84. Can candidates request special testing accommodations for disabilities (e.g., extra time)?

a) No, all candidates must take the test under identical conditions

b) Yes, by applying to ETS with medical documentation before registering for a test date

c) Yes, by simply asking the proctor on test day

d) Yes, but they must pay double the testing fee

Correct Answer: b) Yes, by applying to ETS with medical documentation before registering for a test date

93. How are raw scores for the Reading and Listening sections converted into scaled scores?

a) 1 raw point equals exactly 1 scaled point

b) Through a statistical equating process that adjusts for slight differences in difficulty across different test forms

c) By dividing the raw score in half

d) The proctor decides the scaled score manually

Correct Answer: b) Through a statistical equating process that adjusts for slight differences in difficulty across different test forms

Explanation:

Because no two test forms are exactly equal in difficulty, ETS uses statistical equating to ensure a score of 25 means the same ability level on any test date.

94. What is the typical word length of a TOEFL Reading passage?

a) 200-300 words

b) 400-500 words

c) 700-800 words

d) 1000-1500 words

Correct Answer: c) 700-800 words

b) Choose the option that best expresses the essential information of a highlighted sentence

c) Translate a sentence into your native language

a) Try to write down every single word the speaker says

b) Write down main ideas, key terms, and the relationship between concepts

c) Do not take notes at all, just listen

Explanation:

Security is paramount. The live photo taken on test day appears on the official score report sent to universities to ensure the person who tested is the one applying.

103. Are candidates penalized in the Speaking section for taking a brief pause to think?

a) Yes, any silence results in a score of zero

b) No, natural pauses for thought are acceptable, but excessive hesitation lowers the fluency score

c) Yes, unless they say 'um' while pausing

d) No, they can remain silent for up to 30 seconds

Correct Answer: b) No, natural pauses for thought are acceptable, but excessive hesitation lowers the fluency score

Explanation:

Brief, natural pauses are normal in speech. However, long silences or constant 'ums' indicate language struggle and will lower the Delivery score.

104. How is the final section score for Speaking (out of 30) determined?

a) The raw scores of the 4 tasks (0-4 each) are added together and scaled to 30

b) Only the highest task score is used

c) Only the human rater's score is used

d) The AI decides the score entirely

Correct Answer: a) The raw scores of the 4 tasks (0-4 each) are added together and scaled to 30

Each of the 4 speaking tasks is graded on a raw scale of 0 to 4. These raw scores are averaged and converted to a scaled score from 0 to 30.

105. What is the lowest possible total score on the TOEFL iBT?

a) 0

b) 10

c) 40

d) 120

a) Which book the author copied

b) What a pronoun like 'it', 'they', or 'this' refers to in the passage

c) Who the author is

Reference questions highlight a pronoun in the text and ask the test taker to identify the specific noun it replaces.

108. If you do not speak loud enough during the Speaking section, what could happen?

a) The microphone will not pick up your voice, leading to an unscorable response and a low score

b) The computer will auto-enhance your voice

d) You will get full points for trying

Correct Answer: a) The microphone will not pick up your voice, leading to an unscorable response and a low score

109. Which of the following describes the 'Attitude' question type in the Listening section?

a) It asks about the scientific facts presented

b) It asks whether the speaker sounds certain, confused, enthusiastic, or skeptical about a topic

c) It tests the test taker's attitude toward the exam

d) It asks for the definition of an academic word

b) No, grammar is evaluated implicitly through your ability to speak and write correctly

c) Yes, in the Reading section only

d) No, grammar does not matter on the TOEFL

c) On the morning of the test

d) Registration never closes

Standard registration closes 7 days before the test. You can register up to 2 days before the test, but a late fee will apply.

114. In the Speaking section, is it better to speak very fast or at a natural pace?

a) Very fast, to say as many words as possible

b) At a natural, conversational pace to ensure clear pronunciation and intonation

c) Very slow, saying one word every two seconds

d) Speed does not matter at all

Correct Answer: b) At a natural, conversational pace to ensure clear pronunciation and intonation

b) Your ability to select the synonym that best fits the context of the sentence

d) Your ability to translate the word into your native language

The raw scores of the two writing tasks carry equal weight when they are combined and scaled to determine the final section score of 0-30.

118. What happens if a candidate writes completely off-topic in a Writing task?

a) They still get a good score if the grammar is perfect

b) They receive a score of zero for that task

c) The AI corrects the topic for them

d) They get a warning and extra time to rewrite

Correct Answer: b) They receive a score of zero for that task

Explanation:

Addressing the prompt is a fundamental requirement. An essay that is entirely off-topic, memorized, or irrelevant will receive a score of zero.

119. Is British English accepted on the TOEFL?

b) No, it is an American test and requires American English

c) Only in the Reading section
