Rating:  - Best book ever written for the TOEFL test
This book is definitely the best book for the preparation for the TOEFL test in the market. That's why most (if not all!) the colleges in the US teach from this book in the TOEFL classes. I personally have used this book for preparation for the test. Before reading the tips and doing the sample TOEFL exams in the book, I barely could get more than 200(out of 300) on the sample TOEFL tests, however, after reading this book for only 3 weeks I earned a sweet 274(out of 300) in the TOEFL computer based. ...

Rating:  - Good Structure and Reading, not so good Listening
This book is good in Structure and Reading. In Listening strategies are well explained, but the tests in CD are not. People speak very clearly, and in real exam they don't. So, practice this part with Powerprep software (downloadlable from toefl.com) and you'll see the difference. However, this book helped me a lot to prepare the exam in 50 hours and got a score of 217/270.
Rating:  - Simply the WORST !!!
Such a waste of money! This book sucks! There are so many mistakes in it that I sometimes think that Deborah Phillips had barely graduated from high school. The strategies given in the book explain only the tip of the iceberg, they are all common sense. They explain only the basics, which are not enough to get a good TOEFL score. I don't usually write reviews, but for this one - it was a must. In case I didn't make it clear -
DON'T BUY THIS BOOK !
Rating: - The best book for TOEFL test.
The best book for TOEFL test. Software is very well organized. It is possible to analyze statistics of your mistakes and to find out the grammar problems that should be revised.
For preparation for TOEFL test I used three books: Longman, Cambridge and Thomson. Longman is the best book. Cambridge is very good too, but not as good as Longman. Thomson is very bad.
I scored 267 on computer based test.
Rating: - Lots of mistakes in software and book itself
I would not recommend buying the book
there is tons of mistakes in actual text and the software is extremely buggy.
horrible waste of $66 dollars!
