Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Contains frequent-used academic words, but lacks example sentences
This is a very nice book for studying for the TOEFL. I agree that the 400 words that are listed in this book are must-have words for preparing for the TOEFL. But there are two things this book lacks. First, there are only one or two example sentences per each words. Secondly, there is not much practice problems. These two shortages make what's in the book so simple. To describe this book in two words: Too Simple.
Rating:  - This book makes me look good!
As soon as I received this book, I put together a proposal to develop 40 lesson plans, using these activities as a base for the plans. It made me look good and my boss gave me a promotion and a $2/hour raise in pay. (It may sound a bit unbelievable, but it's absolutely true!). Students really appreciate these lessons too. I highly recommend this valuable resource!
Rating: - A review on the 400 Must-Hav Words for the TOEFL
This book does offer a nice variety of academic vocabulary. The fact that it is not only organized by academic discipline, but also by theme is a real bonus since iBT TOEFL draws topics from various disciplines. It also provides grammar and usage in the context of a text. This allows the learner to experience the "target words" in context. It's well done.
