Please suggest a plan for me rush for TOEFL 24th August !

[duongviethai]

Hi, I incline to sit for the TOEFL iBT in 24th August. I finished Longman and now I am doing both Barron's and Cambridge. My weakness is listening. Could anyone suggest me an appropriate plan to improve Listening ? I found that Barron's Listening is extremely hard, however, Cambridge is relatively medium. Should I practice more books like Kaplan, Mastering Skills For The TOEFL iBT... ? Thank in advance ! P/S : I heard that TOEFL Reading is extremely hard. Based on your opinions, which books is closest to the actual TOEFL reading ?

I think all of this book is just only practice books to help us improve our skills. That's why i saw that there were many answers for the questions "Which book is the most useful reference". But i think the more you practice, the more you make fast progress. If you have much time, try to practice all books you have.
For the listening problems, the best way is try to improve your take notes ability. Try to spend time on listening lecture online. Try to listen as much as you can. For me, Barron is the best listening practice with clearly voices, academic topics and challenged questions. Eventhough i still not take Toefl test, i hope all that my experience is helpful for you.
PS: You used to help me much on onother forum, in Viet nam. Thank you very much.
