If your dream is to study at a university in the United States, Canada, or another top global institution, the TOEFL iBT is your golden ticket. The Test of English as a Foreign Language is renowned for its academic focus, evaluating how well you can combine your English skills to perform tasks you’ll encounter in a university classroom.
The TOEFL isn’t just a test; it’s a simulation of academic life. Its unique “integrated tasks” can be challenging, but with the right training from Fluent Edge Lab, you can master them and achieve a top score.
Breaking Down the TOEFL iBT Test Format
The TOEFL iBT (Internet-Based Test) is designed to assess your English skills in an academic setting across four sections.
📖 Reading (54-72 minutes): Read 3-4 academic passages and answer questions. We’ll teach you how to understand complex vocabulary, identify main ideas, and navigate the specific question formats.
🎧 Listening (41-57 minutes): Listen to lectures and campus conversations, then answer questions. Our practice focuses on note-taking skills and understanding the speaker’s tone and purpose.
🗣️ Speaking (17 minutes): This is where it gets unique. You’ll answer four questions. One is an “Independent Task” about your own ideas. The other three are “Integrated Tasks” where you must read a passage or listen to a recording before speaking. We provide extensive practice to perfect your structure and delivery.
✍️ Writing (50 minutes): This section also includes an “Integrated Task” where you read a passage, listen to a lecture, and write a summary. The second task is an “Independent Essay” on a given topic. Our coaches provide crucial feedback on developing a strong, coherent argument.
