About this exam
The TOEFL iBT is an English proficiency exam commonly taken by international students applying to universities in the United States. It measures how well you can use English for academic and everyday communication; it does not decide admission by itself. Colleges and programs set their own English-language requirements and determine which scores they accept. The exam assesses reading, listening, speaking, and writing, with tasks that reflect both campus situations and academic material.
TOEFL iBT preparation should cover more than academic vocabulary. Reading tasks may ask you to find details and purpose in everyday texts, understand an academic passage’s main idea and supporting details, or draw an inference about an author’s purpose. Listening, speaking, and writing also test your ability to understand information and communicate clearly. Review the current ETS test format and score information for your test date, then build a study plan around your strengths and the skills you need to improve.
How to prepare for the TOEFL iBT
- Review reading skills in context: practice completing words from context, locating details and purpose in everyday texts, and identifying main ideas, supporting details, and implications in academic passages.
- Build regular, timed practice across reading, listening, speaking, and writing. After each session, note errors and whether they came from vocabulary, comprehension, organization, or time management.
- Use ETS’s official TOEFL iBT test-format and preparation materials to confirm the tasks and scoring information that apply to your test date.
