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.
Bu deste hakkında
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.

Find the main subject and verb first, then attach modifying phrases and clauses to the ideas they describe.
Kart 59

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

The passage. Choose the answer supported by the text even when you know more about the topic.
Kart 62

The lab closes at sixcan explain whether there is time to visit it.Kart 70
Soru

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

Cevap
Work out the speaker's actual concern before choosing. Do not select an option only because it repeats the negative word.
Kart 73
Soru
Listen and Choose a Response — what is the repeated-word trap?
Cevap
A distractor echoes vocabulary from the prompt but does not form a logical reply. Test the conversational link, not the word match.
Kart 74
Soru
Listen and Choose a Response — what should you do with an unfamiliar expression?
Cevap
Infer its function from tone and context. You often need the speaker's intent more than a word-for-word definition.
Kart 75
Soru
Listen and Choose a Response — when two options are grammatical, what decides between them?
Cevap
Conversational relevance. Choose the option a person would naturally say next in that situation.
Kart 76
Soru
Listen and Choose a Response — what does multistage adaptive mean for the Listening section?
Cevap
The section adjusts to your ability as you progress. Its four task types stay the same, but the item count and timing may vary.
Kart 77
Soru
Listen to a Conversation — what setting is most typical?
Cevap
A campus-life conversation between two people. The exchange may involve a problem, plan, service, class, or student activity.
Kart 78
Soru
Listen to a Conversation — which four kinds of understanding does ETS emphasize?
Cevap
Main ideas, key details, speaker intent, and implied meaning. Listen for both what is said and why it is said.
Kart 79
Soru
Listen to a Conversation — how can you capture the main idea in one line?
Cevap
Write the speakers' shared purpose or central problem. A topic label alone is usually too broad.
Kart 80
Soru
Listen to a Conversation — what should you track about each speaker?
Cevap
Each speaker's role and goal. Knowing who needs information, approval, or action makes the exchange easier to follow.
Kart 81
Soru
Listen to a Conversation — what compact note pattern fits a problem-solving exchange?
Cevap
Problem → options → decision. Add the reason for the final choice if the speakers give one.
Kart 82
Soru
Listen to a Conversation — which details are most worth writing down?
Cevap
Details that change the plan or explain a choice. Dates, requirements, obstacles, and decisions usually matter more than examples or greetings.
Kart 83
Soru
Listen to a Conversation — how can tone reveal speaker intent?
Cevap
Tone can show doubt, relief, hesitation, politeness, or disagreement. Combine it with the speaker's words before inferring intent.
Kart 84
Soru
Listen to a Conversation — what supports a sound inference?
Cevap
Two or more clues from the exchange. Choose what follows from the speakers' words and situation, not what is merely possible.
Kart 85
Soru
Listen to a Conversation — why should you expect paraphrases in the options?
Cevap
Correct answers often restate the audio with different words. Match the idea rather than waiting for an exact phrase.
Kart 86
Soru
Listen to a Conversation — how can a two-column note layout help?
Cevap
Give each speaker a column. This keeps requests, objections, and decisions attached to the right person.
Kart 87
Soru
Listen to a Conversation — how do you predict a likely next action?
Cevap
Use the final decision plus any stated condition. The next action should follow directly from where the speakers leave the situation.
Kart 88
Soru
Listen to a Conversation — why can one memorable sentence be misleading?
Cevap
A single sentence may describe an option that the speakers later reject. Follow the whole exchange before choosing the outcome.
Kart 89
Soru
Listen to an Announcement — where does this task usually take place?
Cevap
In an academic or campus setting. Expect a focused message about information students or staff need to act on.
Kart 90
Soru
Listen to an Announcement — which abilities does the task measure?

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

Cevap
No. ETS uses varied academic fields, but the information needed to answer comes from the talk itself.
Kart 101

Main ideas, supporting details, organization, inferences, and sometimes uncommon or idiomatic vocabulary.
Kart 102
Soru

Cevap
Write the topic plus the professor's central point about it. A bare subject name does not capture the talk's direction.
Kart 103

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

first,however, andas a resultreveal?Cevap
The relationship between ideas. They can mark sequence, contrast, or consequence before the content is complete.
Kart 105
Soru
Listen to an Academic Talk — how can you tell why the speaker gives an example?
Cevap
Connect the example to the claim immediately before it. The example may illustrate, support, qualify, or challenge that point.
Kart 106
Soru

Cevap
Name both subjects and record one shared feature or key difference. Keep each feature aligned with the correct subject.

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