FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

There are 10 complete mock tests. Test 1 and its four section practices are free to start without an account. The other 9 tests require a paid plan. Sprint, Monthly and Prep Pass each unlock all 10 tests and their section practices. Paid tests are previewable.

How is speaking scored?

Listen and Repeat receives word and pronunciation feedback. Interview responses are evaluated for relevance, fluency, pronunciation and language use. Listen and Repeat uses live sentence scoring. Interview recordings upload immediately and score in the background after section submission; interviews may take 30–60 seconds. Failed scores can be retried without credits. Read our speaking scoring rules.

How close is it to the real test?

These original practice questions follow the 2026 task types and timed section structure. Reading and Listening use a practice routing rule for a second module. This is an independent simulation, not an official ETS test or its calibrated adaptive algorithm.

What is the new 1–6 band?

The report shows estimated section and overall bands on a 1–6 scale in half-band steps, alongside a 0–30 section and 0–120 total comparison. These estimates cannot replace an official TOEFL score.

How long should I allow?

Set aside about two hours for the full practice, including setup, instructions and transitions. Section timers follow the configured test. You can also choose one section for a shorter session.

Do I need to sign up for Test 1?

No sign-up is required to start Test 1 or view its score summary. A verified account unlocks detailed feedback and lets you keep a practice history.

What equipment do I need?

Use a current browser with speakers or headphones and a microphone. Run the system check before starting. Recordings are uploaded for scoring; use the same browser to resume an anonymous attempt.

When will I see my scores?

Reading, Listening and sentence-building are checked when you request section scoring. Writing is evaluated by AI. Listen and Repeat scores return after each recording. Interview scores arrive asynchronously, and the report refreshes until submitted responses finish. The overall band appears after all four sections are scored.
