Summary: Question ?
Review: Does the CD rom include listening test ? As the book states that there are 8 model tests, so i suppose there should be listening audio included in the CD rom .

Summary: If you can buy *only* one book, this is the one!
Review: I am a professional TOEFL prep instructor. Here is my review:

If you can only buy one book, this is the one.

However, I would *not* recommend that you buy only this book--it is not enough. You need to buy at least two other titles as well--the official "TOEFL Kit" and the "PowerPrep TOEFL" software.

First, this book does NOT have a computer test. Instead, it has some questions in the book that simulate the computer questions. Half of the tests are written for people who have to take the paper test, the other half are for people who have to take the computer test.

If you can only buy one book, you need a review of grammar and other sections of the test, and you want some practice tests, this book is your best choice. It has a lot of grammar explanations and lots of practice questions.

So, it is a great value--the price is low, and you get a lot of questions.

However, the book is not perfect. Some of the questions are old, and you will not see those types on the

TOEFL anymore. Furthermore, many of the questions are easier than the real TOEFL, especially the reading sections. Many of my students have said that the reading section is very, very hard and that they were not prepared for the real TOEFL when they took it.

In short, if you can only buy one book, this one is okay, but you really should buy official TOEFL materials so that you will be ready for the real test when you take it.

Summary: Good examples and helpful hints
Review: I bought this book after i failed to get the score i needed in the TOEFL exam, and it helped me a lot at the second time I did the test. The best part about it is the CD-ROM that has 4 complete tests so you can practice just like if you were doing the real Computer Based TOEFL Test. It helps you to get in the mood of the test so you are prepared when you take the real test. There is only one thing that should be enhanced in this book. The review and hints at the "writing test part" are not enough. There should be more essay examples. Over all, this is the book you have to buy if you are planning to pay just for one book to prepare for the TOEFL

Summary: Excellent book!!
Review: I bought this book because it has received so many great reviews. I'm very grateful to those who wrote the reviews. This book is excellent in providing organized explanations and toefl-standard tests. The model tests are really great exercises. The CD-ROM has a good quality. There is only one weakness, I think. I wish the writing review section has more detailed guidelines and different kinds of essay examples. Overall, I strongly recommend this book!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very good but have some problem with CD-ROM
Review: I think this book is excellent especially with model tests. However, this book also have some problems with model tests, that is, Model tests on the book and on the CD-ROM is different for Model tests 1-4. There is no problem with Model test 5-8, which helps me much anyway. I heard new CD-ROM will be published this July.
