Product Description
This course gives students the skills, strategies, practice and confidence they need to increase their scores on all sections of the TOEFL Test, including the Test of Written English. This edition reflects the revised TOEFL, first administered in July 1995, and skill coverage has been expanded for all sections. Volume A explains and practices key language points so that students improve their language proficiency as well as their test-taking skills. Clearly defined steps, pre- and post-tests and TOEFL exercises guide students in improving TOEFL strategies and scores. TOEFL answer sheets are included, along with scoring information. The two cassettes contain a wide range of listening material. Volume B contains five complete practice tests; a comprehensive "Strategies" section to help students avoid common mistakes and maximize their time; and horizontal and vertical answer sheets to familiarize students with both common formats. The teacher's manual provides explanatory notes and teaching ideas, as well as tapescripts and full answer key.

Summary: One of the best for TOEFL! 2002-07-20
Comment: I used this book as a sole source to study for TOEFL (after browsing at least 4-5 others), did the tests from this book, Barron's TOEFL, Kaplan TOEFL, and the official ones and I got an excellent score in the real exam (my English before taking the test was high-school level). It features only high-yield grammar topics and a very good listening-comprehension section. Extremely useful especially if you don't have much time to prepare for the exam (I had 3 weeks).

Summary: Waste of time and money 2000-02-18
Comment: I bought this book because my teacher recommended me and i thought that the real toefl test would be easy. I took the test and i couldn't believe how different it was from the book. Now i changed my teacher and i do not recommend the longman prep to anyone. If you really want to be prepared for the test, practice with the ETS and see the difference.

Summary: A book that increases the score and shortens the time 1999-10-15
Comment: I have been preparing students for TOEFL examinations for over 2 years and this is my number one book. Compared to Barron's , Peterson's or other preparation materials, Deborah Phillips' book gives the student the chance to actually improve their scores by focusing on how to think and approach the test. In the case of "Structure and written expression" section, for instance,the results were amazing. When doing the preliminary test most of my students not only got wrong more than half of the exercices, but they were also unable to finish in time, which meant even more mistaken answers. Time is of crucial importance! After having completed the preparation in this book, first, all of them managed to finish in time and second, the number of errors dropped dramatically (from 20 out of 40 to 10 and even 5). All my students have used this book and all have scored above 550 in the TOEFL examination. It's been a valuable and indispensable instument for me and I highly reccomend it.

Summary: The course is a lot easier than the actual TOEFL test! 1999-07-14
Comment: What a waste of money! After finishing the course, I was sure to get the 600 I needed, but to my astonishment, the actual test was a lot more difficult than the course!

Customer Rating:
Summary: An average TOEFL prep book with glaring weaknesses. 1998-10-30
Comment: This TOEFL prep book does not adequately prepare advanced students for listening, grammar, or reading problems. The content in the listening and grammar sections is off-base. Worse is the reading section which contains readings which are often less than one half the length of actual readings on the test. The book is probably suitaable for low intermediate students, but that's about it.
