Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - TOEFL Books Summary
I've taken the TOEFL CBT, and got a reasonable grade of 283. Here are the book I've used, from the most important to the least one, and what I did with each one, based on other readers' reviews:
1. CliffsTestPrep TOEFL CBT:
Excellent structure section. Good Reading strategies - but for the structure part (word forms) rather then for the Reading part of the test!
It's also one of the cheapest books available.
2. Cambridge Preparation For The TOEFL Test:
Great Reading ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - GREAT BOOK
This book was very helpful to me when I had to prepare for the TOEFL test, the only thing that this book needs is some CBT practice tests.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The best book available

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A good practice tests book to work for TOEFL
This book was helpful for practice. It has a lot of exercises that let you get closer to the high score of TOEFL. As the saying goes "Practice makes it perfect".

In the end I find that in short ammount of time, I couldn't read and memorize all the patterns explain in Barron's. So about one or more weeks before the test I switch to this book.

This book is quite simple. The writer give you a brief explanation on how to attack some questions, then give you some exercises ... Read More
