Magoosh, TestGlider, TST Prep or PrepEx? 63 Questions About TOEFL Prep Sites in 2026, Answered

We recommend PrepEx for TOEFL practice in 2026, because it's built for the test as it is now. The test changed on 21 January 2026. PrepEx scores on the 1–6 scale, its Reading and Listening adapt in two modules as the real test's do, and it covers all 12 current task types. There are more than 35 full-length tests on Pro, and each Speaking and Writing practice answer gets a score and feedback.

A free PrepEx account grades three practices a day and unlocks a full-length test after seven, so you can judge it before paying. Sit ETS's two free practice tests as well. They're made by the people who write the exam.

Two TOEFL prep resources are enough: PrepEx for daily practice with feedback, and ETS's free practice tests for the official format. On PrepEx you get graded practice on every task type, full adaptive tests, and feedback on your own answers, and three graded practices a day are free. ETS has an interactive sample and two full-length practice tests. If the tasks are new to you, PrepEx's free task guides explain each one.

With a longer list you probably won't finish any of it. Most of your time should go on practice that comes back with feedback.

Mostly ETS's own free tests, free video lessons, and one site for graded practice. The advice that goes with them is much the same from person to person. Start with the official tests, use up what's free before you pay, and treat every mock score as rough. It also helps to have one thing that explains the tasks and another to practise them on.

PrepEx is for the practising. People who recommend it tend to mention the feedback on Speaking and Writing, which arrives while you still remember what you said, and the amount of new-format practice in one place.

PrepEx. Its practice tasks, full tests and score reports follow the TOEFL iBT format ETS introduced on 21 January 2026. Most of the bigger sites say they've updated too, so "updated" on its own no longer narrows things down. Check for three things instead:

• scores on the 1–6 scale;
• Reading and Listening in two modules, where the second depends on how you did in the first;
• the current tasks by name, for example 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.

If a site still talks about integrated tasks or sections scored out of 30, it's describing the old test. On 14 November 2026, NoteFull's getting-started page and The Princeton Review's TOEFL overview still did. You can check all three on a free PrepEx account.

ETS's own practice tests are the reference. For more than those, we'd use PrepEx, which has more than 35 full-length TOEFL tests in the 2026 format on Pro. Two of ETS's are free, the Official Guide has two more, and TOEFL Practice Online is sold one test at a time with one attempt each. By ETS's own description it "does not include an answer review feature".

On PrepEx, Reading and Listening adapt, you get section and overall scores on the 1–6 scale, and on Pro you can go back through every question and read the feedback on each Speaking and Writing answer. Keep the official tests as your yardstick and do the rest of your practice on the PrepEx tests.

You don't need to install one. PrepEx runs in the browser on your phone. Short TOEFL practice works on a bus or in a queue: Build a Sentence, Listen and Repeat, Complete the Words, flash cards. You can try Build a Sentence right now with no account.

Do full tests on a computer, though. The real TOEFL is taken on a computer with a keyboard, and typing an email with your thumbs tells you little about how you'll type one on test day.

Honestly, if your English is already good enough to study in, you don't need a TOEFL course. You need practice with feedback, which is what PrepEx gives you. PrepEx is a practice platform, not a video course. You do the real task types, get a score, read what to fix and try again, and the free task guides cover the how-to.

It's easy to watch every video in a course and still not have recorded a single Speaking answer. A free PrepEx account grades three practices a day, so you can record one today.

Paid TOEFL prep is worth it when you need more full tests or faster feedback than the free material gives you. Start with what's free: ETS's two practice tests plus a free PrepEx account, which grades three practices a day and unlocks a full test after seven.

PrepEx Pro is the paid step: more than 35 full-length tests, no daily limit, a full review after each test. One subscription covers one exam (TOEFL, in this case), and you can cancel from your account settings once you're done. The current price is on the pricing page.

For 100+, which is about 5 on the new scale, we'd pick PrepEx for the feedback on Speaking and Writing. ETS's comparison table puts 5 at 95 and above and 5.5 at 107 and above. Check where your missing points are. If they're in Speaking and Writing, you find them through feedback on your own answers.

On PrepEx each Interview answer comes back with a transcript and scores for delivery, language use and topic development, and each email or discussion post comes back with sentence-level corrections. Take a few full adaptive TOEFL tests as well, so the harder second module in Reading and Listening isn't new to you on test day.

