If you're planning to take the TOEFL, better for the TOEFL iBT because it already integrates all the test parts--reading, writing, speaking and writing.
In the reading part, you'll be reading a couple of passages and then answering questions about them. It's the same for listening, where you'll listen to a talk, or a classroom discussion, or a conversation between two people, and then answering questions. I think, though I'm not sure, you'll get about 60 minutes for each of these parts.
The speaking part gets a bit tricky because you'll listen to a lecture or a conversation and then you'll be asked to summarize and give your opinion. Here, you will also be asked about your thoughts on everyday things like, "Describe how birthdays are celebrated in your country" and things like that.
The same format is followed in the writing part, except of course, you'll be using a computer to write down your answers. Typically you'll need to write 200-300 word essays. An example of a possible topic is, "Which world leader do you admire most and why?".

Would just like to ask format of Toefl exam. I took it last year, unfortunately I failed. Is it the same this time where you will write an essay or you need to type it directly to the computer? Is it ok if I ask for the different parts so that I could compare it to what I had last year. Thanks very much
