TOEFL iBT

Your Direct Path to Top University in the USA, Canada, and Beyond

The TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is the most widely respected English proficiency test for academic purposes. Accepted by 13,000+ institutions in over 160 countries, it is the preferred choice for 9 out of 10 universities in the United States.

At Gyanvarsha English Hub, we have fully updated our coaching for the New 2026 Adaptive Format, which has shortened the test to just 90 minutes, making it the most efficient way to prove your English skills.


Inside the 2026 Adaptive TOEFL iBT

The new version of the test uses Multi-Stage Adaptive Testing, meaning the exam adjusts its difficulty based on your performance to give you a more accurate score in less time.


1. Reading: Academic Precision (18-27 Minutes)

~ The Strategy: We teach you Skimming and Scanning techniques to handle the new adaptive modules. Whether you get the "Academic" or "Daily Life" module, we ensure you can identify main ideas and vocabulary in context quickly.


2. Listening: Campus Life (18-27 Minutes)

~ Our Method: Since you only hear the audio once, we provide a specialized Shorthand Note-Taking System. We train you to catch the speaker's purpose, tone, and specific details across various North American accents.


3. Speaking: Integrated Communication (~8 Minutes)

The Speaking section is now shorter and focuses on Spontaneous Interaction.

~ The Training: You will practice speaking into a microphone, just like the real test. We focus on Integrated Tasks - where you read a text, listen to a lecture, and then speak about them - mimicking a real university seminar.


4. Writing: Functional & Academic (~23 Minutes)

The old "Independent Essay" has been replaced by more modern, functional tasks.

~ New Task: Writing for an Academic Discussion: You'll contribute to an online class discussion, requiring you to state and support an opinion clearly and concisely.

~ Our Edge: We provide templates for Campus Emails and Announcements, focusing on quality over quantity to satisfy the 2026 scoring criteria.
