What books do you use for TOEFL? In a hurry. . .
1. official guide ETS official study guide (commonly known as OG)

Author: Education Examination Service Center (ETS) Press: World Book Publishing Company Pricing: English version of 98 yuan, bilingual version of 68 yuan.

Just like the "tester" on the cover, yes, this is an authoritative candidate counseling book published by ETS itself. It gives a very comprehensive and systematic introduction to the examination process, the direction of setting questions, the scoring rules and other extremely important examination rules of IBT. Although the number of questions is small, they are all real questions, as well as ETS's answer instructions and real oral recording and writing samples collected from candidates, which are very valuable. The problems presented by ETS come from rare real questions.

Difficulty coefficient: general, slightly simpler than the real question, but the idea of writing the question is the closest to the real question.

Description: It is necessary for beginners and definitely worth learning again and again.

It is recommended to buy a bilingual version, which is cheap. Compared with the English version, it translated some of the original guidance information into Chinese, which is more suitable for ordinary friends.

2. Longman TOEFL (R) exam preparation course: Next Generation (IBT) with CD and answers (commonly known as Longman TOEFL course, also referred to as LPC)|

Original text: Deborah_Phillips Translator: Zhang Hongwei, Dai Yun, Press: World Book Publishing Company Pricing: 148 yuan.

The book is equipped with 8 CDs and a mock exam CD, which provides candidates with clear exam steps, and also provides candidates with the approximate time needed to make good use of the CD and learn the materials in the book. Very attentive, but simpler than the real question, some students pointed out that there are ambiguous options in the reading part. Especially the oral part, is very different from the exam. However, the mock exam CD that comes with this book really helps everyone adapt to the computer exam. The examination interface is basically the same as the real question, and the distribution of examination time is also in accordance with the standard of the real question. -

Difficulty coefficient: obviously simpler than the IBT test, especially the difference between the spoken part and the real question is quite large.

Description: Suitable for beginners to review IBT. Recommended for friends who have a long review time (more than 4 months) and a general foundation (CET4 or so). It is suggested that this book should focus on objective questions when using it. Use mock exam CDs more to improve your adaptability to computer exams.

3. The key to Delta's next-generation TOEFL test: IBT advanced skill practice (commonly known as Delta's new TOEFL course)

Author: Nancy. Gallagher Press: World Book Publishing Company Pricing: 98 yuan.

This is also a book that I personally like very much. Like Longman, Delta has also done special exercises for each part, as well as a large number of comprehensive exercises, as well as the guidance of the questioner and the schedule of using books. It is a necessary sprint material for everyone ~ ~! !

Difficulty coefficient: it is more difficult than OG, slightly simpler than the real question, and the oral part is very close to the real question, but the writing part is more difficult, which is different from ETS.

Description: Suitable for sprinting or intensive training 2-3 months before the exam.

4. How to prepare for TOEFL online test (commonly known as Barron's new TOEFL course)

Author: Dr. Pamela Sharp

There seems to be no imported version in China, so I have to buy it from foreign websites. I don't know much about this book The following is the description of the mountain edition: Barron's IBT guidance textbook, which is not widely used at present, reflects that the book is rich in listening content and has various accents. The overall topic may be a little more difficult than the exam (there is too little feedback at present, and the information about the difficulty of this book is for reference only, and because there is not much feedback, this book is not recommended for the time being.

5。 TOEFL online test with CD (commonly known as Kaplan's new TOEFL course)

Author: Kaplan

Kaplan's IBT tutoring materials, according to students who have participated in IBT, are more difficult than the IBT test (mainly reading and listening questions may be slightly difficult), and the reading questions of the model test software have minor flaws (reading questions will not be automatically located during the test), but they are still good preparation materials. It is recommended here and has not been officially launched in Chinese mainland. In August, 2006, the new edition for 2007-2008 was released.

Difficulty coefficient: it is more difficult and destroys self-confidence. It is said that the difficulty of the topic is similar to that of the extra test.

Note: because the difficulty is higher than the real question, don't be too sad to be hit. If you can control it easily, you will probably be invincible when the exam comes.

(6) New TOEFL test guide and simulated test questions

Author: Ted Times New TOEFL Test Research Center

Press: Renmin University of China Press Price: 128 yuan.

Ted's comprehensive training materials belong to Ted's "sprint series before the exam" I browsed it, mainly introducing the new TOEFL test, and provided the corresponding simulation questions and problem-solving introductions, as well as CDs.
