TOEFL iBT Flashcards: 12 Task Types, Vocabulary & Strategy

Study the 12 current TOEFL iBT task types with 180 original cards on vocabulary, sentence patterns, task decisions, and reusable strategy cues.

O tomto balíčku

The TOEFL iBT changed worldwide on January 21, 2026. This independently written English deck gives you a compact active-recall layer for the current format: 180 cards across all 12 Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking task types.

Reviewed for the 2026 TOEFL iBT format.

What the cards ask you to retrieve

  • current task name → format and skill being measured
  • partial word or short original context → spelling, meaning, or word form
  • sentence cue → grammatical structure
  • original scenario or common miss pattern → the next useful decision
  • communicative purpose → a natural response, email, discussion, or speaking move
  • claim, detail, transition, or speaker cue → its role in comprehension

The sequence starts with a map of the 12 tasks, then follows the test order: Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. Within each task, basic recognition comes before strategy decisions and production cues. Every card has the root toefl-ibt tag and one section tag.

What's deliberately left out

This deck is not a full TOEFL course, test simulation, official preparation product, or promise of a score. It does not reproduce adaptive Reading or Listening, one-play audio, pronunciation assessment, spontaneous speaking, or complete timed writing. Return to current ETS materials for that performance practice.

The deck also excludes copied exam questions, passages, answer choices, scoring rubrics, mark schemes, and curriculum text. It does not mechanically add definition-to-word reverse cards, because isolated reverse recall is often ambiguous; production directions appear only when a specific context or sentence makes the answer useful and clear.

Scope was reviewed against the current ETS test content page and the TOEFL iBT 2026 Test Blueprint and Specifications. Check those official sources for current requirements and later changes.

Facts and official task names are not claimed as original. The CC0 dedication applies to the deck's independently written prompts, answers, examples, organization, metadata, and original generated cover to the extent the contributor can dedicate those elements.

This independent, unofficial deck is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by ETS. TOEFL® and TOEFL iBT® are trademarks of ETS. No official questions, mark schemes, scoring rubrics, curriculum passages, logos, or trade dress are copied.

    How the author organizes information to develop the passage, such as by comparison or cause and effect.

    Odpověď

    It asks why the author included a statement or section, not merely what that part says.

  58. Kartička 58

    Otázka

    Read an Academic Passage — how should you unpack a long sentence with complex grammar?

    Odpověď

    Find the main subject and verb first, then attach modifying phrases and clauses to the ideas they describe.

  59. Kartička 59

    Otázka

    Read an Academic Passage — how should you interpret figurative or idiomatic language?

    Odpověď

    Use the surrounding claim and tone to recover the intended meaning, rather than reading every word literally.

  60. Kartička 60

    Otázka

    Read an Academic Passage — how can a paragraph's first and last sentences help?

    Odpověď

    They often reveal the paragraph's main role, while the middle supplies explanation or evidence.

  61. Kartička 61

    Otázka

    Read an Academic Passage — what should decide between the passage and your outside knowledge?

    Odpověď

    The passage. Choose the answer supported by the text even when you know more about the topic.

  66. Kartička 66

    Otázka

    Understanding meaning, speaker intent, and common patterns of spoken English. The best response must make sense in the exchange.

  67. Kartička 67

    Otázka

  68. Kartička 68

    Otázka

    It signals the information needed. For example, when calls for a time, while why calls for a reason.

  69. Kartička 69

    Otázka

    Listen and Choose a Response — why can a response without yes or no fit a yes-or-no question?

    Odpověď

  70. Kartička 70

    Otázka

    Listen and Choose a Response — what makes a reply suitable for a request?

    Odpověď

    It accepts, refuses, or addresses the requested action naturally. A reply about the same topic can still miss the request.

    Otázka

    Listen and Choose a Response — what is the updated Listening section's published base length?

    Odpověď

    47 items in about 29 minutes. ETS notes that item count and time may vary as the section adapts.

  72. Kartička 72

    Otázka

    Listen and Choose a Response — how should you handle a negatively worded question?

    Odpověď

    Work out the speaker's actual concern before choosing. Do not select an option only because it repeats the negative word.

  73. Kartička 73

    Otázka

    Listen and Choose a Response — what is the repeated-word trap?

    Odpověď

    A distractor echoes vocabulary from the prompt but does not form a logical reply. Test the conversational link, not the word match.

  74. Kartička 74

    Otázka

    Listen and Choose a Response — what should you do with an unfamiliar expression?

    Odpověď

    Infer its function from tone and context. You often need the speaker's intent more than a word-for-word definition.

  75. Kartička 75

    Otázka

    Listen and Choose a Response — when two options are grammatical, what decides between them?

    Odpověď

    Conversational relevance. Choose the option a person would naturally say next in that situation.

  76. Kartička 76

    Otázka

    Listen and Choose a Response — what does multistage adaptive mean for the Listening section?

    Odpověď

  77. Kartička 77

    Otázka

    Listen to a Conversation — what setting is most typical?

    Odpověď

    A campus-life conversation between two people. The exchange may involve a problem, plan, service, class, or student activity.

  78. Kartička 78

    Otázka

    Odpověď

    Main ideas, key details, speaker intent, and implied meaning. Listen for both what is said and why it is said.

