• Reading
  
• Listening
  
• Speaking
  
• Writing

Reading

• 3 academic reading passages followed by comprehension questions that measure the ability to understand and analyze the meaning of the passages
  
• Familiar question types from the computer-based TOEFL test
  
• New question types in which test takers
  
  
  
  • demonstrate they have learned what they have read, either by filling out a table or completing a narrative summary
    
  • choose a correct paraphrase of a reading
  
  
• New features that make the testing experience easier for test takers, including a glossary and review feature

Listening

• 2 conversations that include 2 or more speakers in each
  
• 4 lectures, which include classroom dialogue
  
• Opportunity to take notes while listening
  
• Familiar question types from the computer-based TOEFL test
  
• New question types that measure test takers' ability to understand a speaker's attitude or meaning

Speaking

• 2 independent tasks about familiar topics
  
  
  
  • Test takers state, explain, and support their response using personal knowledge and experience.
    View a sample task.
  
  
• 2 tasks based on Reading and Listening material
  
  
  
  • Tasks include a short reading passage and a short talk (These are shorter than those in the Reading and Listening sections.)
    
  • Questions require test takers to combine information from both the reading and the listening material in the responses
    
  • One task is based on a campus-related situation, and the other is based on academic classroom material.
    
  • Test takers can take notes and use them to respond
    View a sample task.
  
  
• 2 tasks based on Listening material, including a short lecture or conversation
  
  
  
  • Questions require test takers to summarize key ideas from the talks in the responses
    
  • One task is based on a campus-related situation, and the other is based on academic classroom material.
    
  • Test takers can take notes and use them to respond
    View a sample task.
  
  
• Trained raters evaluate test takers' ability in:
  
  
  
  • Topic development - show they understand and can make connections, and convey relevant information
    
  • Delivery - use clear, smooth, sustained speech for overall intelligibility
    
  • Language use - demonstrate control of grammar and word choice, and respond coherently

Writing

• 1 Reading/Listening/Writing task
  
  
  
  • Academic reading and lecture
    
  • Test takers must answer a question discussing the key points in the lecture and explaining how they relate to those in the reading passage.
    
  • Reading passage appears first, then is removed from the screen during the lecture. Test takers can view the passage again while responding the question.
    
  • Test takers can take notes and use them to respond
  
  
• 1 independent task about a familiar topic
  
  
  
  • Test takers state, explain and support their response using personal knowledge and experience. This task is similar to the writing task on the computer-based TOEFL test and the Test of Written English (TWE)
  
  
• Trained raters evaluate test takers' ability to demonstrate an understanding of the material, as well as write clearly, accurately, and in a well-organized manner.

The integrated skills approach to assessment reflects real English use in everyday university situations – both in and out of the classroom.
