i didn't think there was much need for revision for the TOEFL unless you have serious problems with the english language... colleges don't care about it too much unless you have below their required scores.. Didn't revise at all for it and managed a 290...

For the grammar section, u need to thoroughly review the PP prep ETS gives to u. I have a decoded PDF version of all the grammar ques on that software. If u want , contact me

Listening part, well , practice makes perfect

Writing is pretty easy as long as u follow the format, and do not make any major grammar mistakes. And one last thing, develop good reasoning in ur essay, then a 6 is guaranteed.

just use the CD that ETS sends you - its quite enough.


The PR book isn't bad but its kinda unnecessary

I agree with Sucharita in that The ETS CD is quite sufficient if you are already quite proficient at English. But if you want extra practice, you might also want to take a look at Kaplan's CD, it might be helpful.

if u r in so much need of a prep book for toefl, try barron's. It is the best. personally i don't think one needs to buy a prep book unless their english is bad .
cuz getting a 250~290 range is easy.
