This review is from: Mastering Skills for the TOEFL iBT: Advanced (Combined Book) (Perfect Paperback)

This book is not so famous now, and I did not know about this company and the book.

It was risky to buy this for me, yet after opening book, I was so impressed.
Amazingly, it is lucid.

This company emphasizes reading and writing skills. This book is outlined very carefully and coherently.

Of course, like other iBT books, it does not include AudioCDs, so if you want to practice listening section, you should buy CDs which cost $40.

Anyway, it will help you. Very organized method leads you successful person!

This review is from: Mastering Skills for the TOEFL iBT: Advanced (Combined Book) (Perfect Paperback)

I am a foreign graduated pharmacist who is suffering with the TOEFL ibt. I have a lot of TOEFL books to prepare for the test ( ETS, Kaplan, Barrons..) but they seem easier than a real test for me. This book is different from them because of its clear explanations and advanced level exercises. I got a lot of new useful information which I hope helps me to pass the TOEFL. I am happy with this purchase.
I wish this book was included the CDs because to buy the book and the CDs is not cheap.

This product is great! Very helpful for preparations for the TOEFL ibt when you use it with the book. The book examples seem harder than the real TOEFL which is challenging us to learn advanced vocabulary words. I used for my studying the Kaplan, Barron's and ETS books but this book is the best. It costs its price.
