 Rating:  - Ok if your English is pretty goodThis is the only item you should buy if you feel confident about taking the CBT TOEFL test, that is your English is already pretty good. The GUI is the same as test day so at least there is no suprise. I could not get the program to work under WIN98 SE, the sound would not come on.

I'm going to have to let BBB know about this complaint and let the rest of the aspirants know the mediocre quality of your product. They must have real professionals devolop these kind of products. I'm a software professional too, ... Read More Rating: - If you don't have any more, this would be helpfulI expect more, especially when it comes from ETS. The excercise from the book were not helpfull at all and there are only a few tests. But, as I say if you don't have anything else this could give a realistic idea of the test.
