NEW TOEFL Reading Practice Tests [With Quizzes, Explanations, & Answers]

NEW TOEFL 2026 Official Practice Tests [Academic Passages]

The TOEFL Reading section now assesses your ability to comprehend both academic and everyday written texts in English. Starting January 21, 2026, the Reading section has been updated with a multistage adaptive format and new task types that make it easy for ETS to generate AI slop with minimal effort.

  • Section Structure Duration: Approximately 30 minutes
  • Number of Items: 50 questions total
  • Format: Multistage adaptive (difficulty adjusts based on your performance)
  • Task Types: 3 distinct question formats

 

The content now includes a modern mix of materials:

  • Academic passages like the old TOEFL reading passages (textbooks, scholarly articles)
  • Daily life texts (emails, social media posts, announcements)
  • Contemporary topics alongside traditional academic subjects

 

The new Reading section evaluates your ability to:

  • Process written texts for both meaning and grammatical form
  • Understand information in various text formats (linear and non-linear)
  • Identify main ideas and supporting details
  • Make inferences from written information
  • Understand academic and everyday vocabulary
  • Recognize relationships between ideas
  • Comprehend complex grammatical structures
  • Identify rhetorical purposes and text organization

 

You can also book a one-on-one or group lesson with me to practice strategies and get feedback on your performance.
