TOEFL
Standardized tests are often a key requirement for admission to universities abroad. With expert guidance, a clear plan, and tailored preparation, we help you approach the exam with confidence and a defined goal.
About the exam
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is one of the most widely recognized English language tests in the world. It assesses four core skills: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing, and is commonly required for admission to universities abroad as well as international academic programs.
The test can be taken at a test center (Internet-Based Test) or from home (Home Edition), depending on whether the institution accepts the online version.
TOEFL iBT has undergone its most significant update in the past 20 years. The new test takes approximately 70–90 minutes (previously over two hours) and retains the same four sections in a shorter, more focused format.
Duration: 22 minutes
Tasks:
~20 questions (2 passages)
Adaptive format: the second set adjusts in difficulty based on performance
Duration: 24 minutes
Tasks:
~18 questions (2 sections)
Adaptive format: focused on lectures and campus conversations
Duration: 11 minutes
Tasks:
4 tasks
Includes new formats such as Listen and Repeat and simulated interviews
Duration: 23 minutes
Tasks:
2 tasks
Includes shorter tasks such as Build a Sentence and Academic Discussion
The total test duration is approximately 80–90 minutes, with no breaks between sections. The format is designed to more accurately assess real-world communication skills required in an academic environment.
New Scoring Scale: 1–6 (CEFR)
Instead of the previous 0–120 scale, TOEFL will be scored on a 1–6 scale (in 0.5 increments), aligned with the international CEFR framework (A1–C2).
Starting in 2026, candidates will receive:
This new system allows for clearer interpretation of results, easier comparison with other international tests, and a more intuitive understanding of language proficiency.
