TOEFL Exam Content:

For the Speaking section, test takers speak into a microphone, and their responses are digitally recorded and sent to the ETS Online Scoring Network. For the Writing section, test takers must type their responses, and their responses are sent to the ETS Online Scoring Network.
Exam Content: Reading (3-5 passages, 12-14 questions each: 60-100 minutes) - Listening (4-6 lectures, 6 questions: 60-90 minutes; 2-3 conversations, 5 questions each) - BREAK (10 minutes) - Speaking (6 tasks: 2 independent and 4 integrated: 20 minutes - Writing (1 integrated task: 20 minutes, and 1 independent task: 30 minutes.)

This form, after completing, must be returned to test administrator before leaving center.
Additional Score Reports:
Examinees who want to have scores sent to more than four recipients should complete the Score Report Request Form on page 61 of the TOEFL CBT Bulletin and return it to ETS together with the correct payment.
