About the TOEFLiBT Test :

Overview

The new TOEFL iBT test consists of four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. All sections are taken on the same day, and the entire test is approximately four hours long. For a brief comparison of the current TOEFL test and the new iBT, visit www.ets.org/toefl/nextgen and download TOEFL iBT At A Glance.

Format

The next generation TOEFL test is an Internet-based test (iBT) that will be delivered in secure testing centers.
Instructions for answering questions are given within each section; there is no computer tutorial.
TOEFL iBT is not computer adaptive. Each test taker receives the same range of questions.
Test takers can take notes throughout the entire test. At the end of testing, all notes are collected and destroyed at the test center.
For the Speaking section, test takers speak into a microphone, and their responses are digitally recorded and sent to the ETS Online Scoring Network.
For the Writing section, test takers must type their responses, and their responses are sent to the ETS Online Scoring Network.
Human raters, trained and certified by ETS, rate the Speaking and Writing responses.

The chart below shows the range of questions and the timing for each section. The time limit for each section varies according to the number of questions.
