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.

Tentang dek ini

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.

  70. Kartu 70

    Pertanyaan

  73. Kartu 73

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  74. Kartu 74

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  75. Kartu 75

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  79. Kartu 79

    Pertanyaan

  80. Kartu 80

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

  81. Kartu 81

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  82. Kartu 82

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  83. Kartu 83

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  85. Kartu 85

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  86. Kartu 86

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  87. Kartu 87

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  88. Kartu 88

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  89. Kartu 89

    Pertanyaan

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  94. Kartu 94

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  95. Kartu 95

    Jawaban

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

  96. Kartu 96

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  97. Kartu 97

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

    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. Kartu 98

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  99. Kartu 99

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  100. Kartu 100

    Pertanyaan

    Pertanyaan

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

    Jawaban

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

  103. Kartu 103

    Pertanyaan

    Listen to an Academic Talk — which common structures should you listen for?

    Jawaban

    Comparison, cause and effect, a sequence, a definition with examples, or a problem with a solution. The structure shows how details connect.

  104. Kartu 104

    Pertanyaan

    Listen to an Academic Talk — what do signposts such as first, however, and as a result reveal?

  105. Kartu 105

    Pertanyaan

    Listen to an Academic Talk — how can you tell why the speaker gives an example?

    Jawaban

    Connect the example to the claim immediately before it. The example may illustrate, support, qualify, or challenge that point.
