good guide to toefl

Its a good book if you are looking for something to encourage you. but if you are really weak in English then go for something else. This book is more like an information guide to TOEFL.

i'm glad

I'm glad from the service. the shipping took a lot of time (since I ordered by normal shipping) but it came earlier than I expected.

So-so

You may throw off about 200 pages of this book, because this information is available free of charge on the official TOEFL web-site (tips for TOEFL). Furthermore, every person registered for the test gets a sampler free of charge. In this book this sampler is given for practice exercises. Overall, the book just describes what the test it and doesn't give any strategy. The software of the disk leaves much to be desired and there are mistakes in the answers. The advantage of the book is that it is official and authentic.

Doesn't teach HOW

I've been teaching TOEFL preparation classes with this book, and for that it is TERRIBLE. There aren't enough examples, and there's no practical or useful advise on HOW to take the test. Most of the book is just text describing the test question, a lot of which is stuff you would figure out on your own by simply looking at the test. Other books actually offer practice and exercises. There are NO exercises in this book outside of a few sample questions, and there are only three examples of each speaking task altogether. Several pages of writing topics, but barely any advise on how to actually write the thing.

Don't waste the money because it's "official."

Good overview book

It is good enough for overviewing what the iBT is. I have been living in North America for over 10 years, I need this book just for a guide to prepare the test. If you are looking for a book to study, may not be a good choice. Since the real test seemed a little bit harder than the book, at least my test was. (took on Jan.16, 2010)
