TOEFL iBT writing and speaking practice

These tasks follow the TOEFL iBT format introduced in January 2026, with scores from 1 to 6. When you finish a task you get an estimated score, every place to improve marked in your response, and your answer rewritten at Level 5 and Level 6. Your first writing task is free.

We cover the three Writing tasks and Take an Interview. Reading, Listening and the Listen and Repeat speaking task are not covered, so a score here is an estimate for one task, not a section score.

TOEFL Build a Sentence

Put the words in order to make correct sentences, against the clock. Your score from 1 to 6 comes from how many you get right, and each sentence you miss is shown with a correct order. Build a Sentence needs a pass.

TOEFL Write an Email

Write an email for the situation described, on a 7-minute clock. Your email is scored from 1 to 6 on task fulfillment, organization and development, and language use.

TOEFL Write for an Academic Discussion

Add your own post to an online class discussion, after a professor's question and two students' replies, on a 10-minute clock. Your post is scored from 1 to 6 on task fulfillment, organization and development, and language use.

TOEFL Take an Interview

A simulated interview: a short series of questions that you answer out loud in your browser. You are scored from 1 to 6 on delivery, language use and topic development, and your report shows your pace, pauses and filler words. Take an Interview needs a pass.

Common questions

Are the scores official?
No. Scores are AI estimates against the published criteria, to guide your practice. Only IELTS and ETS issue official results, and an examiner may award a different score.
Which TOEFL iBT format do you use?
The format introduced in January 2026. You can practice Build a Sentence, Write an Email, Academic Discussion and Take an Interview, each scored from 1 to 6.
What can I try free?
One TOEFL iBT writing task with a free account: an email or an academic discussion post, with your overall score and every place to improve marked. Full rewrites, Build a Sentence, Take an Interview and further evaluations need a pass.
Can I practice with my own question?
Yes. Add an email or academic discussion question from a practice book you own. It runs on the exam clock, is scored like every task in the library, and only you can see it.
