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.

Σχετικά με αυτήν τη δέσμη

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.

    Ερώτηση

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

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

  74. Κάρτα 74

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  75. Κάρτα 75

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

    Ερώτηση

  80. Κάρτα 80

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  81. Κάρτα 81

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  82. Κάρτα 82

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  83. Κάρτα 83

    Ερώτηση

    Ερώτηση

    Απάντηση

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

  85. Κάρτα 85

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  86. Κάρτα 86

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  87. Κάρτα 87

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  88. Κάρτα 88

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  89. Κάρτα 89

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  91. Κάρτα 91

    Ερώτηση

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

  92. Κάρτα 92

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  93. Κάρτα 93

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  94. Κάρτα 94

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  95. Κάρτα 95

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  96. Κάρτα 96

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  97. Κάρτα 97

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

    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. Κάρτα 98

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  99. Κάρτα 99

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση

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

  100. Κάρτα 100

    Ερώτηση

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

  101. Κάρτα 101

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

    Απάντηση

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

    Ερώτηση

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

    Απάντηση
