TOEFL iBT · 2026 format
The TOEFL exam format: timing, sections and question types
The TOEFL iBT was redesigned in 2026. It is shorter than before, runs in a fixed order, and now adapts to your level as you go. Here is how the current test is built, section by section, so you know exactly what to expect on test day.
| Section | Time | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Reading | about 30 min | Complete the Words, Read in Daily Life, and Read an Academic Passage. Delivered as two adaptive modules. |
| Listening | about 29 min | Choose a Response, plus conversations, announcements and academic talks. Also two adaptive modules. |
| Writing | about 23 min | Build a Sentence, Write an Email, and Write for an Academic Discussion. |
| Speaking | about 8 min | Listen and Repeat, and Take an Interview. |
Total testing time is roughly 90 minutes, and the whole appointment, with directions, is under two hours.
What is new in the 2026 format
Reading and Listening are now adaptive: how you do on the first module decides whether the second is harder or easier. Three new task types appear, Complete the Words in Reading, Build a Sentence in Writing, and Listen and Repeat in Speaking, while the old independent essay and the separate integrated speaking tasks have been retired. The four sections come in a fixed order, Reading, Listening, Writing then Speaking, with no scheduled break.
How the TOEFL is scored
Each section is reported on a 1.0 to 6.0 band, and your overall score is the average of the four sections, rounded to the nearest half band. For a transition period after January 2026, ETS also gives a comparable score on the familiar 0 to 120 scale, so universities that still quote a 0 to 120 requirement can read your result either way.
Preparing for the new format
Because the test now adapts and rewards steady accuracy over speed alone, practice on the current format matters. Our free classes and full length mocks are built around the redesigned TOEFL, so the tasks you rehearse are the tasks you will actually see. Register and start preparing, or pick a date from the schedule above.

TOEFL for Australian PR, straight from Nigeria.
Planning to migrate to Australia from Nigeria? The TOEFL iBT is accepted by the Australian Department of Home Affairs for every points-tested skilled migration visa, including the subclass 189 Skilled Independent, 190 Skilled Nominated and 491 Skilled Regional visas. Your TOEFL score does more than pass here, it earns you points on the points test, up to 20 points for Superior English, and you can sit the TOEFL for Australia right in Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt with our free preparation.
What your TOEFL score is worth for Australia PR
Australia rates your English at three levels, and each is worth points on the skilled migration points test. Competent English is the minimum and adds 0 points: Listening 12, Reading 13, Writing 21, Speaking 18. Proficient English adds 10 points: Listening 24, Reading 24, Writing 27, Speaking 23. Superior English adds 20 points: Listening 28, Reading 29, Writing 30, Speaking 26. Each of the four sections must reach the level on its own, so your lowest section decides your English level, and the Department of Home Affairs accepts results within three years of your test date. Confirm the current thresholds with the Department of Home Affairs or a registered migration agent before you lodge.
Why Superior English is the score to chase
In Australian skilled migration, invitations go to the highest point scores first, and English is one of the easiest places to add points. Moving from Competent to Superior English is a swing of 20 points, often the difference between an invitation to apply and months in the queue. That is why Nigerian candidates targeting Australia PR aim for the Superior band, and our TOEFL classes are built to lift all four sections, Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing, to that level rather than just scraping a pass.
Migrating to Australia from Nigeria? Sit the TOEFL and aim for Superior English, 20 points on the points test.

TOEFL in Nigeria, explained.
The TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language, internet-based test) is the English proficiency exam most Nigerian students take to study abroad. Run by ETS, it is accepted by thousands of universities across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia, as well as by many scholarship boards, professional licensing bodies and immigration authorities. If you are applying to a foreign university from Nigeria, the TOEFL is very often the test that proves your English is ready for it.
What is the TOEFL iBT and who needs it?
The TOEFL measures academic English across four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. Each section is scored from 0 to 30, for a total out of 120. The current test has been shortened and now runs in under two hours. Nigerian candidates take the TOEFL for undergraduate and postgraduate admission abroad, for funded PhD and research positions, and increasingly for nursing and other professional registration in the US, Canada and the UK. If a university or programme lists English proficiency as a requirement, a strong TOEFL score is one of the cleanest ways to satisfy it.
How to register for the TOEFL in Nigeria
Registering through Mafit Study Centre works from any of the 36 states. You speak to a counsellor, confirm your goal, pick a test date, and pay. The one document you must have is a valid international passport, because the exact name on it is your only accepted ID on test day. You can register online without travelling to Lagos or Abuja, and your free preparation activates within 24 hours. Apply the promo code Mafit at registration to bring your fee down, or start on the Pay Small Small plan and complete the balance before your test date.

