TOEFL iBT

TOEFL iBT

English-language proficiency exam often required of internationally-trained teachers seeking Texas certification.

For: Internationally-trained educators establishing English proficiency for Texas certification or higher education.
Duration: ~3 hours
Format: Computer-administered. Four sections — reading, listening, speaking, writing.

The TOEFL iBT is not a TExES exam, but many international teachers need it on their certification pathway. Our Ultimate Study Guide for the TOEFL iBT covers:

  • Reading — academic passages with inferential and synthesis questions
  • Listening — lectures and conversations with note-taking strategies
  • Speaking — integrated and independent tasks recorded under time
  • Writing — integrated (reading + listening + writing) and independent essays

Most exam takers underestimate the speaking section, which is graded for fluency, coherence, and topic development. We drill this directly.
