About the listening tests
The 2026 TOEFL listening section drops the long passages and rewards what real campus listening looks like — short lectures, quick office-hour conversations, and the kind of casual exchanges you hear walking across a quad. Each test on this site follows that pattern: two to three short audio clips, six to eight questions per set, and the same question types ETS uses — gist-purpose, detail, function, attitude, organization, and connecting-content.
What I think makes these different from other free tests: every clip is voiced by native speakers at real test pace (not the slowed-down sample you get on most practice sites), every question comes with a worked explanation that walks through the wrong answers too, and the full transcript is laid out side-by-side with the question so you can hear, read, and review in one screen. I write the prompts the same way I write them for my own students — so the difficulty curve actually maps to the real thing, not to a textbook idea of it.
If you're just starting out, the beginner sets stick to predictable academic topics (biology, history, art). The intermediate sets push you into denser vocabulary and faster turn-taking. No sign-up. Pick a test below and start.
