What's different about the new TOEFL test?

The TOEFL iBT has a new Speaking section, which includes independent and integrated tasks.

There is no longer a Structure section. Grammar is tested on questions and tasks in each section.

Lectures and conversations in the Listening section are longer, but note-taking is allowed. In fact, note-taking is allowed throughout the entire test.

The speech in the listening material sounds more natural, and one lecture may use a British or Australian accent. Also, there are new questions that measure understanding of a speaker's attitude, degree of certainty, and purpose.

The Reading section has new questions that ask test takers to categorize information and fill in a chart or complete a summary.

The Writing section requires typing. There is an integrated task in addition to the current independent task, and the scoring guides (rubrics) used for rating are different from the current test.
