About this test
What to expect
This test follows the TOEFL iBT 2026 adaptive Listening format: a first module, then a second module matched to how you did on the first. You'll hear short questions, conversations, announcements and academic talks, each played only once, and answer multiple-choice questions after each one. Take notes as you listen. There's no penalty for a wrong or blank answer, so answer every question you can.
