TOEFL Practice Tests for the Pre-2026 Format
Use this library for practice based on the TOEFL format used before the 2026 update. For preparation for the current exam, choose the dedicated TOEFL 2026 practice library.
This page is for students and tutors who specifically need practice from the TOEFL format used before the January 2026 update. It is separate from the current TOEFL library because the task types and score reporting have changed.
This is a legacy test library. Older formats can be useful for general language practice but should not be treated as a reliable model of the current TOEFL exam.
Previous test structure
What older TOEFL materials are designed to practice
The pre-2026 format focused on different passages, audio and integrated response tasks.
Earlier TOEFL Listening
Lecture and conversation recordings followed by multiple-choice listening comprehension questions.
Earlier TOEFL Speaking
Spoken responses to independent or integrated prompts that differ from the current Listen and Repeat and Interview task types.
Earlier TOEFL Writing
Older integrated writing materials and academic discussion practice. The current test adds new sentence-building and email tasks.
Prepare for the correct test
Switch to the updated TOEFL question types
The current TOEFL iBT includes task types such as Complete the Words, Read in Daily Life, Listen and Choose a Response, Build a Sentence, Write an Email, Listen and Repeat, and Take an Interview. These are available as separate categories in the TOEFL skill-practice catalog.
If your exam is upcoming, begin with the current TOEFL test library and consult ETS's current test content page. Keep this archived page only when you intentionally want older-format practice.
Format questions
Pre-2026 TOEFL practice FAQs
Should I use this library to prepare for a TOEFL test in 2026 or later?
Use the current TOEFL practice library first. You can use older passages as additional language exercises, but they do not cover all current test types.
Why are there separate TOEFL pages?
The official exam changed in January 2026. Keeping the two libraries distinct helps students avoid confusing older tasks with the current exam.