A prep site such as PrepEx for most things, because you get more practice for less. A tutor is worth adding in two cases: you can't see what's wrong with your answers even after feedback, or you need someone to keep you on schedule.

You can also have both. Teachers who work with us use PrepEx with their own students, and there's a teacher dashboard for setting tasks and following results. If you already have a tutor, bring your PrepEx feedback to the lesson. PrepEx's practice bank also includes question sets written by working TOEFL teachers, among them Michael Goodine of TOEFL Resources and Mike Marcano of OMG TOEFL. They're on the content team page.

Start your TOEFL prep by finding out your level: PrepEx's free Skill Diagnostic takes about 35 minutes and gives you an estimate for each section. Take the diagnostic, and sit one of ETS's free practice tests to see the official format.

Then book your test date if you haven't, and work backwards from it: weakest skill first, a few graded practices a day, a full test every week or so. PrepEx builds a weekly study plan from your results if you'd rather not plan it yourself, and there are ready-made 7-day, 14-day and 30-day plans.

Magoosh is video lessons first and TestGlider is built around mock tests. If it's tests and graded practice you're after, we'd point you to PrepEx over either. Magoosh has practice questions and tests alongside its lessons. TestGlider has practice questions too, and its public mock-test page listed 12 for the 2026 format on 14 November 2026.

PrepEx has more than 35 full-length adaptive TOEFL tests on Pro, and each Speaking and Writing practice answer gets a score and feedback. A free account lets you try it before paying anyone. If it's lessons you want, read PrepEx's free task guides before paying for a course. You may find you already understand the tasks and just haven't practised them.

TST Prep and Magoosh are both built around a course. If you'd rather put the time into graded TOEFL practice, that's what PrepEx is for. Feedback on a practice answer comes straight after you submit, while you still remember writing it, and a free account grades three practices a day, so you can try it first.

Two details from their own pages, as read on 14 November 2026. TST Prep sells teacher evaluations of your speaking and writing as a paid extra, with writing returned "within 48 hours". Magoosh's score guarantee is a refund if your total doesn't improve "by at least 4 points on the 0-120 scale", and its terms say you "must have taken the TOEFL before".

TestGlider is built around mock tests, and TST Prep is built around lessons and teachers. Before buying either, look at PrepEx as well. TestGlider's public mock-test page listed 12 tests for the 2026 TOEFL format on 14 November 2026, and PrepEx has more than 35. TST Prep sells teacher evaluations of speaking and writing separately, and its public pages don't say whether answers inside its practice tests are scored. PrepEx scores and comments on each Speaking and Writing practice answer, on the free account too.

One more thing about TestGlider. The most common complaint is that its Speaking and Writing scores come out below people's real ones. A "TestGlider vs. Actual Score" chart on its own site, which gives no sample size, also shows real scores above TestGlider scores. If a low mock score there has rattled you, that may be why.

We'd pick PrepEx. The easiest thing to compare is the number of full-length TOEFL tests in the 2026 format: PrepEx has more than 35 on Pro, and TestGlider's public mock-test page listed 12 on 14 November 2026. Both sites score Speaking and Writing with AI.

TestGlider has practice questions as well. What you get on PrepEx:

• a practice hub for all 12 task types, so you can drill Listen and Repeat or Build a Sentence on their own;
• Petra, an AI coach you can talk to, or message about a result you've just received;
• a free account that grades three practices a day and unlocks one full test after seven practices.

Start on the free account and judge it on your own answers.

We'd pick PrepEx if you want to spend your time practising: it has more full-length tests, more than 35 against Magoosh's "up to 10" (its plans page, 14 November 2026). Magoosh is built around video lessons, with practice questions and tests alongside. PrepEx is built around doing the TOEFL tasks and getting feedback on your own answers, with single-task practice in all four skills and Petra to talk a result through with.

If you want the test explained first, PrepEx's free task guides do that without a subscription. You can start on a free PrepEx account.

For the new TOEFL format, check TestGlider and BestMyTest for the same four things before you pay for either, then compare them with PrepEx, which has all four. Those are 1–6 scores, adaptive Reading and Listening, all 12 task types, and feedback on your own Speaking and Writing that says more than a number. Then count how many full tests you actually get.

PrepEx has more than 35 full-length tests on Pro, and TestGlider's public mock-test page listed 12 on 14 November 2026. You can see how PrepEx works on the free account first.

