Concerning the independent essay - great news! It actually blew my socks off😂 I bet no one is gonna take the IELTS test anymore 😊

Thank you Michael! About the writing section, I hope it will be all for the best! :D

Wow. Wonderful newa. Congrats for doing those improvements. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thanks for the updates!!

So quick! You are the first to announce this, thank you so much for this new information :)

Very helpful and informative. Thank you so much dear Michael .

Thank you for the clear explanations.

My heart ful thanks to you sir for this video!!!!!❤❤❤

Thank you. Very helpful information ❤

You made my day ! Thank you so much🙏

The best information from the best teacher! This made my day. Thank you a lot.🌸 I should mark that you are one of the first people who announced this major change. I need to take the TOEFL in April but I'm still happy that I can retake it in August if I am not satisfied with my score. I really don't like current independent writing and the length of the reading section.

Thank you sir Michael.

The happiest news ever!!!!!!!!! Im so grateful for the newest version 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Very good to know! Thanks, Michael. You always help me keep my own students informed. I've checked out some of your samples and compared them with ETS' samples for Essentials. There seem to be some differences. While your samples include a discussion in which students agree and disagree with each other, Essentials' samples include stand-alone answers. As you said, you probably don't know what exactly it will look like, but what are your thoughts on this? Will it be slightly different than Essentials as your samples suggest?

Thank you so much 😍😍😍

Thank you for the update! I'm 😮

Thank you Michael for your explanation, Do you have any idea when the last dates they will work with current exam?

Thank you for keeping us informed, Michael. Do you believe that the same changes will be made to the Home Edition in July as well?

Great news, Michael

Thank you, Michael. Do you know if prices will be less too or no? :)

Tnx from your information

these changes sound amazing! i'm so pissed i took the test a few months ago hahaha wish i would've waited until july. but glad i got a good score

Thanks Michael for this informative video, that means a mistake in the reading passage will cost us a lot, doesn’t it?

Hello sir, thank you for announcing. i say is it going to be easier than the old version, as i am preparing myself for passing it within four mounts later ?

Sir MichaeI , thank yo so much for the info. I would like to ask , if our scores is still valid when this new TOEFL changes will be implemented. Since the validity is 2 years

Thanks Michael! Do u think the discussion board will take up half of the score for writing part since it basically replaces independent writing?

I have been a TOEFL instruxtor for 15 years, and in the las 2 the Proctor service has gone down the drains. I have several students whose tests were cancelled for nothing, and they would even speak during Listening. I am glad thianis changin. It was unecessarily stressful.

Great news, The shockzzzzz!!!!

What a blessing news 🎉!

Thank you Michael. What’s the time for each section ?

Hopefully, after July 2023 some people will give feedback about the new test version. About the writing part, is seems way too short to read and write in 10 min. Not happy about the writing change...

Thanks Michael, but What do you think of the disscusion board part? How can test takers prepare for that new stuff?

Hello Michael, Are the TOEFL Paper Edition tests taken in secondary schools affected by these changes as well ? Thanks

thank you for the early information? how is the scoring system?

to the point! no fluff.

Hello! Did I understand correct that I can support the professor's opinion(Discussion Question) and write some sentences to explain my idea? Or my opinion always have to differ from the professor's point of view?

Hi! Im an international student in the proces of taking my toefl test the question I have is do you think it would be more benefitial for me to take the test before the chamges or after the chamges?

If I already passed some sections, are the best scores going to stay the same? Or there are some changes on that too.

This is a great news for us

I'll take TOEFL on 12th April, I had the date but now... What should I do? Independent essay was my strong side, I'm not that good on integrated. Should I take the TOEFL on July or if I take the test on April, will it be still scored over 120 and works? The universities will accept this 'now old version' of TOEFL score?

Thanks Michael! Is it true that scoring Listening and Reading will be harder? Because of the reduction of questions, you will receive a significantly lower grade as a result of each question missing🤔.

That’s interesting how did you know the change long before ETS makes an official announcement?

i am soo happy, I found the test to be too lengthy too.

Will the exam still be scored out of 120 points? I just can't wrap my mind around the idea of removing the Independent Writing section from the exam, as it is clearly the most effective way of assessing test takers' grammar, vocabulary and writing skills. How they believe they can judge one's productive skills with a mini paragraph simply baffles me.

Mike, should I wait till July or better to give test before July 25

It is a great news but could you say for us? where did you get the news? sir

How will the scoring be? 120 or less since 1 whole reading passage is omitted.

Hello Michael! I have booked my test on January 10/ 2023. And my test is on June 24. Will the ETS give me a free reschedule because of this new format? I would like to try the new format??

I only struggle in the speaking section and unfortunately, there is no change in this section

Hi thanks for channel, Are reading and listening going to get harder?

In my opinion the most necessary change that toefl should make is introducing retaking any one section again just like ielts. This is so much needed. Not always we score bad in 4 sections. Sometimes improvement in only 1 section is needed & it is so frustrating to give the whole exam again just for the sake of improving one section 😪😪👎👎

Thanks alot. I appreciate your toefl resources website. But I got two questions: 1. Is there any changes with the level of difficulty or complexity or not? 2. Is there any changes with the score of 120. Some one told me that the new writing task only has 10 scores. IS that right

I think this is bad news rather than good one. This means my efforts that had been put into the independent essay were gone. And this reform means each question is gonna worth more points, definitely did not expecting that to happen :(

Will the test become easier or harder? I need specific requirements for licensing exams.

Do you know how the score will be calculated?

When will this be announced oficially by ets?

How many questions are there in listening new format??

Please what do you mean by unscored and not unscored questions ?

Great. Is it possible to continue choosing the best score?

Hello Michael how are you?, hopefully fine. I rescheduled my test exactly on 26 of July 9:00am i am wondering if the changes will take place during my test or not, as i am really looking forward to the new writing task. Thanks

I hope I won't need to take my TOEFL again. I took it yesterday in the home edition, and it was a bit stressful. I think I will get the score I need, and I want to say, 'THANK YOU' for your content.

This changes are concerning just the section of July or after this section the toefl test will be like that or it will be returne to the old test? Please I need the answer

Hey Micheal, how can I contact you please!!

This changes are great, do you think ever price will change for better? Many students have to take Toefl over and over time.

Do you advise me to take the exam before July?

Are these changes valid even if I signed up in March to take the test in August??

Good news

My tofel score result has cancled,, know what can i do??

Is this the TST prep guy? sounds familiar

The toefl itp will change, or it will be the same format?

What's your source? Is this information reliable?

Hello Michael, I checked the TOEFL iBT site of ETS but have not found the announcement you mentioned in the video. May I ask where you acquired the information? Thank you.

When will it be

I wish they would remove two speaking questions instead.

Aren’t they getting tired of changing it?

TOEFL or IELTS which one is better?

20 questions for reading? ETS is mad. This does not make any sense... They must be kidding..

Making the test shorter doesn't make it easier to pass.

In shock

Is it official information?

Suddenly....

Is it good or bad news?

New TOEFL hard or easy..

How about the examination fee? No change?

Is it correct really 😊

The only asset that I dominated was INDEPENDENT WRITING

O my sweet Jesus Lord ,unbeliveble finally Toefl stopped torturing with that useless ,,nonsense test! Change,apparently in good way,shape ,form.

My exam in may🫥

Hi Michael! Thank you so much for keeping us informed! Yet I’m concerned about the difficulty of reading passages, will they be harder? 🥲
