FAQ
Academic Discussion questions, answered
Academic Discussion is the third task in the 2026 TOEFL Writing section. You join an online class discussion: read the professor’s question and student replies, then post your own contribution in about 10 minutes. ETS says an effective response has at least 100 words and sets no maximum. It is scored on a 0-5 rubric.
Strong answers engage the discussion rather than ignoring it. Referencing or building on a peer post shows the interaction skills the rubric rewards, alongside a clear position of your own.
A reliable shape: state your position in one sentence, support it with one developed reason or example, connect to a peer post, and close. Timed practice makes that structure automatic.
Reading and Listening practice, sample answers, practice topics, and all blog guides are free. Unlimited AI-scored Writing and Speaking practice needs a paid plan: $29 every month or $59 every three months, cancel any time — each renews automatically until you cancel. Pricing is shown on this page, and there is no signup wall to see it.
Yes. The TOEFL Writing section changed on January 21, 2026 to three task types: Build a Sentence, Write an Email, and Academic Discussion. Reach120 practice follows the official ETS task descriptions for that format. Our scores are practice estimates, never official results.