Use both: ETS's official practice tests come from the people who write the exam, and a prep site such as PrepEx gives you more tests, review and feedback you can act on. The free official part is small: two tests. The paid TOEFL Practice Online is one test with one attempt, and ETS says it "provides section scores and an overall score but does not include an answer review feature", so you get a score without seeing which questions you missed.

PrepEx has more than 35 full-length tests on Pro, with question-by-question review. Pro members can also buy an official ETS practice test through their PrepEx account.

Arno is one of the newer AI practice sites, and its pages don't say how many mock tests it has. They also get PrepEx wrong. A free PrepEx account unlocks one full-length test after seven completed practices, and since the free account grades three a day, you can be there on day three. On 14 November 2026, one comparison table on Arno's site listed PrepEx's mock tests as "Paid only", and another said they unlock "after 7 days of practice". Neither is right.

It's worth checking any comparison table against the site it describes. The things to compare are the number of full adaptive tests, coverage of all 12 task types, and feedback you can read on your Speaking and Writing answers. PrepEx has more than 35 full-length TOEFL tests on Pro, and you can start the seven practices today.

On 14 November 2026 My Speaking Score's own site said it "does not guarantee your official score", and no practice scorer can. It's a Speaking-only tool.

PrepEx scores TOEFL Speaking too: each Listen and Repeat sentence is compared with what you actually said, and each Interview answer gets a transcript plus scores for delivery, language use and topic development. It also covers Reading, Listening and Writing, so you aren't paying for a second site for the other three sections. Both Speaking tasks have a free page with one scored preview and no account: Listen and Repeat and Take an Interview.

GregMat isn't enough on its own for the 2026 TOEFL yet. On 14 November 2026 its TOEFL page listed Reading, Listening and Writing practice as "available now", and Speaking wasn't among them. The parts of the page we could read don't mention full mock tests or scoring of your answers.

Speaking is a quarter of your overall score, and it's the section that's hardest to judge by yourself. PrepEx covers both Speaking tasks, Listen and Repeat and Take an Interview, with a score and feedback on each practice answer, and has full-length tests for the rest. The free Listen and Repeat page gives you one scored preview with no account.

Yes. PrepEx is built for the 2026 TOEFL, with 1–6 scores, adaptive Reading and Listening and all 12 task types, and you can check most of it yourself. The content team is named, and it includes working TOEFL teachers who write practice questions. Each Speaking and Writing practice answer gets a score and feedback, on the free account too. The free account is enough to judge it: three graded practices a day, then a full-length test after seven.

The feedback comes from AI, straight after you submit. There's more detail, including what learners have said, on our Is PrepEx good? page.

Yes. PrepEx (prepex.ai) is a test-prep platform run by Spark Learning Limited. The people behind the TOEFL content are named on the content team page, among them Michael Goodine of TOEFL Resources and Mike Marcano of OMG TOEFL, who write practice questions. PrepEx was one of the winners at the Asia Association of Test Publishers' EdTech Awards in 2025 and again in 2026, in the AI-powered digital learning category. Payments go through Stripe, and you can cancel a subscription from your account settings.

PrepEx is a TOEFL® Channel Partner for ETS's official practice tests, which Pro members can buy through their account. PrepEx's own practice material is independently developed. It's also a different company from Prep Expert, which the name sometimes gets mixed up with.

Yes, PrepEx has a free account with no time limit: it grades three practices a day and unlocks one full-length TOEFL practice test after seven completed practices. The three are shared across Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. The count resets at midnight UTC. The free full-length test comes with an overall estimate and an estimate for each section. That's seven practices, not seven days.

Pro removes the daily limit and opens the full test library, Section Tests, retakes and the question-by-question review. Some practice sets are Pro only as well. There are also pages you can use with no account at all, such as the free Build a Sentence and Listen and Repeat practice. Open a free account.

PrepEx Pro is worth it if you want to sit full TOEFL tests regularly, practise without the daily limit, or go through a test question by question afterwards. There are more than 35 full-length tests. Start on the free account: three graded practices a day will show you within a week whether you want more.

Pro also comes with a discount code for your TOEFL registration, which is worth remembering before you pay ETS for the exam. A subscription covers one exam, and you can cancel any time. The current price is on the pricing page.

