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!

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.

This book is great for an independent learner. I've tried it in my classroom and it wasn't conducive to that setting. Any individual who wishes to work on their own in order to improve their toefl skills, this text would work well.

It is organized well, and the passages are quite on par with actual toefl passages. Furthermore, although I really liked the feature of having the answers available right next to the questions, some of my students felt that the temptation to peek was too great.

If you use this book and its CD you will pass TOEFLibt with high score. That is why now I am selling this book. I don't need it anymore.

The book looks indeed smarter than others, but it's almost useless for me because it doesn't come with the CDs. All I wanted was to exercise my speaking and writing skills, I'm pretty good at reading, but since everything in the speaking and writing sections is based on a CD, the book is a huge disappointment! I've tried to purchase the CDs on-line, but they are nowhere to be found, I even checked the publisher's site. It seems the only way to get the CDs is to buy the book again and pay 72$ instead. I would do it but the company selling that edition doesn't look too reliable. So I guess I'm stuck and I can't practice any listening / speaking / writing skills! Don't buy this book if it's only to practice those skills I mentioned.

This is a great book to sharp your skill for the iBT exam. This book have a very good structure for learning and also a lot of examples to practice at a mid to high level. So after you know the basis for the TOEFL, this book it is a great practice tool. There is one catch thou, you will need to buy the audio cd's together with the book to get the most out of it, otherwise you wont be able to practice as proper, nor get the most benefit out of this book.

Although I had a lot of experiences with many Toefl books such as Barrons, Kaplan, Longman, Ets, honestly, I haven't seen any effective book like this. I don't really know why this book is not as famous as any other one, but it is the best. The Base of this book is on incessant practices which are very prevalent to Toefl exam. Also, this book is Very precise and accurate. If anyone want to participate in Toefl exam, it will be the best and enough choice. It provides all requirements including vocabulary.
