Is the TOEFL iBT more difficult than the previous TOEFL formats?
Although the TOEFL iBT Reading and Listening sections contain longer passages, the questions are not very different from those on the previous TOEFL formats. The integrated tasks on the TOEFL iBT Speaking and Writing sections may be considered more challenging. However, to succeed academically in English-speaking colleges and universities, students need to be able to combine their language skills in the classroom. The integrated tasks in the TOEFL iBT help learners build the confidence needed to communicate in the academic environments they plan to enter.
