Comment fonctionne ce test

Les questions reprennent les exercices du nouveau TOEFL iBT :

  • des questions à choix sur la grammaire et le vocabulaire universitaires, des messages de la vie quotidienne (un mail, une affiche sur le campus) et de courts extraits de textes académiques ;
  • deux textes où des mots ont perdu leurs dernières lettres, à compléter au clavier, comme dans l’exercice « Complete the Words » ;
  • des phrases à remettre dans l’ordre en cliquant sur les mots, comme dans « Build a Sentence » ;
  • des affirmations à juger vraies ou fausses d’après un court texte.

Elles vont du niveau A2 au niveau C2. Chaque mot à compléter compte pour un point. À la fin, vous voyez votre score, votre niveau et l’explication de chaque erreur.

Le test ne mesure ni l’écoute, ni l’oral, ni la rédaction, que le vrai TOEFL évalue aussi. Il donne une estimation, pas une note officielle.

De votre niveau à la note du TOEFL

Depuis le 21 janvier 2026, le TOEFL iBT est noté de 1 à 6, par demi-points, et chaque note correspond à un niveau du cadre européen (CECRL) :

Note TOEFLNiveau CECRL
6C2
5 à 5,5C1
4 à 4,5B2
3 à 3,5B1

Pendant deux ans, le relevé de notes indique aussi l’équivalent sur l’ancienne échelle de 0 à 120, encore utilisée par beaucoup d’universités : selon ETS, une note de 4 correspond à 72 et plus, une note de 5 à 95 et plus. Il n’existe pas de note éliminatoire. Chaque établissement fixe son seuil, souvent B2 pour un échange et C1 pour un master sélectif.

S’entraîner pour le TOEFL

Votre résultat vous dit sur quoi porter l’effort :

  • sous B2, travaillez d’abord la grammaire et la lecture de textes courts, puis l’écoute de cours ou de podcasts en anglais ;
  • à partir de B2, entraînez-vous sur les quatre épreuves, en particulier l’expression écrite et orale, que ce test ne mesure pas ;
  • avant l’examen, passez au moins un test blanc complet dans les conditions réelles.

ETS, qui organise le TOEFL, met en ligne gratuitement des tests d’entraînement et des exemples de questions du nouveau format sur sa page de préparation. Pour tout savoir sur l’examen lui-même, lisez qu’est-ce que le TOEFL, et comparez-le au TOEIC, à l’IELTS ou au Cambridge dans la rubrique tests de langue.
