Is your TOEFL® study material still current?

Written by the Reach120 research teamReviewed
The TOEFL® test changed on January 21, 2026. Answer five questions about the book, course, or site you are studying from and this tool tells you which current-format markers it has and which it is missing — with the ETS source behind every line.

Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored. You answer about your material, not with it, so no copyrighted content goes anywhere. The result appears without an account or an email address.

Five questions

Answer what you know. “Not sure” never counts against the material — those questions are simply left out of the read.

  1. 1.Does it include Build a Sentence practice — arranging given words into one correct sentence?
  2. 2.Does it teach the 1–6 score scale, in half-band increments, for tests taken on or after January 21, 2026?
  3. 3.Does it describe Reading and Listening as adaptive, with Writing and Speaking linear?
  4. 4.Does it cover the current task types by name — Complete the Words, Listen and Choose a Response, Listen and Repeat, Take an Interview?
  5. 5.Does it present the Writing section as essay tasks only, with no Build a Sentence items?
No account, no email. Nothing you answer leaves your browser.

How the read is decided

No model, no scoring, no judgment call. The first row that matches your answers is the read you get — this table is the logic, not a description of it.

What this tool does not do

  • It does not name, rate, or rank any publisher, book, or course. It reads your answers, not the material — verify any gap against the publisher’s newest edition.
  • It does not judge quality or teaching depth. Five format markers say whether the material describes the current test, not whether it is any good.
  • It does not predict a score, and it does not tell you that outdated material will make you fail. Old material still teaches English; it just no longer describes the test.

One page per value, if you want the answer without the tool

Each of these answers one narrow question from the same sourced tables this page uses, and states the date those sources were last checked.

No link is required. The embed carries its attribution as a rel="nofollow" link by default, and adding ?link=off to the embed URL removes the link entirely — the calculator works exactly the same either way.

Every tool here is free and needs no account. Each is reviewed 90 days after it ships: a tool that earns no measurable use is retired rather than left to rot, and its page says so on the way out. This one shipped on 2026-07-22, so its kill-rule review falls due on 2026-10-20.
