Understand the Test. Align with ETS Scoring. Achieve Your Target TOEFL Band.
The TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language – Internet-Based Test) is a globally accepted English proficiency test used primarily for university admission. It evaluates a student’s ability to use English in real academic settings, such as lectures, discussions, presentations, and academic writing.
ETS has recently updated TOEFL scoring, making it easier to understand and align with international standards. At Education Park, our TOEFL preparation is fully aligned with this latest format and scoring logic, delivered through expert instruction, a modern computer lab, digital boards, and rich academic materials.
What Is TOEFL iBT?
TOEFL iBT measures academic English proficiency, not everyday conversation.
It evaluates four skills:
- Reading
- Listening
- Speaking
- Writing
The test is fully computer-based and focuses on how well students can perform in a university classroom environment.
Latest TOEFL iBT Test Format (Updated)
The TOEFL iBT is now shorter and more efficient, with no compromise in assessment quality.

Speaking Test Structure

2–4. Integrated speaking (Reading + Listening + Speaking)
How ETS Scores Speaking
Speaking responses are evaluated using:
- AI scoring
- Certified human raters
They assess:
- Delivery (clarity, pace, pronunciation)
- Language use (grammar & vocabulary)
- Topic development (idea organisation)
Accent does not reduce marks
Memorised answers are penalised
Education Park trains students to structure ideas quickly and speak naturally under time pressure.
Writing Tasks
- Integrated Writing
- Read → Listen → Write (compare & summarise)
- Academic Discussion Writing
- Respond logically and academically to a discussion prompt
ETS Writing Evaluation Criteria
- Clarity of ideas
- Organisation & coherence
- Academic vocabulary usage
- Grammar accuracy (meaning matters more than complexity)
We correct writing strictly using official ETS rubrics, not generic comments.
TOEFL Scores Are Now Reported on a 1–6 Scale
On January 21, 2026, ETS introduced a new TOEFL iBT score scale from 1 to 6, aligned with the CEFR framework, while still showing the traditional 0–120 score during a transition period.
How the New TOEFL Score Works
- Each skill (Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing) is scored on 1–6
- Overall score = average of all four skills
- Scores are rounded to the nearest 0.5
