More information

Please note that changes were introduced to the TOEFL iBT test in July 2023. The current enhanced TOEFL iBT test takes 1 hour and 56 minutes to complete. Listening, Reading and Writing sections now take less time to complete than in the previous version. Furthermore, the Independent Writing task was replaced with the Writing for an Academic Discussion task which also takes less time to complete.
