Test of English as a Foreign Language

TOEFL flashcards

The TOEFL iBT tests academic English across Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing and is scored 0 to 120, and since its 2023 update it runs under two hours. A deep, flexible vocabulary lifts your score in all four sections — it's what lets you parse dense passages quickly and produce precise answers under time. Recognition on the page isn't enough on the productive sections; you need words in active recall. Flashcards are the classic way to build that.

Cram turns word lists or your own TOEFL notes into vocabulary flashcards automatically, then uses spaced repetition so academic words move into active memory you can use in Speaking and Writing, not just recognize on the page. Each word returns right before you'd forget it, turning a long list into productive vocabulary you can deploy under time. Set your test date and watch the countdown close in, and decks work offline with no ads or lockouts.
