Delta's Key to the TOEFL Test (Book and CD-Rom Edition)

Rating:
Summary: The Best
Review: This is the best CD-Rom for CBT TOEFL I ever had. It corrects and scores the test itself. It saves you lots of time in correcting the answers and calculating the scores yourself through page by page. If you are going to take CBT TOEFL test, buy this one. You can practice the tests timed or untimed. You can save the unfinished tests for later. I really highly recommend it.

Summary: Best prep book for the TOEFL
Review: This is the most complete up-to-date preparation book for the new TOEFL Computer Based Test, in fact, it has all the information that you need about the new questions in the CBT. I have the chance to study with Barron's, Peterson's and the Preparation Kit frome ETS, but this prep book is far away from any other I have seen, it is written for the CBT!. It has a lot of practice exercises alike the ones in the TOEFL in 54 units covering Listening, Structure, Reading and Writing. I found very helpful the diagnostic test at the beginning of the book, the 32 quizes and the charts for recording your progress, the thorough description of all the skills that are tested in the TOEFL but above all the friendly approach that makes you feel confortable studying with this book. It comes with 5 cassetes that gives the chance to practice all the type of questions that appear in the tricky Listening section. Of course it takes time, at least two months for using all the material covered in this book. It has four practice tests, but if you want more practice tests it would be recomendable to use it along with the official practice tests of ETS, specially those that comes with the POWERPREP.

Review: Two reader reviews state the cassettes came with the book. My wife bought the Book/CD edition thinking she was buying a complete study package, where the only difference between the CD and cassette versions was the format of the audio. Surprise. What the web page does not state is the cassettes contain the audio necessary for the listening section of this book. The cassettes are sold seperately from the Book/CD package. The CD is for the CBT.

Summary: Delta's Key offers readers the features they want.
Review: When Delta Publishing and I set out to create this book, we began by asking instructors what they wanted to see in a TOEFL prep book that they had not seen in any other. They said they wanted a book that focused on questions that appear on the TOEFL, with a lot of material to choose from, discussion of tricks students need to know, and activities to build communicative skills--all delivered in a reader-friendly format. We have tried in our course book to give our users what they want. The book contains four full-length practice tests, 32 quizzes, and 2,300 TOEFL questions--enough material for up to 20 weeks of study. Both the computer-based test and the paper-based test are covered. Special features include interactive activities to extend skill practice, complete answer key and tapescript, and charts to monitor progress on all quizzes and tests.
