How the real TOEFL iBT is scored
TOEFL iBT (2026) reports four section scores plus an overall score on a 1-6 CEFR-aligned scale in half-point increments. During a two-year transition window, a comparable 0-120 overall is also reported so institutions can apply the requirements they already use. There is no fixed 'pass' - each university sets its own minimum (commonly an overall plus per-section minimums). Scores are valid for 2 years.
- 5.5 - 6.0 (C1 - C2, Advanced)Meets the requirement of virtually any university worldwide, including the most competitive graduate programmes. Signals confident, accurate academic English across all four skills.
- 4.5 - 5.0 (B2+ / C1, Upper-Intermediate to Advanced)Required by many strong universities and graduate courses. Comfortable academic English with only occasional lapses; meets typical competitive admission thresholds.
- 3.5 - 4.0 (B2, Upper-Intermediate)A common undergraduate and many graduate entry levels. Generally effective academic English; sufficient for most degree programmes that don't set the highest bar.
- 2.5 - 3.0 (B1, Intermediate)Accepted for foundation, pathway, and pre-sessional English programmes. Partial command of academic English; usually needs improvement before full degree study.

The real TOEFL iBT
TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language, internet-based test) measures your ability to use English in academic and everyday settings. It is accepted by more than 13,000 universities and institutions across 160+ countries. In the format effective January 21, 2026, Reading and Listening each use a fixed Module 1 followed by an easier or harder Module 2; Writing and Speaking are linear. The test takes about 83-89 minutes. Scores are reported as four section scores plus an overall on a 1-6 scale in half-point increments, with a comparable 0-120 score during the transition period.
What the real TOEFL iBT covers
All four TOEFL iBT skills in the format effective January 21, 2026: (1) Reading - Complete the Words, Read in Daily Life, and Read an Academic Passage. (2) Listening - Listen and Choose a Response, Listen to a Conversation, Listen to an Announcement, and Listen to an Academic Talk. (3) Speaking - seven Listen and Repeat items plus four Take an Interview questions, with no preparation time. (4) Writing - ten Build a Sentence items, one Write an Email task, and one Write for an Academic Discussion task.
How people prepare for it
- 1Find your baseline. Do one timed Reading and one timed Listening set to see where you stand, and note your speed - TOEFL rewards efficient reading and focused listening, and the adaptive Module 2 means a strong Module 1 unlocks a higher score ceiling.
- 2Train Listening with note-taking. You hear each lecture/conversation once, so practise jotting structure (main point, examples, shifts in attitude) as you listen. Prioritise the academic lecture and conversation tasks - they carry the most question weight.
- 3Build academic Reading skill, not just speed. Practise locating main ideas, distinguishing detail from inference, and the vocabulary-in-context questions. Read short academic texts daily to get comfortable with the register.
- 4Rehearse Speaking out loud, on a timer, into a mic. Practise repeating short sentences accurately and answering interview questions spontaneously with clear pronunciation, relevant detail, and coherent organisation.
How this mirrors the real format
- The paper structure is the real format: 4 sections in exam order, 32 questions in total.
- Timing is server-controlled for the full 1 hr 33 min -- closing the tab does not pause the clock, exactly like our paid mock series.
- Marking follows the published paper: the per-section marks shown in the paper map are the marks the scorer applies.
- Sections run strictly in order and a completed section cannot be reopened.
- Break windows fall where the paper schedules them, and each one is shown in the paper map.
"Real format" means the paper shape, timing, marking and navigation above - not the official exam software, its visual identity, or any affiliation with the exam body.
What differs or is limited
- This free mock covers every section of the real exam format. Speaking is trimmed to at most 2 prompts and writing to 1 task; the paid mock includes the full task set. AI-scored sections are estimates and are provided as-is. Audio you record is deleted within 30 days.
One attempt, explicitly
Adding this mock to your account is free and reversible - you can change the exam any time before you begin. Only the confirmed Begin action uses your one attempt. No retake, no reset, no card.
