Cambridge Play vs TOEFLMock

Cambridge Play is a study platform for Cambridge English exam preparation, with practice for B1 Preliminary, B2 First, C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency. Learners work on Use of English, Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking. Writing activities return a score and feedback on strengths, areas to improve, grammar and language, plus suggestions for strengthening an answer. For speaking, learners record responses to exam prompts and receive a score. Game elements include hearts, daily streaks, streak shields, experience points, gifts, badges and challenge leaderboards. Free play starts with five hearts, replenished one every 90 minutes; free Writing and Speaking practice covers the first five stages of each level. The Free plan is free. PRO costs $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year, adding unlimited hearts, access to all Writing and Speaking stages, a weekly streak shield, unlimited gifts, higher AI limits and premium feedback. Cambridge Play is intended for learners aged 16 and over and identifies itself as independent of Cambridge University Press and Assessment.

TOEFLMock provides TOEFL iBT practice aligned with the January 2026 format, with full mock exams and practice for individual sections. Its library is described as 20 full-length exams and 80 section tests. Reading and Listening tests use two-module routing, with performance in the first module determining the next one. Scores use a 1–6 band scale, map to CEFR levels and can also be converted to the legacy 0–120 scale. Speaking and Writing responses receive rubric-based scores, explanations tied to rubric criteria and three suggested improvements. The maker says feedback typically arrives within 30 minutes, though waits can be longer during exam peak weeks. A personal dashboard tracks section weaknesses, band trends, expert feedback and mistakes to review. Paid plans add a 45-lesson course, 1,000 practice questions across 10 task types and 1,500 speaking questions across three tracks. Institute plans include student monitoring, assigned tests and cohort analytics. Practice runs in modern browsers on phones, tablets, Chromebooks, laptops and desktops without app installation. The service is independent and its scores are practice estimates, not official ETS scores.