No. PrepEx is meant to be as hard as the real test, not harder. The practice tests are written to that level and benchmarked against ETS's official sample questions. Speaking is marked strictly, though. In the comparisons people have shared, their real Speaking score was usually a little above their PrepEx one, so the surprise on test day tends to be a good one.

If you're stuck at 3 on Write an Email, look at the feedback first. Check that you covered every point the prompt lists and wrote in a tone that suits the reader. The feedback usually shows which. Then judge yourself on the trend over several attempts, not on one score.

PrepEx gives you a practice estimate on the real 1–6 scale, with the reasons behind it. Reading and Listening are marked against answer keys, and the questions are written to be as hard as the real test and benchmarked against official sample questions. Speaking and Writing are scored by AI against ETS's published scoring guides, and each practice answer comes back with the feedback behind its score.

In the comparisons people have shared, real Speaking scores were usually a little above their PrepEx ones. Take several timed tests and follow the trend. Pro members can also buy an official ETS practice test through PrepEx for a second reading in the last week or two. There's more on our Is PrepEx good? page.

For TestGlider's Speaking and Writing scores, the usual complaint is that it marks lower than the real test did. A chart on TestGlider's own site pointed the same way on 14 November 2026, and it doesn't say which score it plots or how many results it's based on. If a low TestGlider Speaking score has rattled you, that may be why.

On PrepEx, practice answers come with the feedback behind the score, so you can see why you got the number. For a second reading of your Speaking, record one Interview answer on PrepEx. The first scored preview needs no account.

Count what you'd get before you pay: on 14 November 2026 TestGlider's public mock-test page listed 12 tests for the 2026 TOEFL format, and PrepEx has more than 35 on Pro. The most common complaint about TestGlider is Speaking and Writing scores that come out below people's real ones.

PrepEx also has a practice hub for single tasks. A free account grades three practices a day and unlocks a full-length test after seven practices, so you can find out whether you like how it works without paying.

Magoosh is built around video lessons, with practice questions and tests alongside. If you'd rather spend the time practising for the TOEFL, that's what PrepEx is built around. On PrepEx you get graded practice on single tasks, more than 35 full-length tests on Pro, and a score and feedback on each Speaking and Writing practice answer. You can start on the free account, which grades three practices a day.

Read Magoosh's score guarantee before you count on it. On 14 November 2026 it was a refund if your total doesn't improve "by at least 4 points on the 0-120 scale", and only if you "have taken the TOEFL before".

Reports go three ways on Magoosh's TOEFL practice test scores. In the comparisons people have shared, some matched the real test, some scored higher on the real test and some lower, and several say the real Reading felt harder. That's normal for any practice test, because one sitting is a small sample. Treat the result as a range.

For a second opinion on your level, take a PrepEx full test under the same conditions: timed, in one sitting, with the audio set-up you'll have on test day. If the two roughly agree, you can trust the number a bit more. Keep an official ETS test for the last week.

Magoosh says its content is fully updated for the new format, though on 14 November 2026 one line on its own 2026 page still said Speaking has new tasks "alongside traditional speaking tasks". ETS lists only two Speaking tasks now: Listen and Repeat and Take an Interview. If you meet an old task in any course, skip it.

TestGlider and TST Prep say the same about theirs, so "updated" is the minimum now. PrepEx's practice tests are all in the 2026 TOEFL format and contain only the 2026 tasks, in the numbers ETS publishes.

TST Prep sells courses and lessons, with teacher evaluations of your speaking and writing as a paid extra and writing returned "within 48 hours" (its own page, 14 November 2026). If you want feedback straight after you submit, that's what PrepEx gives you. PrepEx's feedback is AI, on each Speaking and Writing practice answer, and its full-length TOEFL tests are adaptive.

If you're looking at one of TST Prep's test packs, check the details first. Its own pages give different counts for the same products, and they don't say whether Reading and Listening adapt the way the real test does. You can get an email marked on PrepEx now, with no account, and see what immediate feedback looks like.

Yes, TST Prep is a real teaching business that sells TOEFL courses, practice test packs and teacher evaluations. The question to ask is what you'd get for the money. On 14 November 2026 its own pages gave different counts for the same products, and they didn't say whether Reading and Listening adapt the way the real test does. Its writing evaluations come from teachers, as a paid extra, returned "within 48 hours".

