2. What Is New about the TOEFL® iBT?

(1) The TOEFL® iBT is delivered through the Internet in secure test centers around the world at the same time.

(2) It tests all four language skills and is taken in the order of Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing, with a 10-minute break in the middle.

(3) The test is 3 hours long, and all of the four test sections will be completed in one day.

(4) Note taking is allowed throughout the entire test, including the Reading section. At the end of the test, all notes are collected and destroyed at the test center.

(5) In the Listening section, one lecture may be spoken with a British or Australian accent.

(6) There are integrated tasks requiring test takers to combine more than one language skill in the Speaking and Writing sections.

(7) In the Speaking section, test takers wear headphones and speak into a microphone when they respond. The responses are recorded and transmitted to ETS’s Online Scoring Network.

(8) In the Writing section, test takers must type their responses. Handwriting is not possible.

(9) Official scores are reported both online and by mail. All score reports sent after August 1, 2019 automatically include MyBest?? scores along with the traditional scores from your selected test date. This new feature combines your best scores for each section from all of your valid scores in the last two years to give you a way to show your best overall test performance.
