Is your TOEFL® study material still current?

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  • It does not predict a score, and it does not tell you that outdated material will make you fail.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.

Every verdict line is sourced from ETS score guidance and the ETS 2026 test specifications, accessed 17 July 2026. Next review 16 August 2026 — if a source staled or changed, the question comes down before the next visitor sees it.
