How the Speaking section works

Getting the most from a practice set

Work in short, focused blocks on one task at a time rather than sampling everything at once. Each task rewards a different habit — naming a text’s purpose before reading the options, catching the first word of a spoken question, matching an auxiliary to its verb — and those habits form faster when you repeat them in a row.

Answer before you look. For listening, play each clip once, as the test does, and only open the transcript after you have chosen. For writing and speaking, start the timer before you read the model, then compare against the checklist line by line.

Spend as much time on misses as on new questions. Read why your option was wrong, not only why the key is right, and put the mistake into words: a detail mistaken for the main idea, a condition you skipped, a reply that only echoed a word. That label is what carries over to the next question.

These are practice questions, not a score predictor: a percentage on a practice set does not convert to a TOEFL band. To see how section bands combine into an overall score, use the TOEFL score calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Every question on these pages is free to use with no account, including the audio, the answer checking and the explanations.

They are written for the format introduced in January 2026, with the same twelve task types in the same four sections. They are original Test Ninjas questions, not official ETS items, and they are not calibrated to produce a band score.

The listening and speaking recordings use AI-generated voices. Each clip loads only when you press play, and every recording has a transcript you can open after answering.

Open responses are not scored automatically. You write or record your answer, then compare it with a model response and a checklist of what the task required.

Read a task guide first for the format, strategies and common mistakes, then use the matching practice page to apply them. Return to the explanations for any question you missed and name the mistake before moving on.
