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.
Despre acest pachet
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.

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

Fișa 79
Întrebare

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

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

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

Fișa 85

Listen to a Conversation — why should you expect paraphrases in the options?
Răspuns
Correct answers often restate the audio with different words. Match the idea rather than waiting for an exact phrase.
Fișa 86
Întrebare
Listen to a Conversation — how can a two-column note layout help?
Răspuns
Give each speaker a column. This keeps requests, objections, and decisions attached to the right person.
Fișa 87
Întrebare
Listen to a Conversation — how do you predict a likely next action?
Răspuns
Use the final decision plus any stated condition. The next action should follow directly from where the speakers leave the situation.
Fișa 88
Întrebare
Listen to a Conversation — why can one memorable sentence be misleading?

A single sentence may describe an option that the speakers later reject. Follow the whole exchange before choosing the outcome.
Fișa 89
Întrebare
Listen to an Announcement — where does this task usually take place?

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

Fișa 95
Întrebare
Listen to an Announcement — how do you identify the likely next action?
Răspuns
Look for instructions, deadlines, and eligibility conditions. The expected action must fit all three when they are stated.

It follows from explicit facts in the message. Do not add campus rules or procedures that the speaker never mentions.
Fișa 97

Răspuns
Write them in short form as soon as you hear them. Exact logistical details are harder to reconstruct from memory than the main purpose.
Fișa 98
Întrebare
Listen to an Announcement — what evidence should control your answer?
Răspuns
The speaker's actual message. Familiar campus routines may sound plausible, but they are not evidence unless the audio supports them.
Fișa 99

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

Write the term, a short definition, and one example if given. Keep the example attached to the concept it illustrates.
Fișa 109

Fișa 110

Răspuns
Main idea → major point → evidence or example. Indentation helps you see which detail supports which claim.
Fișa 113
Întrebare
Listen to an Academic Talk — why should you mark a correction or qualification?
Răspuns
It may replace or narrow an earlier statement. The revised idea, not the first rough version, is usually the one that matters.
Fișa 114
Întrebare
Listen to an Academic Talk — how can the ending help you check your notes?
