TOEFL iBT is a computer-based academic English test, popular for US and Canadian admissions. We coach all four skills with practice in the same on-screen, adaptive format.
Test of English as a Foreign Language (iBT)
| Section | Time | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Reading | Adaptive | Academic and everyday texts. The second part adapts to how you did in the first. |
| Listening | Adaptive | Lectures, conversations and announcements, also adapting to your performance. |
| Writing | Timed | Typed tasks, including writing for an academic discussion. |
| Speaking | Timed | Short spoken responses recorded on the computer. |
Since 21 January 2026, each section and the overall score are reported on a 1–6 scale in half-band steps, aligned with CEFR levels. Score reports also show the familiar 0–120 scale during a transition period of about two years, so check which score your universities ask for.
Universities across the USA and Canada, and many in the UK, Europe and Australia. Visa acceptance varies by country, so check before you rely on it for a visa.
Every practice test runs on a computer, so typing, note-taking and timing feel natural on test day.
