Summary: Good Book but the CD sucks!
Comment: The book is good, it has very good content and exercises but the cd is really bad. It is really slow, and get stucks in some section. It is so bad, that sometimes the question simply does not appear! I recommend to use other books and practice with other CD because this one is just a lose of time.

Summary: Very bad editorial work
Comment: Though the book is quite complete and comes with a bunch of standard tests on the cd-rom, the text on the book refers to the audio cds time and time again, even though you don't have them. That renders most of the book's exercises useless.

Summary: Watch for typos
Comment: I am an English instructor of ESL students, many who are preparing for the Toefl exam. I have reviewed 5 books myself before recommending students buy one. While this book appears to be well organized, WATCH OUT!!! It is loaded with typos and errors from the start.
For example, in the Model Test 1: Pretest, I counted 11 errors in just 5 pages!!!
For example, They indicate which paragraph to read, and have them numbered incorrectly (1 and 2 are ok, but they have questions for paragraph 5 and there are only 4 paragraphs!)
Vocabulary words on the test should be highlighted, but they missed one, so a student has to search for it in the paragraph, thus wasting valuable time for a timed test.
For the question asking the student to insert a sentence, the correct answer is "C" and the answer key has the correct answer as "B" - which is NOT correct!! Then they go on to say why B is correct, while explaining the answer response for "C". This is just careless and unforgivable for a test publisher!
On one answer - where three choices are required - they list the correct choices as: "E, F and D". Fine, but why not make it: D, E, and F?
The Toefl test is difficult enough for ESL students, and I would NEVER recommend a book that makes the test literally impossible and so confusing.
The Princeton books are so far, my top picks.
