I’ve been uploading videos about the new TOEFL test. Here’s one about the listening section.
Meanwhile, I’ve created a landing page for the section here on the website. To quote that page:
The TOEFL listening section will totally change on January 21, 2026.
Starting on that date, the listening section will be divided into two modules. First will be the “routing module.” This will be the longest module and the difficulty will be the same for everyone. The second module will depend on your performance in the routing module. If you do well on the routing module, you will get the “hard module.” If you do poorly, you will get the “easy module.” You should correctly answer about 60% of the questions in the routing module to reach the hard module.
Every test will be different, but you’ll probably have about 27 minutes to complete both of them. A clock on the screen will display how much time is remaining in the current module.
The listening section will contain both scored and unscored questions. You won’t know which is which.
