The new TOEFL^® is here

The TOEFL iBT has a brand-new format as of January 21, 2026, and Magoosh is ready to help you prepare.

With Magoosh, you get 100% official TOEFL^® questions created by and licensed from ETS, the test maker. Whether you're just starting out or adjusting your study plan, you'll get the authentic practice you need to score your best.

What's new on the TOEFL?

Shorter test, same purpose. The new TOEFL takes about 1.5 hours (down from 2 hours) and uses a 1-6 band score aligned with international language standards (CEFR). You'll also receive a familiar 0-120 score for comparison.

Adaptive Reading and Listening. These sections adapt based on how you perform on each section, not each question. Do well on one section, and the next one gets harder. This helps the test measure your true ability faster.

More real-world content. Expect a mix of academic and everyday scenarios: emails, discussion forums, casual conversations, and simulated interviews alongside traditional lectures and passages.

New question styles. Many items are shorter, more interactive, and even game-like, such as filling in missing letters in a sentence.