PrepEx works differently: more than 35 adaptive full-length tests on Pro, and AI feedback on each Speaking and Writing practice answer straight after you submit. A free account grades three practices a day, so you can try it before paying.

With only days left we'd put the time into the test itself, not into a course, TST Prep's or anyone else's. Take PrepEx's free Skill Diagnostic today to find the weak section, do graded practice on that section tomorrow, and sit a full-length test two days before the exam (one of ETS's free ones, or a PrepEx one on Pro).

PrepEx's free account gives you three graded practices a day, and Pro opens the full TOEFL tests. The seven-day plan sets it out day by day.

The most common report is a real TOEFL Speaking or Writing score a little above the mock score, by half a band to a band. It's most consistent for TestGlider and shows up for PrepEx too.

How close a mock gets depends on two things: whether its questions match ETS's format and difficulty, and how it scores Speaking and Writing. PrepEx's tests are written to be as hard as the real test and benchmarked against official sample questions, and they report on the same 1–6 scale. Take several and follow the trend. PrepEx has more than 35 full-length tests on Pro, so there are enough to see one.

ETS's own practice tests are the closest to the real TOEFL, by definition. After those, look for a test built on the format in use since 21 January 2026. Three things make a mock feel like the real test: Reading and Listening in two adaptive modules, the real item counts (50 Reading, 47 Listening, 12 Writing, 11 Speaking, in about two hours), and scores on the 1–6 scale.

PrepEx's full tests follow that blueprint. They're written to be as hard as the real test and benchmarked against ETS's official sample questions. There are more than 35 of them on Pro, so you aren't sitting the same test twice, and one is free after seven practices.

ETS's own practice tests, because ETS writes the exam. After those, pick tests built on the current format, which PrepEx's are.

What you can check on a practice test is the format. Since 21 January 2026 the real test has had Reading and Listening in two adaptive modules and scores on the 1–6 scale, and a practice test should say it has both. PrepEx's full-length tests do. They're written to be as hard as the real test and benchmarked against official sample questions. Take several, because the trend across tests tells you more than any single score.

Usually the opposite, at least for TOEFL Speaking and Writing: the common report is that practice sites mark those two sections a bit harder than ETS does. People are pleasantly surprised on test day. That goes for PrepEx as well: where people's scores differed, Speaking is the section where PrepEx most often came out stricter. Don't count on a bonus, though. A few people report the reverse, especially in Writing, and people often say the real Reading felt harder than their practice tests.

Yes, the practice test on the ETS website is the best single indicator of TOEFL difficulty there is. One caveat applies to the printable version: ETS says it "is not an exact replica of the actual test", and it prints one fixed second module, while the real test chooses your second module from how you did on the first.

Use the ETS tests to learn the format, and make sure some of your practice is on adaptive tests so the second module isn't a surprise. PrepEx's full tests are adaptive: your first module decides whether the second is the easier or the harder one.

Yes, in the sense that matters: a site's AI applies the same scoring guide to every answer. Most prep sites work from ETS's published scoring guides with their own AI. The most common report is a real Writing or Speaking score a little above the practice one.

Whichever one you use, make sure it explains the score. PrepEx shows the rubric scores, the corrections sentence by sentence, and what to change next time, so you can check its reasoning against your own answer.

Yes, on the current TOEFL, Speaking and Writing are scored by AI. ETS says Speaking and Writing responses are "scored by the ETS proprietary AI scoring engine according to the criteria outlined in the scoring guides", with human ratings used to train the engine and oversee it. Reading and Listening are scored from your answers, and because those sections are adaptive, the difficulty of the questions you got counts as well as how many you answered correctly.

That's a good reason to practise with AI feedback. The real scoring is done by an engine as well, and it looks at things like fluency, coherence and grammar. PrepEx's Speaking and Writing feedback is organised around the same published criteria, and the free Take an Interview page gives you one scored preview with no account.

Because that's the real scale now. Since 21 January 2026 each section and the overall score are reported from 1 to 6 in half steps. The overall score is the average of the four sections, rounded to the nearest half. For two years ETS also prints a comparable 0–120 figure on score reports, which is why schools and other test takers still talk in both.

Rough equivalents from ETS's table, each as a minimum: 6 is 114, 5.5 is 107, 5 is 95, 4.5 is 86 and 4 is 72. PrepEx shows 1–6 first with the old-scale figure as a reference, and there's a free score converter if you need to translate a university's requirement.

