Are there new question types I should practice for TOEFL 2026?

Raushan Kumar

Yes. You must practice "Complete the Words" (filling missing letters) and "Build a Sentence" (unscrambling words). Also, the Speaking section now has "Listen and Repeat" and "Take an Interview" tasks with no preparation time, replacing the old 2025 independent tasks.

Will my old 0–120 TOEFL score still be valid in 2026?

Raushan Kumar

Yes! Scores stay valid for 2 years. For a transition period (2026–2028), your score report will show both the new 1.0–6.0 band and a comparable 0–120 score. This helps universities compare your results fairly during the switch.

What does "Adaptive Testing" mean in the TOEFL 2026?

Raushan Kumar

In TOEFL 2026, the computer monitors your answers in Module 1. If you do well, Module 2 becomes harder to help you get a higher band score. This multistage adaptive system replaces the fixed-length sections used in 2025.

How much shorter is the TOEFL 2026 exam compared to 2025?

Raushan Kumar

TOEFL 2025 exam duration was about 2 hours. In the 2026 update the total time is cut to around 90 minutes. This is because the Reading and Listening sections are now adaptive, making the test faster and more personalized.

When exactly will the TOEFL change to the new format?

Raushan Kumar

The TOEFL iBT exam officially shifts to the new pattern on January 21, 2026. Any test you take before this date uses the 2025 format while all tests on or after this date use the 2026 update.
