Hello teacher, about the discussion board question, do we have to read what the teacher and the two other students within the 10 min timings or the reading of the transcript will be timed separately, or is it something we have to listen to ?
Hi Michael and thank you for the updates, as always. I have two questions for you. well, I've booked the tst for August 5th and I suppose I'm of the first group taking the tst in the new format. Is it so freaking to be a pioneer? Secondly, I was wondering about the scoring, especially for the reading section. I mean with fewer questions, each one is gonna have higher scores, right? Is this a big deal? Isn't it unfavorable?
I think being scared of being a pioneer is reasonable. You could take advantage of the free rescheduling if you are worried. That said, the test is very similar. Just shorter. Yes, I think that each reading question will be more valuable on the new test. You must avoid mistakes.
Hi Michael, I couldn't find any information about the no break time. Do you have a link that confirms the removal of break time? Please share the link if you have it. Thank you for your help.
Check page 29 of the bulletin: www.ets.org/pdfs/toefl/toefl-ibt-bulletin.pdf Or listen to my recent interview with a test taker here in the youtube channel. :)
Hi Michael, is the academic writing question will be 10 minutes for reading the discussion and writing the answer, or would the 10 minutes be only for answering?
Hi Michael, Thank you for the update. I have a question about the reading and listening sections Do you know about the number of questions from each type? For example in READING, how many questions from the vocabulary, detail, insert, reference etc from each passage In LISTENING, a number of questions from the gist, mainly about, inference, etc. form each lecture and conversation. THANKS
Hello Michael ! I am Maira Ruth I had taken toefl on 24 june at test center, my score had canceled by me at the end of the test. can you please guide me how to reinstate my score.
You should be able to pay to have the score reinstated by logging into your TOEFL account. I honestly don't know which link to click on since I haven't ever done it myself. But apparently the link should be pretty visible.
Do you think that the change of writing task 2 will be more like verbal style than academic writing style? Personally, I don't want writing section will be like this :(((
I want to know whether the "Fill in the table" is still part of new Toefl 2023 reading section? The last question of Toefl reading is either "Prose Summary Question" or "Fill in the table Question". As per the recent samples shared by ETS, there is always a prose summary question not fill in the table (the last question am talking about). Please reply or share any relevant info in your video / shorts so that we know whether to spend time on "Fill in table" or not because it is more time consuming and lengthy as compared to prose summary question. Thanks
Hi Professor! I haven’t taken the TOEFL iBT for foreign pharmacist yet but I will start my review soon. May I know what are the 4 questions that were asked in the TOEFL Speaking Section and the Writing Section which is Integrated Essay that came out in the TOEFL exam? Please reply. Thank you.
One question here! Is the reading time for the "academic discussion" task (the teacher's question & two students' opinions) included in the 10-minute response? Or will test takers be given some extra time to read the material?
thank u so much for the updates! Do you think ETS will make changes to the GRE general test as well? Because gre also takes a long time to finish and its last reform was more than 10 years ago. Do you have any information on this?
Yes, I believe they will change the GRE eventually. Remember that the GMAT will be shortened pretty soon. Of course, this is just my guess. I could be wrong.
Hello Michael, my future University told me just today that I have to take the TOEFL exam, I spent two years in the US and I graduated from college so do you think the preparation will be hard for me? Also, can I take the test during the summer before the start of the academic year in September or there is a deadline to take it before the academic year starts? Thank you
Yes. It will be hard. The test is hard for everyone. Study as much as possible. I don't know the deadline of your school. Only they can answer that question. :)
Sir, I enrolled on 9th July for the TOEFL iBT test on Sep 6, 2023. In that case, should I need to prepare for the new or old versions? Would be happy to get your response.
Hi My TOEFL test is on May 6. I want to reschedule it and postpone it for two weeks. Am I required to pay for the scheduling fee, or is it free now? I mean the old version, not the new type. Thanks
The price could be ''shorter'' as well
Ha ha.
Thank you so much. I'm deeply grateful.
Wonderful!
Thanks for the updates Michael!
My pleasure!
Thank you for letting us know🙏🏻
Thank you, Michael, for letting us know ❤
My pleasure!
Thanks again for your updates, I do appreciate them . Regards from Argentina
My pleasure! Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for the clear info. I already make the test but I hope the “best score” still possible with this new change 😅
I am 99% sure that the My Best Score will remain. I'll make sure to ask that if I have the chance!
@@Toeflresources thanks for you answer, let me know if you have news about this. Thanks ☺️🙌🏻
I have received confirmation that My Best Scores will remain in the test. Good news for you!
@@Toeflresources Omg! Thanks you ☺️
Thank you for being always helpful 😊
My pleasure, as always!
Thank you teacher ❤ I'm Brazilian and I study a lot with your tips. 😊
I am happy to have helped!
Hi, Claudia! sou brasileira tbm, vc vai fazer o teste esse ano?
@@yasminhaddad6676 pretendo. Meu objetivo é fazer o PhD fora, então estou me dedicando em melhorar o inglês, focando na prova do Toefl 😁
Thank you so much
My pleasure!
You were right! ☘️
Sometimes I am right!
Thank you for preparing this! Do you know if the free practice set with AI scoring is already available?
Yeah! It is now part of "TOEFL TestReady." Find it in your ETS account.
Hello teacher, about the discussion board question, do we have to read what the teacher and the two other students within the 10 min timings or the reading of the transcript will be timed separately, or is it something we have to listen to ?
Ten minutes to read everything and write.

