Good book specially (the testing points) which help the person be familiar with the type of questions he will answer, but the probelm is that there are no cassettes for the listening section, the person has to read rather than listen, to be able to get that book's benifit you need to buy the cassette from the ARCO CO who publish it.(I try to look for these cassettes on the AMAZON but it is not). Regarding the cd which is comes with I can say it is excellent, because you can take test as much as you want while you will not face the same questions again in short time.also that cd has a builder skill program, a program helps the user to recognize his progress.actually the book alone worth 3 stars rating but I give it 4 because of that cd. finally if that book came with the cassettes it will get 5 stars with no dout.by the way I'm 28 years old but there is no space for that age in the selection so I take one.

Hi, I have the Toefl book, but I need the listenning comprehension cassette tapes. If anybody has an idea how to order them in Europe( e.g. Germany), as soon as possible, please email me: flight33@hotmail.com, thank you very much

I had recently bought the 2000 edition of the Arco "Prepare for the TOEFL test - with CD-ROM". I know that I am writing for a different version of the Arco's TOEFL preparation texts; however, I would like to tell you my impression about this book, so that you will be aware of my opinion when you are buying books by Arco. This book has some standard explanations about the exam and gives you some pointers; but besides that, it is not worth your time trying to study with this book if you are looking for deeper explanations and specific examples. The entire book seems like it wasn't edited; I've found many mistakes that are surprisingly easy to catch. In addition, the CD program is poorly made with only one sample exam and to add to the already frustrated user, there are bugs in the program that prohibit one from seeing the entire result of the practice test. Finally, I think Arco should have the contents from the cassetts included into the CD-ROM because buying the cassettes is another trouble for the user. I trusted Arco for my other ETS exams, but this time I am really disappointed with the poor quality of their guidance.

I found CD quite interesting. I should mention it has some bugs - especially in 4th practice test. As for the practical value of the book it has none. For this moment, generally the edition is obsolete. Don't buy it, you will regret as I did.

I would like to know how I can get the cassettes for this book from outside the US
