Pass the TOEFL iBT
Most TOEFL iBT prep fills you up with more content. More chapters, more flashcards, more practice questions that look nothing like the real thing. You come out knowing a lot and still at risk of failing.
Built To Pass starts somewhere different. It teaches how the TOEFL iBT is actually built, so you stop losing points on material you already know.
To be clear, this is not a TOEFL iBT content course, and it is not trying to be. It teaches the strategy that sits on top of whatever you study. And you are not left to figure it out alone: inside the course you build your own TOEFL iBT study materials as you work through the assignments with your AI Test Coach, so everything you make is specific to your exam.

Where the TOEFL iBT is won
Scout it before you study. The TOEFL iBT is really 4 separate subtests, each scored on its own. Clear one and you can still be sent back for the other, so treat them as two targets, not one test.
On the Reading subtest, Academic Passage Comprehension carries the most weight at about 60%, with Vocabulary & Everyday Reading at 40%. That is where the points live, so weight your prep the same way instead of splitting your time evenly.
On the Listening subtest, Announcements & Academic Listening carries the most weight at about 55%, with Everyday & Conversational Listening at 45%. That is where the points live, so weight your prep the same way instead of splitting your time evenly.
On the Speaking subtest, Take an Interview carries the most weight at about 60%, with Listen and Repeat at 40%. That is where the points live, so weight your prep the same way instead of splitting your time evenly.
On the Writing subtest, Writing for an Academic Discussion carries the most weight at about 55%, with Sentence & Email Writing at 45%. That is where the points live, so weight your prep the same way instead of splitting your time evenly.
Your AI Test Coach
Build your own TOEFL iBT study materials
Your course comes with an AI Test Coach trained to help you prep for the TOEFL iBT. Ask it to build practice questions, explain a concept you keep missing, or turn your weak spots into a custom study set made for your exam.
This is not a generic chatbot. We set the parameters and build the Built To Pass test-taking strategy right into it, so every question, hint, and study set follows the same system you are learning in the course, tuned to the TOEFL iBT. You get what actually moves your score, not random AI output.
It doesn’t hand you answers. It coaches you through them, so every session turns what you know into points on game day.
