Hi All,
I am planning to give the toefl test on 8th August 2009 from Chennai India.
I would like to know from which books I should prepare to really perform well on the exam.

I have the following books with me:
1) Toefl by Delta which has 6 full length test
2) Official Guide to Toefl
3) Kaplan

I have around 40 days to prepare for the test.
So any suggestion about how to prepare for those days will be really appreciated.

I prepared with Kaplan and it helped me a lot.
I know people who used the guide from ets and they told me that it was easier than the questions from the exam. I guess they give you this in order to get familiar with the structure of the exam. I also work with longman but found out that the level of its questions didn't compare with the ones in the real exam. I talked with some of the people who took the exam with me and studied from this book and they told me the same.

Good luck!!!

I used Barrons, Princeton Review, ETS guide and Cambridge CD.

Barrons: more difficult that the real test.
ETS guide: relatively easier.
Princetons: I only studied Speaking and Writing- I liked the Speaking templates and I also used their style of integrated writing.
Cambridge CD: Speaking, awesome, exactly like the real TOEFL Speaking.

Good Luck!
