A list of recommended books for TOEFL IBT

I found many books to prepare for TOEFL IBT on Amazon. I’m not sure which one I should use. Do you guys have a list of recommended books for preparing TOEFL IBT ? Any good tips ?

By the way, hello I am from Canada… originally from Japan though. :smiley:

TOEFL listening lectures: A university lecture on American social history

I use:
Official Guide for Toefl ibt
Barron TOefl ibt
and i also have kaplan Toefl ibt.
My friend told me Official Guide and Barron are enough, kaplan’s is more difficult. However, i also want to study kaplan’s.

The best books for TOEFL IBT preparation :

Barron’s Writing for the TOEFL iBT: with Audio CD

Kaplan TOEFL iBT with CD-ROM 2008-2009

The Official Guide to the New TOEFL iBT with CD-ROM (Official Guide to the Toefl Ibt)

400 Must-Have Words for the TOEFL

TOEFL iBT. Internet-Based Test 2008, 12th edition

Practice Exercises for the TOEFL with Audio CDs (Barron’s Practice Exercises for the Toefl)

Longman preparation course Toefl ibt is quite easy but well-organized. It is good for introduction.
Cambridge preparation for toefl ibt (4th edition) + CD-Rom I find more useful than barrons, especially for reading.
400 Must-Have Words for the TOEFL - useful too

If you had time, I will recomment that you go through all the TOEFL books you find at you disposal.
However, below are the books I find important for TOEFL IBT preparation:
-The Official guide to toefl ibt
-Princeton review
-Barron TOEFL book (specifically for the writing section)
-Delta key to next generation TOEFL IBT

As for vocabulary, you will learn and have a mastry of them by going through the above books.

I also used Delta which was pretty good. I liked the speaking practice on the book. The listening samples for the speaking section were pretty close to the exam.

Good books I can recommend are:
1- Longman Preparation Course for the TOEFL Test - Next Generat
2- Cambridge_Preparation_To_TOEFL_
3- BARRON’S TOEFL iBT

and a good website I can mention is: test-toefl.com

Good Luck!

You can buy all those books from www.amazon.com !

My dear friend,

As the previous post mentions you can buy all these books online. Also in most of the book stores and libraries you can easily find them too.

Moreover, if you search www.4shared.com or if you know how to use torrent you can find the PDF files of these books and choose the best of them for buying. :wink:
Good luck! www.test-toefl.com
