examples → conclusion) rather than trying to write everything. For Speaking, practise the 15-second preparation habit: one opinion, two reasons, one example. For Writing, master the “Academic Discussion” task by practising 10-minute responses that clearly agree or disagree with one classmate and add a new point.
TOEFL or IELTS – which should you take?
Choose TOEFL if you type quickly, prefer multiple-choice questions and are aiming at North American universities; choose IELTS if you prefer a face-to-face speaking interview and handwriting is not a problem. Score-wise, TOEFL 90 roughly corresponds to IELTS 6.5–7.0.
