Great News!
Barron’s TOEFL iBT 17th Edition is still your best choice for TOEFL preparation for the new TOEFL format. The changes that you will see on the official TOEFL test provide a shorter test experience, but the longer Model Tests our book gives you the same test prompts and questions for the Reading, Listening, and Speaking sections. The Writing section on the new TOEFL includes a new question, which you will find in Barron’s TOEFL iBT 18th Edition. Watch for the release of the 18th Edition in April 2024.
