Reading practice for TOEFL

TOEFL Reading passages simulate introductory university-level texts and ask multiple-choice questions on detail, vocabulary-in-context, and inference — a format that's genuinely close to these exercises, even though our passages are current-events articles rather than academic texts.

Grammar accuracy for TOEFL

TOEFL's Writing tasks are scored partly on grammatical range and control. These exercises cover the structures that come up constantly in academic writing: verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, gerunds/infinitives, noun clauses, auxiliary verbs, and countable/uncountable nouns.

Listening practice for TOEFL

TOEFL Listening is built around academic lectures and campus conversations — longer and more formal than our movie-clip exercises. Use these for general listening stamina and vocabulary exposure, not as a direct simulation of lecture-style listening.

A note on TOEFL format As of the January 2026 redesign, TOEFL Reading and Listening are shorter and adaptive (question difficulty adjusts to your performance), and scores are now reported on both the familiar 0-120 scale and a new 1-6 CEFR-aligned band. Our reading exercises use current-events articles rather than the academic texts TOEFL uses, but the multiple-choice format and detail/inference skills transfer well. Our listening exercises are conversational movie clips rather than academic lectures, so they're best treated as general listening practice. Always try at least one official TOEFL practice test from ETS before exam day.
