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.

Par šo kavu

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.

    Jautājums

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

    Jautājums

  85. 85. kartīte

    Jautājums

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

    Atbilde

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

  86. 86. kartīte

    Jautājums

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

    Atbilde

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

  88. 88. kartīte

    Jautājums

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

    Atbilde

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

    Jautājums

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

  98. 98. kartīte

    Jautājums

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

    Atbilde

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