What does TOEFL 2026 Email Writing test?
You are given a real-life situation and a short list of required points. You write an email to an appropriate reader — a college office, an employer, a neighbor — and you have seven minutes to do it.
The task isn't just checking grammar. It rewards clear communication: completing every required point, using a register that fits the reader, and organizing the message so the purpose is easy to follow. A grammatically correct email that skips a required point scores lower than a simpler one that covers everything.
