Product Review

The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is an internet-based test, or iBT, and this brand-new package that combines two instructive books with a CD-ROM and a set of 10 audio Compact Discs offers students the most comprehensive program for excelling on the TOEFL available anywhere. It includes the following components:
Barron's TOEFL iBT, 13th Edition by the experienced ESL instructor and author Pamela Sharpe, Ph.D. The manual presents seven full-length model TOEFL iBT tests with explanations or examples for all questions, including sample essays and speaking responses. Test-takers also get a general orientation to the TOEFL iBT, a review of required academic skills, which include note taking, paraphrasing, summarizing, and synthesizing, and a review of language skills that covers listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English.
A CD-ROM presenting computerized versions of all seven full-length TOEFL practice tests from the manual plus an extra brand-new TOEFL practice test. All eight practice tests simulate actual test conditions and provide automatic scoring.
Ten Audio Compact Discs: These CDs present audio prompts for all Listening, Speaking, and Writing sections of all TOEFL practice exams and additional exercises throughout the TOEFL manual.
Barron's Essential Words for the TOEFL, 4th Edition, the vocabulary builder by Stephen J. Matthiesen

Barron's TOEFL iBT Superpack is more than a superb self-teaching program for TOEFL students. It's also a money-saver. Purchase of the Superpack represents a savings of $26.98 over the items if purchased separately.

This review is from: Barron's TOEFL iBT Superpack (CD-ROM)
I bought this product a week ago. It arrived on time, every thing was good. The book is good, the small book comes with is good but when I started doing the full test, I started to feel really annoyed. When I take the full test, it skips some questions and at the end of the test you end up with 9 unanswered questions. Moreover it shows the questions I did right as wrong. It shows the same choice as a right answer but still gives red mark telling I did wrong. So these really demotivate you, because you wanna see how well you scored but constantly facing with problems is frustrating. Still if you want to evaluate yourself with the chart ( number of right answer Vs. scaled scores) you can benefit from the material. There are 8 full practice tests, so plenty of exercise.

Barron's TOEFL iBT Superpack

I definitely recommend this pack to anyone who's planning to pass the TOEFL at the first shot!
It's very complete preparation program and it gives you a lot of tips to make out of the TOEFL a success.

I got it a week before taking the test, Took about 2 days on the book "Words you need to know for the TOEFL" and then I basically used the CD for performing Toefl test models to verify my time etc.

If you've got a decent level of English don't bother paying $1000+ TOEFL preparation courses 'cause you'll do exactly the same that you'll find in this book.