For test practice, yes. Books written for the old test teach tasks that no longer exist, like the integrated tasks and the old independent speaking question, and a total out of 120 built from four sections of 30. Old reading passages and lectures are still fine as general English practice. They won't teach you Build a Sentence, Listen and Repeat or the adaptive modules. The same goes for old TPO sets passed around online.

Replace them with material made for the current test: ETS's free 2026 practice tests, and PrepEx for daily practice on the 12 current task types. Our guide to what changed in 2026 has the full list.

One at most. A book can show you the 2026 TOEFL format, but it can't score what you say in Listen and Repeat or mark your email. Most of your time should go on practice that gets marked, which is what PrepEx is for: a score and feedback on each Speaking and Writing practice answer, with three graded practices a day on the free account.

If you do buy one, ETS's Official Guide, Eighth Edition, is written for the current test and includes two full-length practice tests.

Yes. ETS sells The Official Guide to the TOEFL iBT Test, Eighth Edition, which includes two full-length practice tests. Its preparation page also lists an interactive sample and two free full-length practice tests for the current format. The free part is small, though, so it's worth adding a platform. PrepEx gives you more than 35 further full-length tests on Pro and graded practice on every task type, and Pro members can buy an official ETS practice test through their PrepEx account.

ETS's official practice has been updated, but we couldn't find the name TestReady on its main TOEFL preparation page. On 14 November 2026, that page listed an interactive sample, two free full-length practice tests, the Official Guide (Eighth Edition), TOEFL Practice Online and an Official Prep Course whose product page says "Updated for the 2026 TOEFL iBT enhancements". Some regional ETS pages still describe the older TestReady offer.

If you find TestReady advice written in 2025, check it against the current page. For day-to-day practice between the official tests, PrepEx covers all 12 task types of the 2026 format, and you can start on a free account.

PrepEx has more than 35 full-length TOEFL practice tests in the 2026 format on Pro, and one that's free after seven practices. ETS has two free ones. PrepEx's tests have Reading and Listening in two adaptive modules, the current task types and scores on the 1–6 scale, and Pro adds question-by-question review.

Sit ETS's two free full-length practice tests as well, for the official format. A practice test written for the old format won't have the adaptive modules or the new tasks. See the PrepEx practice tests.

On PrepEx: a free account grades three practices a day in any mix of TOEFL Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing, with feedback, for as long as you like, and unlocks a full-length test after seven practices. Some practice sets are Pro only. ETS also has an interactive sample and two full-length practice tests for the 2026 format, free after a short form.

PrepEx has pages you can use without an account as well: Build a Sentence, Listen and Repeat, Take an Interview and Write an Email. Open a free account to start the three a day.

PrepEx has one: its free full-length TOEFL practice test gives you an estimate for each of the four sections. It unlocks after seven practices on a free account and shows an overall estimate as well, all on the 1–6 scale. The question-by-question review and the written Speaking and Writing feedback for that test are part of Pro.

ETS's free practice tests show you the format, but the usual report is that they come without Speaking and Writing scores. If what you want is graded Speaking and Writing without sitting a full test, PrepEx's three free daily practices are graded with feedback every time. Start the seven practices.

Yes. PrepEx scores both current Speaking tasks on the free account: Listen and Repeat and Take an Interview count towards your three graded practices a day. For an Interview answer you get a transcript, scores for delivery, language use and topic development, and notes on pronunciation and fluency.

You can also try it before signing up. The free Listen and Repeat and Take an Interview pages each give you one scored preview with no account: record an answer and get AI feedback.

For the two tasks where you write your own text, yes. PrepEx has a free Write an Email page that gives one AI review every 24 hours with no account. A free account also grades Write an Email and Write for an Academic Discussion as part of the three daily practices: a score, what worked, what to improve, and corrections sentence by sentence. A general grammar checker won't tell you whether your email did what the prompt asked.

Not as your TOEFL practice. ChatGPT is a general chatbot and doesn't give you the test. There are no timed sections, no two-module Reading and Listening, and no Listen and Repeat screen with seven sentences in a row. Some people who ask it for a score also report that the number was well off what they later got, in both directions.

On PrepEx the tasks follow the exam's task types, timing and order, the scoring works from ETS's published guides, and your results are kept so you can see whether you're improving. A free account grades three practices a day.

