5.0 out of 5 stars The best practice tool., April 22, 2003

By 

Nazim Habibov (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Delta's Key to the TOEFL Test (Book & Cassettes) (Audio Cassette)

A lot of practice. There are ten tests on CD Rom. Tests are very close to the real exam.In terms of practice it is the best book on the market. Be careful, do not forget to buy book with cassets and CD Rom. CD Rom has the tests all in the same computer format as the real test. Cassets have listening material for Listening Comprehansion part of the book. So you will need both CD Rom and cassets.
However, essay section in Cambridge Preparation for Toefl Test is certainly better.
In addition, for grammar section you may wish to buy Cliff's Toefl. Cliff's Toefl has better grammar review especially for those who are afraid of grammar in the test. After Cliff's Toefl you will more confident not only in Toefl grammar but also in English grammar as a whole. Cliff's Toefl also has 6 full lenght practice tests.
Therefore, if you want to save money just buy only CD Rom of Delat without book and cassetts for practicing and buy Cliff's Toefl for Grammar and Essay sections.

3.0 out of 5 stars YOU MUST BUY THE AUDIO-CASSETTES, October 20, 2004

By 

Ivano Benedetti "Ivano" (Italy) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Delta's Key to the TOEFL Test (Book and CD-Rom Edition) (Paperback)

The book is very well-organized and offers a lot of practice. It is probably one of the best textbooks for TOEFL preparation.

It could have been rated 5-STARS but I rated it only 3-STARS because it should be clearly said that the AUDIO-CASSETTES are fundamental for the listening preparation and that the CD-ROM doesn't contain the same listening material. I bought the CD-ROM package and I have not audio material for the paper-based test.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, March 29, 2002

By 

Blobfish "C. L." (Pasaden, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Delta's Key to the TOEFL Test CD-ROM (CD-ROM)

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.