Register now →TOEFL fees in Nigeria 2026
The standard TOEFL iBT fee in Nigeria runs about ₦250,000, and ETS adds more if you register late or reschedule. Registering through Mafit with code Mafit brings your total to ₦220,000, below the standard fee, and unlike a direct booking that single fee also bundles your classes, six full mock exams, Magoosh Premium, and the Kaplan, Barron's and ETS textbook stack at no extra cost. Most outlets charge the full rate and then bill separately for materials. The Pay Small Small option lets you begin with ₦70,000 today and pay the rest when you are ready to fix your date.
TOEFL test dates and centres in Nigeria
There are 25+ TOEFL iBT dates across 2026, roughly every two weeks from January to June. Sittings run in Lagos, Abuja, Owerri, Asaba, Enugu, Jos and Port Harcourt, and Mafit's flagship centres sit in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, with live online classes reaching every other state and the FCT. Popular dates fill first, so the safe move is to book six to eight weeks before your university deadline. You can browse the 2026 calendar and filter it by your city above.
TOEFL scores and what universities require
Because the TOEFL is scored out of 120, knowing your target band matters. As a guide, most US universities ask for 80 to 100, with the most competitive schools wanting 100 to 110 or higher. Canadian universities usually look for around 86 to 90, and most UK Russell Group universities sit near 88 to 100. Your scores stay valid for two years, and the ETS MyBest feature combines your best section scores across sittings into one superscore that many universities accept. Not sure where you stand? Our score calculator and university matcher shows which universities accept your level instantly.
TOEFL vs IELTS for Nigerian candidates
Both the TOEFL and the IELTS are widely accepted, and neither is easier overall. The TOEFL is fully computer-based, with Speaking recorded into a microphone, which suits candidates comfortable typing and used to North American English. The IELTS Speaking test is a face-to-face interview instead. The best choice is the one your target universities prefer and the one that plays to your strengths, and our counsellors help you decide before you commit a single naira.
How to prepare and score 110+
For most Nigerian candidates, six to ten weeks of structured study is enough to clear 100, and a focused track pushes strong candidates past 110. The Mafit programme pairs in-person classes in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt with live online lectures, six mock exams, and the Peer Tag-Team speaking and writing exchange that closes the gap most candidates lose marks on. Classes are led by our Head of Language Studies, a published British Council author with a double Master's. Score 110 or higher on test day and we pay you ₦20,000 cash.

What the TOEFL exam involves
The TOEFL iBT is the English proficiency test most Nigerian students take to study abroad. It has four sections, Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing, and candidates sit it for undergraduate and postgraduate admission, funded PhD and research places, scholarships, and increasingly for nursing and professional registration in the US, Canada and the UK. Where a university lists English proficiency as a requirement, a strong TOEFL score is one of the cleanest ways to meet it.

Register now →TOEFL fees in Nigeria: how much it costs
The standard TOEFL fee runs about ₦250,000, and ETS charges more for late booking or rescheduling. Registering through Mafit with the code Mafit brings your total to ₦220,000, and that one fee also covers your classes, six mock exams, Magoosh Premium and the full textbook stack at no extra cost. Most outlets charge the full rate and then bill separately for materials.
TOEFL classes and preparation
Whatever you call it, classes, coaching, tutorials or training, your TOEFL preparation is free once you register. You get in-person classes in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, live online lectures taught rather than pre recorded, self paced lessons, past questions and practice tests, and a full mock TOEFL with score analysis. Your materials include the Kaplan and Barron's TOEFL books, the Official Guide to the TOEFL, Cracking the TOEFL iBT and the Manhattan 5 lb practice book as e-books, a Magoosh Premium account, and up to six full length mocks.
TOEFL scores and what universities require
A strong TOEFL score is often the one thing standing between a Nigerian applicant and an admission or scholarship offer. Many universities ask for a score between 80 and 100, while the most competitive programmes want more. Our structured tracks and six mocks are built to clear those requirements and push you toward a high score rather than a bare pass.
TOEFL or IELTS?
Many candidates weigh the TOEFL against the IELTS. Both are widely accepted, and the TOEFL iBT is often the cleaner choice for Nigerian applicants, but the right test is the one your universities prefer and the one that plays to your strengths. Not sure? Speak to a counsellor and we will match the test to your destination.
