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.
O tomto balíčku
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.

They often reveal the paragraph's main role, while the middle supplies explanation or evidence.

whencalls for a time, whilewhycalls for a reason.Kartička 69

47 items in about 29 minutes. ETS notes that item count and time may vary as the section adapts.
Kartička 72

Work out the speaker's actual concern before choosing. Do not select an option only because it repeats the negative word.
Kartička 73
Otázka
Listen and Choose a Response — what is the repeated-word trap?
Odpoveď
A distractor echoes vocabulary from the prompt but does not form a logical reply. Test the conversational link, not the word match.
Kartička 74
Otázka

Odpoveď
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.

Kartička 79
Otázka
Listen to a Conversation — how can you capture the main idea in one line?
Odpoveď
Write the speakers' shared purpose or central problem. A topic label alone is usually too broad.
Kartička 80
Otázka
Listen to a Conversation — what should you track about each speaker?
Odpoveď
Each speaker's role and goal. Knowing who needs information, approval, or action makes the exchange easier to follow.
Kartička 81
Otázka
Listen to a Conversation — what compact note pattern fits a problem-solving exchange?
Odpoveď
Problem → options → decision. Add the reason for the final choice if the speakers give one.
Kartička 82
Otázka

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

Odpoveď
Words such as
instead,now,rescheduled, andrather than. Put the updated information in your notes, not just the original plan.Kartička 94
Otázka
Listen to an Announcement — how should you record a reason and its result?
Odpoveď
Link them as cause → consequence. This prevents you from confusing why the change happened with what listeners must do.
Kartička 95
Otázka
Listen to an Announcement — how do you identify the likely next action?
Odpoveď
Look for instructions, deadlines, and eligibility conditions. The expected action must fit all three when they are stated.
Kartička 96
Otázka
Listen to an Announcement — what makes an implied conclusion safe?
Odpoveď
It follows from explicit facts in the message. Do not add campus rules or procedures that the speaker never mentions.
Kartička 97
Otázka
Listen to an Announcement — how should you handle numbers, dates, and room names?
Odpoveď
Write them in short form as soon as you hear them. Exact logistical details are harder to reconstruct from memory than the main purpose.
Kartička 98
Otázka
Listen to an Announcement — what evidence should control your answer?
Odpoveď
The speaker's actual message. Familiar campus routines may sound plausible, but they are not evidence unless the audio supports them.
Kartička 99
Otázka
Listen to an Academic Talk — what kind of audio do you hear?
Odpoveď
A short academic talk by a professor or expert. It is focused rather than a long lecture set.
Kartička 100

Odpoveď
No. ETS uses varied academic fields, but the information needed to answer comes from the talk itself.
Kartička 101
Otázka
Listen to an Academic Talk — which kinds of understanding does ETS target?
Odpoveď
Main ideas, supporting details, organization, inferences, and sometimes uncommon or idiomatic vocabulary.
Kartička 102
Otázka

Odpoveď
Write the topic plus the professor's central point about it. A bare subject name does not capture the talk's direction.
Kartička 103
Otázka
Listen to an Academic Talk — which common structures should you listen for?
Odpoveď
Comparison, cause and effect, a sequence, a definition with examples, or a problem with a solution. The structure shows how details connect.
Kartička 104
Otázka
Listen to an Academic Talk — what do signposts such as
first,however, andas a resultreveal?Odpoveď
The relationship between ideas. They can mark sequence, contrast, or consequence before the content is complete.
Kartička 105
Otázka
Listen to an Academic Talk — how can you tell why the speaker gives an example?
Odpoveď
Connect the example to the claim immediately before it. The example may illustrate, support, qualify, or challenge that point.
Kartička 106
Otázka

Odpoveď
Name both subjects and record one shared feature or key difference. Keep each feature aligned with the correct subject.
Kartička 107
Otázka

Odpoveď
Use arrows: cause → immediate effect → wider result. This preserves order when several consequences are discussed.
Kartička 108
Otázka
Listen to an Academic Talk — how should you record a new term?
Odpoveď
Write the term, a short definition, and one example if given. Keep the example attached to the concept it illustrates.
Kartička 109
Otázka
Listen to an Academic Talk — what makes an inference stronger than a guess?
Odpoveď
It combines the speaker's claim, supporting detail, and tone. A reasonable fact from outside the talk is still not enough.
Kartička 110
Otázka
Listen to an Academic Talk — how can context unlock an uncommon word?
Odpoveď
Use the surrounding definition, contrast, example, or result. Infer the meaning needed in that sentence rather than a complete dictionary entry.
Kartička 111
Otázka
Listen to an Academic Talk — how should you interpret an idiomatic phrase?
Odpoveď
Read it through the speaker's point and tone, not word by word. The intended meaning must fit the surrounding explanation.
Kartička 112
Otázka
Listen to an Academic Talk — what note hierarchy keeps details useful?
Odpoveď
Main idea → major point → evidence or example. Indentation helps you see which detail supports which claim.
Kartička 113
Otázka
Listen to an Academic Talk — why should you mark a correction or qualification?
Odpoveď
It may replace or narrow an earlier statement. The revised idea, not the first rough version, is usually the one that matters.
Kartička 114
Otázka
Listen to an Academic Talk — how can the ending help you check your notes?
Odpoveď
Use the closing summary or conclusion to confirm the central point. Update your main-idea note if the talk's direction became clearer.