Or listen to my recent interview with a test taker here in the youtube channel. :)
I am a little confused. What will be the scores of each section? The total score is 120 total.
Same as before 30 points each section.
Hi Michael, is the academic writing question will be 10 minutes for reading the discussion and writing the answer, or would the 10 minutes be only for answering?
10 minutes for reading and writing, I think.
Hi Michael, Thank you for the update.
I have a question about the reading and listening sections
Do you know about the number of questions from each type?
For example in READING, how many questions from the vocabulary, detail, insert, reference etc from each passage
In LISTENING, a number of questions from the gist, mainly about, inference, etc. form each lecture and conversation.
THANKS
There are no guarantees. The number differs from test to test.
Thank you very much for the information.
My pleasure! When will you take the test?
For the reading section its now shorter, but is it going to be three articles ?
Two articles!
Thanks a lot. I wanted to ask about overall score and price? Will there be any changes?
The score range will not change. That much is certain. I don't think the price will change, but that's just my guess.

Hi Michael, do you think that for the integrated writing question that the reading section will still always contrast the listening section?
I think so.
What are unscored questions in the listening part?
Well, after July 26 there will be NO unscored questions. But before then some of the questions don't count. You don't know which those are.
Hello, Where can we find free AI practice tool mentioned in the video?
It has not been released yet. But I will let you know when it is!
@@Toeflresources HI! (; I happen to have the same question, do you have any idea if its available now? I really need to find practice tests
Fast as always!
I try!
Do you think that the change of writing task 2 will be more like verbal style than academic writing style? Personally, I don't want writing section will be like this :(((
No. I think you should still use slightly formal language. Don't be too casual when you write your response.
Hi Michael, Can we expect that the price be reduced ? Thank you!
No. ETS has said that the price will NOT be reduced.
How they will evaluate 30 marks with 20 questions in the reading section.
Mathematically. I guess each question will be worth 1.5 points (or whatever).
I want to know whether the "Fill in the table" is still part of new Toefl 2023 reading section? The last question of Toefl reading is either "Prose Summary Question" or "Fill in the table Question".

The "fill in a table" question disappeared more than five years ago. It could appear, but I doubt it.
@@Toeflresources thank you for your quick response
My pleasure! When will you take the test?
@@Toeflresourcesprobably next month
Let me know how it goes!

Every test is different!

Ten minutes to read AND write.

Yes, I believe they will change the GRE eventually. Remember that the GMAT will be shortened pretty soon. Of course, this is just my guess. I could be wrong.
how many words will be needed for the new writing task?
About 100.
Does this apply to the home edition?
Yes.
Hi Michael I have schedule my test for July 26th, so I will be doing the new test?
Yes.

Yes. It will be hard. The test is hard for everyone. Study as much as possible.
I don't know the deadline of your school. Only they can answer that question. :)
I'm going to have my toefl on the 26th of July, that means I'm going to have the new one right ?
Yes, I think so. That's what ETS says anyway.
Hello. What do you mean by unscored questions? I'm hoping for a reply. Thank you.
I mean questions on the test that don't count. Right now, you get either some reading questions or listening questions that don't count.
is it gonna be harder or easier?
Probably about the same.
Sir, I enrolled on 9th July for the TOEFL iBT test on Sep 6, 2023. In that case, should I need to prepare for the new or old versions? Would be happy to get your response.
For the new one. All tests after July 26 will be the new version.
@@Toeflresources Thank you sir 😊
Can you suggest me whether I should take the old format or new format ?
I guess that depends entirely on your deadlines.
Only the new format is available!
Hi
My TOEFL test is on May 6. I want to reschedule it and postpone it for two weeks. Am I required to pay for the scheduling fee, or is it free now? I mean the old version, not the new type.
Thanks
You can reschedule for free until April 30.
@@Toeflresources ❤
What do you mean by unscored?
Questions that don't affect your actual TOEFL score.
Hi, how is it with toefl reading scoring?
The same as before, I guess. Just remember that each individual question will have more value.
It is gonna be a lot easier.
Maybe. But the content is almost the same. A shorter test is more pleasant, but not necessarily easier.
thanksssss Godddddddd
Glad you like the news!
What does AI mean?
Artificial Intelligence. The speaking and writing sections are partially scored by software.
@@Toeflresourcesin real exam,will be Toefl score given by AI or humans??
