Free TOEFL Reading practice test (2026 format)
Practise the new TOEFL Reading section with 20 full-length tests. Each one has 50 questions across two timed modules, a second module that adapts to your score, and a full answer review with explanations.
What each practice test includes
- Module 1 (20 minutes): 20 Complete the Words items, 2 Read in Daily Life texts and 1 academic passage.
- Module 2 (9 minutes): easier or harder depending on your Module 1 score, just like the real adaptive test.
- Results: an estimated 1–6 band, your score for each task type, and a review of every question with the correct answer and an explanation.
The 20 numbered tests never share a question, so you can take all of them without seeing a repeat. A "Random mix" option builds a new test each time.
Reading task types and how to approach them
Complete the Words
This task makes up more than half of the Reading section. Read the whole sentence before typing, because the right word form (plural, past tense, adjective or noun) depends on the grammar around the gap. See our Complete the Words guide with a worked example.
Read in Daily Life
Short texts such as notices, emails, ads, schedules and group chats. Questions ask about the purpose, a detail, what someone means, or what a person will probably do next. Read the question first, then scan for the part of the text that answers it.
Read an Academic Passage
A short textbook-style passage with five questions: vocabulary in context, detail, "all of the following EXCEPT", inference, and choosing where a new sentence fits best. For the insert-sentence question, look for linking words and pronouns (this, however, as a result) that must connect to the sentence before.
Timing tips
- Spend about 6–7 minutes on Complete the Words in Module 1, leaving the rest for the reading texts.
- Do not get stuck on one gap: guess, move on, and come back with Back if time allows.
- Your Module 1 score decides Module 2, so accuracy early on matters most.
Frequently asked questions
Are these TOEFL Reading practice tests free?
Yes. All 20 Reading tests are completely free with no sign-up.
Is the practice test adaptive like the real TOEFL?
Yes. If you score 60% or more in Module 1 you get the harder Module 2; otherwise you get the easier one.
How accurate is the band score?
It is an estimate based on your percentage correct and which Module 2 you reached. Use it to track progress, not as an official score.
