Customer Reviews

Good book, but easier than real test
The book is fine, however test samples are easier than real one. Especially for Reading part, I think texts in the book are shorter and more interesting. Also, I felt that in Listening part, pronounciation in real test was less clear, especially of key issues. Maybe 4.5 stars

good book
good book, but the actual exam is a lot harder and longer than the ones in the book

Standard Solution

I took Toefl couple of years ago and I didn't wanna study again , however I was not familiar with the new IBT format of the test. This book gave me a quick overview of the new IBT format . Sample questions are really close to actual exam ( I took the real exam couple of days ago). Software in the CD in also exactly what they use for real exam and it gives you experience of real exam day. I recommend this book to those people who wanna know about the format and level of difficulty of standard Toefl.
