3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but "incomplete", August 24, 2007

This review is from: Longman Preparation Series for the New TOEIC® Test: Advanced Course (with Answer Key), with Audio CD and Audioscript (4th Edition) (Paperback)

I received the product in a reasonably timely manner and gave it to my wife to prepare for her TOEIC test. All was going well, until she got to the practice tests. I don't recall seeing anywhere that you had to buy the audio CDs separately. It comes with one, but that only covers the pre-practice test, or whatever its called. On top of that, I have been unable to find any retailer that sells the Complete Audio kit from within the US. My wife said its a good book, but should really include the audio for ALL of the practice tests. Yeah, I could read the audioscript to her, but we thought the whole point of having an audio CD included was so that she could listen to that, and not me.

Overall, not a bad book, but again, should include all of the audio on the CD(s).

I bought this book as well. This book may be good but there is no all audio. Even I wrote a letter to Amazon and Longman, nobody responded.
By the way where can I find complete Audio CD?

3.0 out of 5 stars No comple audio CD, July 31, 2007

By 

Cuz (VA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Longman Preparation Series for the New TOEIC® Test: Advanced Course (with Answer Key), with Audio CD and Audioscript (4th Edition) (Paperback)

This book includes an audio CD of Listening Comprehension Review
which is a part of the Listening practice.
But NO CD is included for other part of Listening practice
and the two complete practice tests in the book.
I was a little disappointed since I expected I can go through
the complete practice tests twice before I take an actual TOEIC test.
It seemd we have to buy other CD, Complete Adio Progran (0-13-199308-9),
which I couldn't find at amazon.com.

This is not bad book but,
you should understnd before you decide to buy this book.
