What stays the same

The engine you can use today.

TOEFL Speaking will run on the speech and coaching engine behind IELTS Speaking. Everything below is live now.

  • Transcription of everything you say, so you can read back what the examiner would hear.
  • Criterion-based feedback, shown as practice estimates and never as an official result.
  • Bilingual scaffolding: hints and explanations in your own language, fading as you get stronger.
  • Spaced review that brings back what you got wrong, when you are about to forget it.
  • NOVA memory: NOVA remembers what you struggled with and builds the next session around it.

What changes for TOEFL

Four tasks, a 0 to 30 scale, and short prep windows.

TOEFL iBT Speaking is a different shape from IELTS. NOVA will be tuned for that shape, not stretched over it.

Four tasks, three of them integrated

One independent task and three integrated tasks that start from a listening or reading input. NOVA will give you the input first, then coach the response.

Scored 0 to 4, scaled to 30

Raters score each task from 0 to 4 and the section is scaled to 0 to 30. NOVA will show estimates on that scale as practice estimates, and only once we have published how they are validated.

15 to 30 seconds to prepare

Each task gives you 15 to 30 seconds of preparation before you speak. Practice will run on the same timers, so the pace is nothing new on the day.

Meanwhile

Start on the same engine today.

Practise IELTS Speaking free while you wait.

Your transcripts, spaced review and NOVA memory carry over to TOEFL Speaking when it opens. We will email the waitlist first.
