Is the TOEFL iBT Home Edition strict about room setup?

Yes it is. You need a quiet private space. Proctors watch via camera the whole time. Multiple doors or balcony access can raise questions. Reddit users advise showing the entire room at check-in. Clear your desk completely. Follow rules or risk cancellation.

How does the new 2026 TOEFL scoring and curving system work?

It uses a 1 to 6 band scale now. Half points apply like 4.5. The overall score averages your four sections. Reports still show the old 0-120 number too for some time. Check your official score sheet carefully.

Official ETS practice tests work best. Free ones on the TOEFL website match the real exam closely. Test takers recommend TOEFL Question Bank and some paid apps for speaking feedback. Combine them with YouTube tips. Avoid random books. Consistent practice beats everything else.

How hard is the TOEFL if I already speak English pretty well?

It can still catch you off guard. Daily conversation differs from the academic format. TOEFL test takers often say reading and listening sections feel tough under time pressure. Practice full tests helps a lot. Many fluent speakers score lower than expected at first. Do not skip mocks.

Some UK visa routes demand Secure English Language Tests like IELTS UKVI. Certain programs in France or Italy stick to their own tests or IELTS. Very few outright reject TOEFL though. If a country uses TOEFL less, it is usually because IELTS dominates locally. Research your target university early.

Yes in most cases. Canada accepts TOEFL for study permits. Australia recognizes it for student visas. The UK allows TOEFL iBT for certain visa types but prefers IELTS for others. New Zealand and Ireland usually accept it too. Immigration offices set their own minimum scores.
