What is the new pattern for TOEFL?
-
I read the pattern for TOEFL changed last year. I want to know what the new test pattern is and how the reduced exam time could affect my scores.

Here's the new TOEFL pattern-
Reading (54–72 minutes)
30–40 questions Read passages and respond to questions
Listening (41–57 minutes)
28–39 questions Answer questions about brief lectures or classroom discussions
Speaking (17 minutes)
4 tasks Talk about a familiar topic and discuss material you read and listened to
Writing (50 minutes)
2 tasks Read a passage, listen to a recording, type your responseThe test time has been reduced. But so have the number of questions. So, it should not affect your scores in any manner.