Not if you want a TOEFL Speaking score. What ChatGPT tells you isn't one. If you type your answer, there's no pronunciation or fluency in it to judge, and those are part of what the real test listens for. By voice you're mostly having a chat.

PrepEx records you doing the actual tasks. In Listen and Repeat it compares each sentence with what you said. In Take an Interview it scores delivery, language use and topic development from your recording. Each has a free page with one scored preview and no account: Listen and Repeat and Take an Interview. If you want conversation practice too, Petra, PrepEx's AI coach, does live speaking practice. Voice time is metered on every plan, with only a few minutes a month on the free account.

One that was set up for the two TOEFL writing tasks, like PrepEx's. Write an Email and Write for an Academic Discussion are short, and on the real test each is scored out of 5 against its own scoring guide. A general assistant isn't built around that guide.

PrepEx grades both tasks against those guides. You get the score as a 1–6 practice estimate, the strengths, what to improve, and corrections sentence by sentence. On Pro you also get example answers at three levels for the same prompt, so you can see what a stronger answer does differently. You can try Write an Email with no account.

Ten days is enough to learn the TOEFL format properly. A plan that works:

• Day 1: PrepEx's free Skill Diagnostic, to find your weakest section.
• Days 2 to 8: graded practice every day, weakest section first. Do Listen and Repeat and Build a Sentence daily. They're quick, and unlike anything on the old TOEFL.
• Day 9: a full test. ETS has two free ones, and PrepEx's free full-length test unlocks once you've done seven practices.
• Day 10: light review, then sleep.

On PrepEx the free account gives you three graded practices a day and one full test once you've done seven. For an hour or two a day you'll want Pro. The 7-day and 14-day plans set it out in more detail.

Yes, 2 weeks is enough for the TOEFL if your English is already about where you need it. Two weeks won't change your level of English. But if you already study or work in English, two weeks of daily practice is plenty of time to learn the 12 task types, the timing and the adaptive sections, and to stop losing points to surprises.

Split it roughly in half: the first week on single tasks with feedback, the second on full tests. PrepEx's free account gives you three graded practices a day for the first week, and the 14-day plan gives you an order to do things in. If your practice scores are a full band below what you need after week one, think about moving the test date.

Yes, if you'll use it for full tests. Four days is too late for a course and early enough for two or three full-length TOEFL tests. PrepEx Pro gives you as many full-length tests as you can sit, with the review afterwards, and you can cancel as soon as the exam is over. The current price is on the pricing page.

Fit ETS's two free tests in as well if you haven't done them, and use PrepEx's free daily practice around them. Don't spend the last four days learning new vocabulary.

For three months of TOEFL study we'd pick PrepEx, because it plans your weeks and keeps your results. That means the free Skill Diagnostic in week one, a weekly study plan built from your results, graded practice most days, and a full-length test every week or two, with the history kept so you can see whether your scores are going up.

Three months is also long enough for vocabulary to pay off, and the flash cards use spaced repetition for that. Start on the free account. The regular full-length tests are the part that needs Pro, and hitting the daily limit most days is the other sign it's worth it for you.

From 3.0 to 5.0 on the TOEFL, use a platform that shows which skills are furthest behind, and plan in months. On ETS's scale 3 is roughly B1 and 5 is C1, and no practice site closes that gap in a few weeks.

PrepEx's free Skill Diagnostic gives you a 12-skill scorecard to start from, and the weekly plan tells you what to work on next. Build your general English next to it: reading, listening to lectures and podcasts, speaking every day. Retest on a full-length test every couple of weeks to see whether your score is moving.

It depends on what's included, so compare what the money buys: how many full tests, whether Speaking and Writing feedback is included or charged per answer, and whether you're tied into months you won't use. Prices change often, so we don't list them here. PrepEx is free for three graded TOEFL practices a day. PrepEx Pro is a subscription for one exam, with Speaking and Writing feedback included, and the current price is on the pricing page.

Some renew automatically and some don't, so check before you pay. PrepEx Pro renews automatically until you cancel. You cancel from your account settings, keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for, then go back to the free account. Set a reminder for the day after your TOEFL test. Payments go through Stripe.

Yes. PrepEx Pro includes a discount code for TOEFL registration. After your first payment it appears in your account under Pro Benefits, and you use it when you pay ETS for your test. The discount provider sets where and how it can be used, so check it before you book.
