The official guide from the makers of the TOEFL to ensure your exam success!
The Official Guide to the TOEFL® iBT is the leading guide to the most widely accepted English-language proficiency test in the world--the TOEFL test. Written by ETS, the makers of the test, this book includes two real full-length TOEFL tests for practice, as well as explanations of every section of the test and information on what is expected of you for every speaking and writing task. You will learn how to construct your answers and integrate the four skills needed to demonstrate academic English-language proficiency: reading, listening, speaking and writing. The accompanying CD-ROM provides on-screen interactive versions of both real TOEFL tests in the book, just like the one you will encounter on test day.
Educational Testing Service (ETS), based in Princeton, New Jersey, is a private, nonprofit organization devoted to educational measurement and research, primarily through testing. ETS develops and administers millions of achievement tests each year in the United States and 180 other countries. These include the TOEFL®, GRE®, Praxis®, and other standardized tests.

Doesn't teach HOW, March 22, 2010 By Lucas Verney-fink
I've been teaching TOEFL preparation classes with this book, and for that it is TERRIBLE. There aren't enough examples, and there's no practical or useful advise on HOW to take the test. Most of the book is just text describing the test question, a lot of which is stuff you would figure out on your own by simply looking at the test. Other books actually offer practice and exercises. There are NO exercises in this book outside of a few sample questions, and there are only three examples of each speaking task altogether. Several pages of writing topics, but barely any advise on how to actually write the thing.
Don't waste the money because it's "official."
TOEFL iBT, November 8, 2009 By Kaja Hornseth
The book is great preperation material before the TOEFL iBT. The only thing that bothered me, after the test, was that it didnt't exactly tell me how many tasts there would be on each section. When you do the sample tests you also think that you have way more time than you actually do on the real exam.
It is only a guide, February 24, 2010 By Josua Partogi
This book is not a good book for preparing your TOEFL test. It only serves as a 'Guide'. There are not enough example to learn as well. Get some other TOEFL preparation book instead.
