The TOEFL iBT test features many of the question types used on the computer-based test. However, the new questions that ask test takers to integrate (combine) two or more skills are probably the most distinguishing feature of the new test. Questions that assess integrated skills require test takers to:

• read, listen, then speak in response to a question
• listen, then speak in response to a question
• read, listen, then write in response to a question

These new questions measure the ability to use English to communicate effectively and succeed in an English-speaking academic environment.
