TOEFL IBT has been a trusted measure of academic English for more than 60 years.

But assessments are changing and classrooms are changing, so we're evolving, too.

Starting in January 2026, we're updating TOEFL IBT to improve the testing experience and better reflect how you use English in today's classrooms.

Here's what's changing and why it matters to you.

To start, our reading and listening sections will adapt to your proficiency level, creating a more personalized experience while giving you a fair chance to reach your full potential.

The test also features a broader mix of question types that reflect what you'll do in real classrooms, not just listening to lectures and reading textbooks, but

also collaborating with peers from around the world.

To simplify score interpretation, we're introducing a more intuitive score scale that aligns with your prior English learning and assessment journeys.

This scale will also stay consistent across sections.

Lastly, we're modernizing the entire test experience.

From booking your test in just a few steps to getting your results in three days, TOEFL now offers a smoother journey from booking to results.

And while we've modernized the exam, more than 13,000 institutions continue to accept scores from TOEFL, the world's English test.

We're proud to offer a globally trusted test that gives every student a chance to succeed, no matter where you live or how you learn English.

Join the tens of millions of students who've relied on TOEFL to follow their dreams.
