I am happy that finally its over.
Here's my score.

Reading 28
Listening 29
Speaking 28
Writing 29
Total 114

Preparation material:

1) TOEFL iBT ( with CD)
2) Kaplan ibT ( with CD)

Prep Time: 1 month

Approach was to finish Kaplan book first as they have very tough reading material and then give all the test diligently. I also paid $45 and bought an official ibT test online and gave the test before registering for the test.

Wow! That's amazing. Congratulations man.

Is this your first time?

Congrats! Amazing score.

just-do-it · 2008 July 27th, 09:46 AM

Thanks All.

Yes this was my first time.
There's lot of information out here. I just practiced from these two books page by page. Finished each section and concentrated on my weakness.

Speaking to a computer was little difficult initially. But start practicing all the questions in the book with a recorder and analyze for improvement.

Hi just-do-it,

Good Luck.

Hi Kieu_An,

I took my TOEFL on July 11 and now I am waiting for my results.

In my case, I prepared at first with Longman (Book and CD) in order to understand how the TOEFL iBT works section by section and practice with the Mini-Tests. The CD has 8 Mini-Tests that you can practice on the computer and then you can review your answers (Reading and Listening Section). I think that it is really important to get familiar with the iBT Format.

Then, I took the 2 Complete Tests of Longman CD and the 4 Complete Tests of Kaplan CD. Between these two softwares, I think that Longman seems closer to the Real Test.

Hope this helps you in your preparation.
Cheers.
