Customer Rating: Summary: A very complete book Comment: Kaplan TOEFL iBT with CD-ROM 2008-2009 (Kaplan Toefl Ibt)I consider this book complete because it have practice tests with detailed answer explanations ,intensive practice for each section of the test and score racing and strategies.Is like a personal tutor at your home. Customer Rating: Summary: It's just ok! Comment: I'm fine with it, but this book isn't as good as I exepct. It still has some material that I need. Customer Rating: Summary: Good prep for self-motivated English language learners Comment: Excellent way for English Language Learners to improve reading, writing, listening and speaking. CD makes studying alone extremely valuable. Also, of course, good prep for the TOEFL by one of the nation's best prep-book publishers. Customer Rating: Summary: Does it work with vista? Comment: Do you have any idea if cds are working with vista? I could not find any information about this issue. If you let me know, i am sure it will help to other vista users too. Thank you! Customer Rating: Summary: PROS AND CONS Comment: I bought Cracking the TOEFL IBT with Audio CD, 2009 Edition (College Test Prep)( Princeton Review) and Kaplan TOEFL iBT with CD-ROM 2008-2009 (Kaplan Toefl Ibt) .i read both of them for one month and passed the ibt by 97. This is what I think about these two books on all four part of ibt:
Princeton Review
Reading 3 out of 5: good strategies but the readings are simpler than the real exam
Writing 5 out of 5: great strategies and samples with good drills
Speaking 4 out of 5: good strategies and drills but difficult to use on exam
Listening 4 out of 5: good strategies and sample but limited number
Overall 4 out of 5: the most important negative point is that it comes only with audio cd and you can not experience the real exam condition.
Kaplan
Reading 5 out of 5: great strategies and samples
Writing 2 out of 5: some useful techniques but not so helpful
Speaking 2 out of 5: some useful techniques but too general
Listening 4 out of 5: good strategies and examples
Overall 3.5 out of 5: the most important positive point is that you can create the real exam condition by its cd-rom at home.
