Question 1

What is PrepCozy?

Accepted Answer

PrepCozy is an AI-powered TOEFL practice platform. You can take full mock exams or section-based drills and get instant AI feedback, 1–6 score estimates, and clear next-step guidance across all four sections — Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. PrepCozy is an independent prep tool and is not affiliated with ETS, the maker of the official TOEFL.

Question 2

Which sections does PrepCozy give feedback on?

Accepted Answer

All four. Speaking and Writing responses are graded by AI for content, structure, and language, while Reading and Listening are practiced with instant scoring aligned to the 2026 format.

Question 3

What languages is PrepCozy available in?

Accepted Answer

PrepCozy's interface is available in 12 languages, including English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, and Azerbaijani.

Question 4

Is PrepCozy free? How much can I do for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every account gets 15 AI credits at sign-up, plus 10 more after you answer the five onboarding questions. Credits are only used for Speaking and Writing AI feedback. Reading and Listening practice is free and unlimited.

Question 5

How much do paid plans cost, and what is an AI credit?

Accepted Answer

PrepCozy runs on AI credits, which are spent when the AI grades a Speaking or Writing response (about 1–2 credits each); Reading and Listening practice doesn't require credits. Paid plans top up your credit balance.

Question 6

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Refunds follow our published policy, which explains the conditions and how to request one.

Question 7

What's the difference between full mock exams and section drills?

Accepted Answer

Full mock exams simulate a complete 2026 TOEFL under realistic timing and the adaptive (MST) format, giving you an overall 1–6 estimate. Section drills let you focus on a single section to target a specific weakness. Most students alternate — drills to build skills, mocks to check readiness.

Question 8

What does the Sample Report show?

Accepted Answer

The Sample Report is a full, interactive example of PrepCozy's AI feedback — section scores on the 1–6 scale, strengths and weaknesses, and specific next-step suggestions.

Question 9

What changed in the 2026 TOEFL?

Accepted Answer

The 2026 TOEFL iBT moves to a 1–6 score scale (replacing 0–120), makes Reading and Listening multistage-adaptive (MST), shortens the overall test, and adds new task types such as a short email in Writing and follow-up questions in Speaking.

Question 10

How does the new 1–6 score scale work?

Accepted Answer

Each of the four sections is scored from 1 to 6 in 0.5 increments, and your overall score is the average of the four section scores. For admissions, roughly B2 — about 4.0 — remains a common benchmark.

Question 11

How does the 1–6 scale map to CEFR levels?

Accepted Answer

On the 2026 scale, 6 aligns with CEFR C2, 5 to 5.5 with C1, 4 to 4.5 with B2, 3 to 3.5 with B1, 2 to 2.5 with A2, and 1 to 1.5 with A1.

Question 12

Which sections are adaptive (MST), and what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Reading and Listening are multistage adaptive: your performance on the first stage sets the difficulty of the next, so early questions carry extra weight. Speaking and Writing stay fixed and are not adaptive.

Question 13

How long is the 2026 TOEFL and how many questions are there?

Accepted Answer

The four scored sections take about 90 minutes. ETS recommends allowing about two hours for the full test experience, including directions. Exact timing and item counts vary because Reading and Listening are adaptive.

Question 14

What new task types appear in each section?

Accepted Answer

Reading adds a "Complete the Words" style task; Writing adds an Academic Discussion task plus a short 7-minute email; Speaking adds follow-up questions; and Listening includes choosing the best response, conversations, announcements, and academic talks.

Question 15

What did early 2026 test-takers report?

Accepted Answer

Early January 2026 test-takers described a test that is shorter but denser — tighter, more abstract Reading themes, a 7-minute Writing email, Speaking prompts with follow-up questions, and higher-stakes Listening that rewards tracking a talk's overall structure.

Question 16

How should I prepare for the adaptive format?

Accepted Answer

Protect the opening of the adaptive Reading and Listening sections, because early accuracy raises your difficulty path. Build vocabulary to the spelling level, read practical English every day, and practice reactive speaking so you can handle follow-up questions in real time.
