Are you good at English spelling, but find speaking in English challenging?

Can you easily do well on the essay, but need to improve your reading comprehension skills? Are you a beginner asking yourself, “What is the TOEFL test, anyway?” A TOEFL mock-test answers these questions by showing your strengths and weaknesses, and allowing you to turn those weaknesses into strengths!

When should I take a practice test? That depends on how long you have until your TOEFL test date. Ask yourself these questions: Are you preparing for a TOEFL that’s away or away?

Have you already taken a test or are you just starting to study? If you have a long time to study, then you can plan to fit in a few extra practice tests along the way. However, if you have at least one month to study for your TOEFL, we recommend taking: • 1 practice test at the beginning of your prep to assess your baseline skill level • 1-2 practice tests during your TOEFL prep to measure your progress • 1 practice test at the end of your TOEFL prep to assess your current score and measure it against your goal score After your final practice test, take some time to review and refine the skills that need last-minute help.

Skip down to our review of a certain TOEFL sample test by clicking a link from the navigation bar below, or continue scrolling down to read our reviews of all of them. • • • • ETS’s Interactive TOEFL Sample Test The is a great resource for free TOEFL test practiceif you use Windows, that is.

If you have a Mac, this program won’t work for you as it’s currently Windows-only. The software is created to simulate to a real TOEFL, and is almost a full test, including: • Three Reading tasks (equal to one whole reading section) • Two Listening tasks (equal to ⅓ of a section) • Three Speaking tasks (½ of a section) • Two Writing tasks (one whole section) In addition to the content listed above, there are also sample responses for the speaking and writing questions—great additional help. TOEFL iBT Test Questions With no audio recordings, no software, and no answer explanations, the is the least helpful set of TOEFL prep questions.

And—since it’s just a PDF—you won’t get the same experience as if you were to use prep software or even an app. Driver Bluetooth Pour Hp Pavilion Dv7. Included in iBT Test Questions, you’ll find you’ll find: • One Reading task (⅓ of a section) • Three Listening tasks (½ of a section) • Six Speaking tasks (one whole section) • Two Writing tasks (one whole section) That gives you one of every type of question that’s on the TOEFL, although it’s not a very test-like experience.

If you want to mimic a real practice test for free, try the Magoosh TOEFL sample test listed above instead. ETS Quick Prep: The Big, Free Official TOEFL Sample Test There are that ETS calls “.” But this time, there’s audio! Well, there is audio for two of the PDFs. Each of the four PDFs is almost perfectly a half of a test: • One Reading task (⅓) • Three Listening tasks (½) • Three Speaking tasks (½) • One Writing task (½) • BONUS: Magoosh has created additional unofficial audio for and.

This audio covers all of the lectures in the first two PDFs. If you do and, which both have audio, you almost do a full practice test, minus one Reading task. You can add in a Reading task from either or and get a full-length test. But there is still one big difference between Quick Prep and a real TOEFL practice test: there is no software to show you the real look and feel of the test. That means you don’t have a timer for any of the TOEFL section. And in Listening, you are also able to look at questions during a lecture (not possible on the real TOEFL).

Don’t get me wrong—Quick Prep is very useful. But with these questions, you simply don’t have the same experience and feeling that you’d have on a full TOEFL exam. So if you’re new to the TOEFL, don’t start with Quick Prep. Instead, start with a shorter practice test from the Interactive Sampler so that you can get a feel for the software and do some light warmup practice. Then, if you want to try a full, four-hour test, you can combine the Quick Prep material to create one.

(Again, keep in mind the differences between Quick Prep and real TOEFL software, of course!) The Official TOEFL Online Course ETS sponsors a free official online TOEFL prep class that comes with an almost complete set of practice TOEFL questions. The course,, is hosted on the EdX website. There are a few disadvantages to the test materials in this course.

The most obvious downside is that you have to register for the class, wait for the class’s start date, and follow a course schedule. After the class starts, the practice materials aren’t released all at once. You get your Reading section in week 2, Listening in week 3, speaking in week 4, and Writing in week 5. The class is offered several times a year, but the timing may or may not fit with your TOEFL prep. You also don’t get any test-like software through the EdX program, although the course does include videos that give you a look at real TOEFL software.

Still, this is a very good official practice test in many ways. You get complete sections for Reading, Speaking and Listening. You do only get half of a TOEFL Listening section. But there is one of each of the three kinds of TOEFL Listening audio tracks (conversation, lecture, and class discussion). So you get a real feel for TOEFL Listening, even without the complete set of 6 tracks. Another advantage to this free, almost-full TOEFL test is that it’s taken from TOEFL Practice Online (TPO). Normally, TPO is quite expensive!

(See our entry on TPO later in this article.) Paid Practice Tests If you are able to spend a little money on TOEFL resources, then your first stop should be. After that, if you’re looking for more resources, we recommend trying the ones listed below: • • • The Official Guide to the TOEFL Although it may lack skill-building materials and the amount of practice materials it contains, ETS’s is the most accurate guidebook out there. After all, it’s written by the same company that makes the test! The book includes three full-length tests and a CD of test software, so you can take the tests authentically.

The first test is a little older, and isn’t a perfect representation of the current TOEFL iBT. Still, only small details are different; the first test is still extremely similar, and is good practice. The second and third tests are almost exactly the same as current iBT tests. Operating System Concepts 9th Edition Instructor Manual Textbooks.

The software is also very similar to what you will see on test day. Official TOEFL iBT Test (Volumes 1 & 2) The tests in the Official Guide aren’t the only ones available for cheap. There are five more full-length TOEFL tests in a two-volume set called. There is one small disadvantage to these tests: if you buy the 1st edition of, the exams are only on paper, with CD audio tracks; you don’t get computer software. Similar to Quick Prep, you can’t get a perfect practice test experience from this older edition of Official TOEFL iBT Tests. However, the 2nd edition of comes with a CD that’s very similar to the CD for the Official Guide.

It has the five practice tests from this book, all on the same software as the Official Guide. And again, that software is good, but not perfect. Volume 2 is pretty much the same as volume 1 (2nd ed.) in structure and design, but the questions are different. Since the questions in this second volume are newly released, they’re more similar in content to the current TOEFL itself. TOEFL Practice Online (TPO) Test Every year, ETS sells a new set of past TOEFL tests online. These tests are called. Each TPO test is basically a full-length TOEFL on your home computer (Windows only).

They’re the best practice tests you can buy, and they give you a score, unlike many of the options above. But there are very big downsides: • They’re $45 each. You can buy both volumes of Official TOEFL iBT Tests, getting TEN full tests instead of one for a similar price. • You can’t take them twice. After you finish a test, it’s done. • Despite the price, Speaking and Writing are only computer-graded. The Speaking grader is terrible, and the scoring software for Writing could be far better.

You cannot trust its score. I don’t recommend taking a TPO unless all of these are true of you, personally: • You have never taken the real TOEFL before (with official scores) or a TPO before. • You have enough money that the price is comfortable for you.

• You become very stressed during tests like the TOEFL, and it usually hurts your score. In other words, can give you practice with test anxiety, because it’s very similar to the real test. But for the most part, they’re not worthwhile because the tests in ETS books are better priced. We hope that you find all of these TOEFL resources helpful!
