What you'll practice
The speaking section as it has run since January 2026: seven Listen and Repeat sentences that get longer, then four interview questions on one everyday topic, about 45 seconds per answer, with no preparation time.
- Repeat sentences exactly, including small words and endings
- Start interview answers at once, with no preparation time
- Fill about 45 seconds with a clear, developed answer
What Co-Star evaluates
- Accuracy of repeated sentences
- Fluency and organization of interview answers
- Pronunciation and intelligibility
Review focus: Review Listen and Repeat accuracy (quote dropped or changed words) and interview fluency and organization separately. Give no official TOEFL score.
Who Co-Star plays
A TOEFL-style test voice that runs the two 2026 speaking tasks in order, reads each sentence once at a natural pace, and asks interview questions without commenting on answers.
How it starts
Co-Star explains the format in one sentence: seven sentences to repeat, then four interview questions. Then it says the first short sentence once, with no replay.
What you'll leave with
- Knowing which words you drop when repeating
- A simple structure for a 45-second answer
