Kaplan TOEFL IBT [With 3 CDROMs]

The Kaplan TOEFL iBT helped me to score high in the TOEFL exam. The book has 8 chapter, each one with 50 pages on average, and 4 mock tests in an extra CD-ROM. I believe that if you work hard on this book for 2/3 weeks, you'll have a great chance of suceeding the exam. The book gives you a detailed information about what to expect on the test day and you can notice your improvements as you go through the 8 chapters. I highly recommend this book.

This is the one and only book you need to take the TOEFL IBT if you already have an intermediate or advanced English Level. It contains a CD-ROM with 4 complete practice tests (very similar to the real one). It also has the sample answers of the Speaking Practice. I used it two weeks before taking the test for he first time for and I got 115 out of 120. Great Book! Very useful :)

This book was an excellent guide in teaching how to master in the exam. When I went to take the exam, I had no surprises at all. Instead, I was ready for any kind of questions, ideas, tricks, and most importantly; very comfortable with the layout of the exam software. The book's accompanying CD has Complete FULL sample exams with their model answer key (including answers to the Oral Section, as well as the Written Section). For those who do not have much time to study for their TOEFL exam, please do not worry. In less than 10 days, I was able to finish the whole book with reading periods of 3 to 4 hours per day. The book has very simple to understand English language; yet it presents a strong structure in their flow of sentences. Another main advantage of the book is that it is divided to 8 chapters; each chapter introducing various questions in different theme: Technology, History, Nature...etc. Studying the first four chapters allows you to be more than ready for the exam as they introduce all the question types. The latter four chapters repeat the same question types but in different themes - which really broadens your knowledge to different words that you may expect on the exam. I still did not get my TOEFL score yet, but I am more than certain that if it would be disappointing, it would be for some reason other than this book. You will not regret buying this book.

This was the only book I used for TOEFL. I studied this book for just 3 weeks, and managed a score of 112/120. It comes with two CDs, one CD has the study material and the other one has 4 practice tests. The way the book is written is excellent. It covers what is tested in TOEFL in one chapter and it repeats it in the rest of the chapters, but with different topics. The diversity of topics definitely helped me to prepare well for the exam. The practice tests are the icing on the cake. Take all the four exams and it gives you a pretty good picture of what you can expect in the real TOEFL. Also register and take the free TOEFL on ETS website.

Decent book with good strategies, study plan and practice tests. Ideal for people who are planning to take exam with just 5-6 weeks of preparation. I beg to differ from the opinion expressed by other reviewers. Unlike them, I didn't find the book to be very sloppy. Infact this was the first TOEFL material I used and I was able to get the big picture of the TOEFL test by reading this book. I was able to score 108/120 although I did use another book. Unlike other books, it is a complete material where no additional purchases ( audio CDs etc.) are required. Overall, real value for money.
