I used Barron's and Longman's. Barron's is more advanced; while Longman's is more directed to the TOEFL questions. I recommend both. Good luck !

Thanks man for your help :). I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the input. Will ETS send the score to my email? Or I should ETS website. Wish me a good score :)

Hi everyone, I took TOEFL on 23rd November, and I'm still waiting for my score. When should I expect it? Has anyone ever got his score in less than 3 weeks? Thanks !

In my opinion, I don't think it's a good idea to say (Here ARE my two cents). It's a very colloquial term. It also just doesn't fit!

This is the 5th question in the speaking section which integrates listening with speaking. In this question, you listen to a conversation between two students discussing a problem that one of them is encountering. The first student tells his/her friend about the problem. Then, the second student suggests him/her two or three solutions. What you need to do is to talk about the problem, mention the suggestions that the other student proposed and finally choose one of the suggestions and support your choice with details and reasons. What you can do to beat this question in terms of time is to firstly talk about the problem in approx. 10 seconds, then spend 15-20 seconds talking about the suggestion, and finally spend the rest of the time talking about your choice and explaining why you chose that (and also you ca explain why you did NOT choose the other suggestions). I hope this helps. Good luck!

Longman's is also very useful. I bought Longman's book with 11 CDs (10 audio-1 cd with 2 complete tests and 8 mini test and skills revisions for all sections with quizzes). All the best,

Congrats man. Very impressive score. I took the exam on 23rd November, and I'm still waiting for my score. Wish me luck :). All the best,

Your Reading, Listening and Writing scores are great, I wish that I get like them. As for the speaking, it depends. If it's OK with your application to whatever..., then just leave it; your overall score is good. But, if you need around 21-23, then go for rescoring. Do NOT go for rescoring if you need more than 23-24, because GENERALLY the score never goes up more than 4 points. If it happened and you need more than 23-24, then you should retake it. I want to say it again: IF YOUR SCORE NOW IS OK FOR YOUR APPLICATION TO WHATEVER, DON'T RESCORE OR RETAKE THE EXAM. Your overall score is great. So as I told you, it depends. Good luck.

And yeah, the listening was really hard, especially the Roman Art part :(.

I got 5 reading passages. And I got 4 lectures and 2 conversations as far as I can recall. (The normal number of listening passage; I got extras in the reading.)

Thank you guys for your replies. I took the TOEFL today 12PM (GMT+3). The reading and listening were really hard, while speaking and writing were kind of moderate. I don't know how am I going to spend these 3 weeks waiting for the results. I put my TOEFL books in the drawer few minutes, I wish that I'll not be compelled to take them out again :(. I'll keep you updated.

Hi everyone, My TOEFL test is tomorrow, November 23th, at 12:00PM (GMT+3). I feel like I'm totally lost and scared, and I'm also very depressed; I really don't want to take this test again :(. Anyway, from what I observed from Barron's preparation book and Longman's is that Barron's is EXTREMELY hard, while Longman's is simpler and less complicated. How does the REAL toefl look like? Is it that hard?????? Please help me guys and give me some advices. I'm in real need of your beneficial advices. Thank you. Wish me luck tomorrow.

Thanks man for your help. Wish me luck :) BTW, are you Egyptian?

Hi friends, Is it OK if I wrote more than 200 words in the writing integrated task? Like if I wrote 230-250 words for example.? Thanks !
