I have “Cambridge Preparation for the TOEFL tests(Half blue and half orange cover)”, “Official TOEFL IBT Tests(Red cover)” and “Cracking the TOEFL IBT.” Which one is the most accurate book? and how accurate are these books? which would you recommend?
Reading of Cambridge is a little bit harder than the actual test but it’s good to practice with this book. I guess the most accurate source is TPO. Try to read cambridge or Barrons to get familiar with test then do all of the TPOs.
If you feel pretty confident about the Toefl, you should use the official prep book and just take several tests from there. Those tests there were like the real ones. However, if you feel that your English is not that good, you should watch movies in English and read more books. To my mind, On the Road and The Catcher in the Rye were the easiest books to read in the original versions.
Hope it will help!
Honestly, the official prep book is more than enough. Once you understand how they expect you to tackle the questions(for the speaking and the writing section, the reading and listening require nothing but some practice!) you can easily score above 100. I’d suggest that you watch Notefull’s videos on Youtube and then take some practice tests. If you still feel the need to buy a practice book, buy the Cambridge prep book.
