The speaking section of the iBT TOEFL® consists of six parts, each with its own unique task to perform. Generally, these tasks are described as being independent or integrated in nature. Independent tasks require more in the way of descriptions and references to personal experiences, or personal preferences and opinions. Integrated tasks involve exposure to 1 or 2 content sources in reading and listening format, and generally focus on comprehension and reporting skills. All six tasks are delivered in an online format, with strict timing frameworks and responses recorded through a microphone directly over the Internet.

There are many ways to prepare for the speaking section of the iBT TOEFL. Probably the first crucial step is to get a solid idea of what the questions focus on, how they are delivered, what kinds of responses they require, the strategies that can be employed to handle them (first) and then strategies for helping to excel at them.
