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.
Apie šį rinkinį
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.

Work out the speaker's actual concern before choosing. Do not select an option only because it repeats the negative word.
73 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen and Choose a Response — what is the repeated-word trap?
Atsakymas
A distractor echoes vocabulary from the prompt but does not form a logical reply. Test the conversational link, not the word match.
74 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen and Choose a Response — what should you do with an unfamiliar expression?
Atsakymas
Infer its function from tone and context. You often need the speaker's intent more than a word-for-word definition.
75 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen and Choose a Response — when two options are grammatical, what decides between them?
Atsakymas
Conversational relevance. Choose the option a person would naturally say next in that situation.

79 kortelė
Klausimas

Write the speakers' shared purpose or central problem. A topic label alone is usually too broad.
80 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to a Conversation — what should you track about each speaker?
Atsakymas
Each speaker's role and goal. Knowing who needs information, approval, or action makes the exchange easier to follow.
81 kortelė
Klausimas

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

Atsakymas
Details that change the plan or explain a choice. Dates, requirements, obstacles, and decisions usually matter more than examples or greetings.
83 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to a Conversation — how can tone reveal speaker intent?
Atsakymas
Tone can show doubt, relief, hesitation, politeness, or disagreement. Combine it with the speaker's words before inferring intent.
84 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to a Conversation — what supports a sound inference?
Atsakymas
Two or more clues from the exchange. Choose what follows from the speakers' words and situation, not what is merely possible.
85 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to a Conversation — why should you expect paraphrases in the options?
Atsakymas
Correct answers often restate the audio with different words. Match the idea rather than waiting for an exact phrase.
86 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to a Conversation — how can a two-column note layout help?
Atsakymas
Give each speaker a column. This keeps requests, objections, and decisions attached to the right person.
87 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to a Conversation — how do you predict a likely next action?
Atsakymas
Use the final decision plus any stated condition. The next action should follow directly from where the speakers leave the situation.
88 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to a Conversation — why can one memorable sentence be misleading?
Atsakymas
A single sentence may describe an option that the speakers later reject. Follow the whole exchange before choosing the outcome.
89 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to an Announcement — where does this task usually take place?
Atsakymas
In an academic or campus setting. Expect a focused message about information students or staff need to act on.
90 kortelė
Klausimas

Klausimas
Listen to an Announcement — how should you record a reason and its result?
Atsakymas
Link them as cause → consequence. This prevents you from confusing why the change happened with what listeners must do.
95 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to an Announcement — how do you identify the likely next action?
Atsakymas
Look for instructions, deadlines, and eligibility conditions. The expected action must fit all three when they are stated.
96 kortelė

Atsakymas
It follows from explicit facts in the message. Do not add campus rules or procedures that the speaker never mentions.
97 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to an Announcement — how should you handle numbers, dates, and room names?
Atsakymas
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 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to an Announcement — what evidence should control your answer?
Atsakymas
The speaker's actual message. Familiar campus routines may sound plausible, but they are not evidence unless the audio supports them.
99 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to an Academic Talk — what kind of audio do you hear?
Atsakymas
A short academic talk by a professor or expert. It is focused rather than a long lecture set.
100 kortelė

101 kortelė
Klausimas

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

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

Atsakymas
Write the term, a short definition, and one example if given. Keep the example attached to the concept it illustrates.
109 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to an Academic Talk — what makes an inference stronger than a guess?
Atsakymas
It combines the speaker's claim, supporting detail, and tone. A reasonable fact from outside the talk is still not enough.
110 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to an Academic Talk — how can context unlock an uncommon word?
Atsakymas
Use the surrounding definition, contrast, example, or result. Infer the meaning needed in that sentence rather than a complete dictionary entry.
111 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to an Academic Talk — how should you interpret an idiomatic phrase?
Atsakymas
Read it through the speaker's point and tone, not word by word. The intended meaning must fit the surrounding explanation.
112 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to an Academic Talk — what note hierarchy keeps details useful?
Atsakymas
Main idea → major point → evidence or example. Indentation helps you see which detail supports which claim.
113 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to an Academic Talk — why should you mark a correction or qualification?
Atsakymas
It may replace or narrow an earlier statement. The revised idea, not the first rough version, is usually the one that matters.
114 kortelė
Klausimas
Listen to an Academic Talk — how can the ending help you check your notes?
Atsakymas
Use the closing summary or conclusion to confirm the central point. Update your main-idea note if the talk's direction became clearer.
