Which TOEFL book to buy?

English as a Second Language Preparation for and help with the TOEFL® Test and

As I have already taken TOEFL and I am sure I will get a low score, because I spent seven months and wasted $185 preparing for the test, but I made a big mistake - I used Longman book to prepare for it. Its main problem was the fact that it didn’t have that level of difficulty that was in the real test. In other words, its tests were too easy for me to do, while during the actual test I was about to kill myself.

Anyway, now I am looking for another book to buy, but I don’t know which should I use. Some people, who also took the test (by the way, I was the youngest there) adviced me to buy Barron, but I don’t know which one. I also would like to knw what you used to prepare for the TOEFL and what was your score. Hope you will find time to help me, folks! :slight_smile:

The Kaplan Guide to iBT too is good, and there is the Guide to TOEFL iBT, from Princeton Review. Just go to a bookstore and ask for the TOEFL guide.

The Review is good; it gives you an idea about how to tackle a problem, over what to tackle.

Cordially,