  79. Kartička 79

    Otázka

    Listen to a Conversation — how can you capture the main idea in one line?

    Odpověď

    Write the speakers' shared purpose or central problem. A topic label alone is usually too broad.

  80. Kartička 80

    Otázka

    Listen to a Conversation — what should you track about each speaker?

    Odpověď

    Each speaker's role and goal. Knowing who needs information, approval, or action makes the exchange easier to follow.

  81. Kartička 81

    Otázka

    Listen to a Conversation — what compact note pattern fits a problem-solving exchange?

    Odpověď

    Problem → options → decision. Add the reason for the final choice if the speakers give one.

  82. Kartička 82

    Otázka

    Listen to a Conversation — which details are most worth writing down?

    Odpověď

    Details that change the plan or explain a choice. Dates, requirements, obstacles, and decisions usually matter more than examples or greetings.

  83. Kartička 83

    Otázka

    Listen to a Conversation — how can tone reveal speaker intent?

    Odpověď

    Tone can show doubt, relief, hesitation, politeness, or disagreement. Combine it with the speaker's words before inferring intent.

  84. Kartička 84

    Otázka

    Listen to a Conversation — what supports a sound inference?

    Odpověď

    Two or more clues from the exchange. Choose what follows from the speakers' words and situation, not what is merely possible.

  85. Kartička 85

    Otázka

    Listen to a Conversation — why should you expect paraphrases in the options?

    Odpověď

    Correct answers often restate the audio with different words. Match the idea rather than waiting for an exact phrase.

  86. Kartička 86

    Otázka

    Listen to a Conversation — how can a two-column note layout help?

    Odpověď

    Give each speaker a column. This keeps requests, objections, and decisions attached to the right person.

  87. Kartička 87

    Otázka

    Listen to a Conversation — how do you predict a likely next action?

    Odpověď

    Use the final decision plus any stated condition. The next action should follow directly from where the speakers leave the situation.

  88. Kartička 88

    Otázka

    Listen to a Conversation — why can one memorable sentence be misleading?

    Odpověď

    A single sentence may describe an option that the speakers later reject. Follow the whole exchange before choosing the outcome.

  89. Kartička 89

    Otázka

    Listen to an Announcement — where does this task usually take place?

    Odpověď

    In an academic or campus setting. Expect a focused message about information students or staff need to act on.

  90. Kartička 90

    Otázka

    Listen to an Announcement — which abilities does the task measure?

    Odpověď

    Understanding purpose, key information, implied meaning, and likely next actions. The message often combines facts with instructions.

  91. Kartička 91

    Otázka

    Listen to an Announcement — what should your first note capture?

    Odpověď

    The announcement's purpose. Write the reason for the message before collecting its supporting logistics.

  92. Kartička 92

    Otázka

    Listen to an Announcement — which four logistics labels keep notes organized?

    Odpověď

    Who, what, when, and where. Add a required action when the message asks listeners to do something.

  93. Kartička 93

    Otázka

    Listen to an Announcement — which words often signal a change to an earlier plan?

    Odpověď

    Words such as instead, now, rescheduled, and rather than. Put the updated information in your notes, not just the original plan.

  94. Kartička 94

    Otázka

    Listen to an Announcement — how should you record a reason and its result?

    Odpověď

    Link them as cause → consequence. This prevents you from confusing why the change happened with what listeners must do.

  95. Kartička 95

    Otázka

    Listen to an Announcement — how do you identify the likely next action?

    Odpověď

    Look for instructions, deadlines, and eligibility conditions. The expected action must fit all three when they are stated.

  96. Kartička 96

    Otázka

    Listen to an Announcement — what makes an implied conclusion safe?

    Odpověď

    It follows from explicit facts in the message. Do not add campus rules or procedures that the speaker never mentions.

  97. Kartička 97

    Otázka

    Listen to an Announcement — how should you handle numbers, dates, and room names?

    Odpověď

    Write them in short form as soon as you hear them. Exact logistical details are harder to reconstruct from memory than the main purpose.

  98. Kartička 98

    Otázka

    Listen to an Announcement — what evidence should control your answer?

    Odpověď

    The speaker's actual message. Familiar campus routines may sound plausible, but they are not evidence unless the audio supports them.

  99. Kartička 99

    Otázka

    Listen to an Academic Talk — what kind of audio do you hear?

    Odpověď

    A short academic talk by a professor or expert. It is focused rather than a long lecture set.

  100. Kartička 100

    Otázka

    Listen to an Academic Talk — do you need specialist knowledge of the subject?

    Odpověď

    No. ETS uses varied academic fields, but the information needed to answer comes from the talk itself.

  101. Kartička 101

    Otázka

    Listen to an Academic Talk — which kinds of understanding does ETS target?

    Odpověď

    Main ideas, supporting details, organization, inferences, and sometimes uncommon or idiomatic vocabulary.

  102. Kartička 102

    Otázka

    Listen to an Academic Talk — how should you phrase the main idea in your notes?

    Odpověď

    Write the topic plus the professor's central point about it. A bare subject name does not capture the talk's direction.

  103. Kartička 103
