Get ready for the new 2026 TOEFL

The TOEFL iBT changed in January 2026: shorter, adaptive, with new tasks and a new score scale. We're building a TOEFL pack like our TOEIC one. Try the free mini-test now and be the first to know when it opens.

What changed in January 2026

Based on the official ETS test specifications for 2026, which ETS says may still get minor revisions.

Adaptive Reading and Listening

Each section starts with a first set of questions. How you do decides whether the second part is easier or harder.

New task types

Shorter tasks closer to real student life: completing words, reading notices, building sentences, repeating what you hear, a short interview.

About 1 h 30

ETS gives 1 h 23 min to 1 h 29 min for the whole test.

Scores from 1 to 6

Each section and the total get a score from 1 to 6, in half points. A 5 in a section means C1. Score reports also show the familiar 0–120 for about two years.
