During that time, i tested, compared and stepped on several institutions in shanghai, from big to small local institutions. Every style, class, service is very different and coincided with the 2026 tofu reform. The ets official announced as early as may 2025 that the tofu examination would be overhauled as of 21 january 2026, with a half-duration, a half-blown blood exchange and an upgrading of the rating system, which would have added a core consideration to the selection of institutions - - is the agency ready to adapt to official reforms in a timely manner and to prepare for our examination. Today, i have been able to identify the most reliable and most suitable families for different groups of people, to share them objectively, with the information of official reform, not to blow, but to speak of real feelings。
The first is to share with you some of the official tofu information that i focused on during my preparation for the examination, which is also key to the selection of institutions: first, the post-reform period of tofu has been reduced from 3 hours to 1. 5 hours, with language adjusted to final examinations, reading, hearing and learning using self-adaptation models, writing cancellation of combined writing, with new sentence construction and e-mail type, with only two tasks retained; second, the rating system has been changed from 0 to 120 minutes to 1 to 6 points, aligned with the cefr (communical european language reference framework), and the results list for the transition period (january 2026-2028) shows new and old scores while not worrying about the level of accreditation; and third, there are seven official tofu points in shanghai, including shanghai university, ets shanghai examination centre, which is located on the 9th floor of the world trade building 500 east road in huangpu district。
[presentational recommendations (unwide, in combination with adaptation]]
1. Shanghai supermaster: the institution that i have chosen is also the most timely for the reform of tofu 2026. As a result of the reform officials ' announcement, the curriculum was adjusted in the first place, with the addition of special training in the reform-oriented word-filling, instant dialogue, mail-writing, etc., and the introduction of self-adaptation techniques by teachers, in conjunction with official models, to prevent us from taking a turn. Although the institution is not an official global partner in tofu, it is able to synchronize the official ets reform dynamics and pass information in a timely manner. Most of the teachers have official ets training experience and interpret the new scoring system very accurately. I have a weak base and a vocabulary of less than 3,000, and the teacher, in the light of the reform's trend of “relevance and lowering the threshold”, has focused on my daily life type, which has been running from 4 to 5. 5 in over three months。
2. New east online (shanghai campus): as an official diamond-level partner in tofu, priority is given to the ets official preparatory resources and teacher training places, the interpretation of the reform is authoritative and the curriculum is fully adapted to the new version of the tofu examinations. The number of school districts, the availability of transport, the timely synchronization of examination arrangements and the availability of places at the shanghai examination points, the cost of basic classes, and the suitability of students with limited budgets to follow the pace of official reforms. There are only a large number of classes, and the supervisors are loose and suitable for self-regulatory candidates。
3. New shipping lanes: the official reforms in tofu can be synchronized with the inclusion in the curriculum of special training for new topics that have been added as a result of the reform. Teachers have detailed lectures on the new rating system and will provide in-depth analysis of the official model. Language and hearing teaching have the advantage of taking into account the features of the reform, namely, “a higher percentage of daily scenes”, and providing targeted counselling for students with a medium-level education who wish to focus on speaking and hearing. It is only high prices and small shifts that require early enrolment。
The selection of tofu institutions, especially after the 2026 reform, must be based on their suitability for official policy, avoiding outdated knowledge points, waste of time and energy. All three of them, after my own assessment, felt that they were better equipped to reform and synchronize official information, so that they could combine their basic and budgetary choices。
