ABOUT THIS BOOK

Perfect study guide...
~ Written on Nov 4, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

i bought this book for my 2009 TOEFL IBT and after studying it and following its strategies, i was convinced that i was well prepared for the test, studied for 5weeks and got 100 out of 120. Now basically if you are expecting this book to teach you English language and grammar completely, you are mistaken, this is just a guide on how to excel on the test, a perfect one i must say, your general performance on a language is based on lifetime practice; constant reading, writing and speaking the language, but regarding the test, this is a blueprint on how to pass the TOEFL IBT.

We should be ashamed
~ Written on Jun 23, 2009. 2 out of 4 users found this review helpful.

The practice exams and instruction were good, but they should be ashamed for presenting a left-wing, anti-american, global warming slant to almost all of the lectures and reading material. Good way to start indoctrinating young people before they have a good grasp of English. Despite all of that, my students did well on the TOEFL exam.

Useful Book

This is a good book. It has a superb writing and speaking section. The reading passages are on the easy side. The listening section is a little bit weak because it is not enough. But it is a fairly complete preparation book.

Really good book

This book was the only resource that I studied before taking the TOEFL. I did not take private lessons, and tanks to this book I could pass the test in only one attempt. If you have enough time to study and practice what the book teaches, do not worry you are going to pass.
I applied all the tecniques that the book teaches and really help, specially in reading and listening part. Speaking and writing was a little hard to me, so I needed to practice a little more, but a got 95. A score of 95 studying only this book is good. Don't you think? Also, I have to encourage that you have to read a lot, newsweek, time,discovery magazines. Whatch CNN is good for vocabulary.
Practice, practice, practice, if you do not have time for this, this is not the book for you.

A good strategy book, but not for beginners
~ Written on Aug 29, 2008. 10 out of 10 users found this review helpful.

I highly recommend this book for intermediate users who are already familiar with English usage but are looking for a quick review to familiarize themselves with the test format. Every test has its own strategy and so does iBT, which is very different from the PBT or CBT.

This book delivers the best 'strategies' to crack each part of TOEFL iBT. The strategies are very easy to understand and are very practical. I spent two days studying this book (and only this book), and received a satisfying score of 110 (out of 120). However, this book will NOT teach you so much about the basic knowledge for English grammar, structural writings, vocabs, etc. So if you need help in these fields, I'd recommend buying other books to complement your study. Good luck for the test!
