Beginning in January 2026, ETS will introduce a multistage adaptive format for the Reading and Listening sections, allowing the test to adjust in real time based on a student's performance. Traditional content will also be updated with more relevant and culturally accessible material to better reflect how English is used in academic settings.

To help institutions and students interpret results more easily, TOEFL will also begin in January reporting scores on the new 1-6 scale aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, in addition to the traditional 0-120 scale.
