This review is from: Longman Preparation Series for the Toeic Test : Advanced Course (English for Business Success Series) (Paperback)

This book has proven successful in preparing our students for the TOEIC exam as shown in our control exams for measuring language learning progress. I recommend it for intermediate level students. There is also an Introductory Course by the same author for Elementary Students which is as good as this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Longman's costly oversights, October 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Longman Preparation Series for the Toeic Test : Advanced Course (English for Business Success Series) (Paperback)

This book is excellent, as are all the Toeic books that Longman publishes. One shortcoming is strident, however, and that is the absence of tapescripts at the back of the book. I can only postulate that this omission is designed to stop the Toeic aspirant from cheating, but it certainly makes the acquisition of this set of Toeic material both costly and cumbersome.

Instructions absolutely clear. Lets students use knowledge of outside world. Wide variety of vocabulary. Allows students to discuss reasons for choices when checking answers. Excellent grammar patterns. Most useful Patterns to Remember sections. Very good reading comprehension questions.
