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.

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

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

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

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

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

82. kartīte

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

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

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

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

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

95. kartīte

It follows from explicit facts in the message. Do not add campus rules or procedures that the speaker never mentions.
97. kartīte
Jautājums
Listen to an Announcement — how should you handle numbers, dates, and room names?
Atbilde
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. 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.
99. kartīte

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

102. kartīte

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

Use the surrounding definition, contrast, example, or result. Infer the meaning needed in that sentence rather than a complete dictionary entry.

Atbilde
Read it through the speaker's point and tone, not word by word. The intended meaning must fit the surrounding explanation.
112. kartīte
Jautājums
Listen to an Academic Talk — what note hierarchy keeps details useful?
Atbilde
Main idea → major point → evidence or example. Indentation helps you see which detail supports which claim.
113. kartīte
Jautājums
Listen to an Academic Talk — why should you mark a correction or qualification?
Atbilde
It may replace or narrow an earlier statement. The revised idea, not the first rough version, is usually the one that matters.
114. kartīte

Listen to an Academic Talk — how can the ending help you check your notes?
Atbilde
Use the closing summary or conclusion to confirm the central point. Update your main-idea note if the talk's direction became clearer.
