If you are serious about improving your TOEFL iBT score, you better start preparing for TOEFL Exam. It will be hard to improve your TOEFL Exam score overnight, but with good preparation, you can improve your score. You can consider using the following books for TOEFL iBT preparation
Top TOEFL iBT Books
- Kaplan TOEFL iBT with CD-ROM 2008-2009
- The Official Guide to the New TOEFL iBT with CD-ROM (Official Guide to the Toefl Ibt)
- 400 Must-Have Words for the TOEFL
- TOEFL iBT. Internet-Based Test 2008, 12th edition
- Practice Exercises for the TOEFL with Audio CDs (Barron’s Practice Exercises for the Toefl)
If you decide to study in US 2 to 3 years before actual semester you plan to apply, start watching English Movies, read novels and magazines. It will improve your Vocabular over period of time. It will also help with Reading Comprehension in GRE. Buying GRE and TOEFL books alone will not improve your score. Spend few hours of dedicated time to prepareffor the exams.

hey tarun i need a little help here. i have been taking toefl classes for few weeks from now. i have a question to ask. from the time i have joined the toefl class i didn’t find any difference in my progress for it i just withdrew a book from the libraray there its the cambridge.
can u please suggest your opinion on this. which book should i use . in the library i didn’t find kaplan’s book but baron’s is available. please suggest me what i should do.
another problem is the speaking section how do i practice on it. and which was the book .the one from which you practiced your essay. please let me know .
looking forward to hearing from you soon.
yours sincerely

I believe that one doesn’t need more than 7 days for toefl….all you gotta do is :
1. Study the book and the CD that you get after registration.
2. ALWAYS be calm when attempting this test…it you ask me its more like a temperament test….always tests your coolness at the test center.
3. If you really want to study hard, download the kaplan and barons cd on the toefl iBT from the internet, they provide good practise.
p.s. : I studied 5-6 days for this test, did a little of the above mentioned material and got a score of 115
, while my friend studied for just 1 day ( just 1 ! ), and got a score of 109…..This test is much easier for kids who have grown up reading the newspaper regularly or novels, comics, etc.
I think your knowledge of English is very good and you were familiar with toefl exam during 5-6 days. I have a question please guide me if you can
I am going it take an exam on may 2010 TOEFL PBT. which book do you suggest me?
Looking forward to hearing from you
sincerely yours

are you taking the paper based test ? I took the iBT ( internet based test ) , so i prepared accordingly ( i.e. the speaking and listening sections ).
As far as books are concerned you can take either the Kaplan’s or the Baron’s, both are good, though i’d say Kaplan’s is slightly better but Baron’s has more prep. material.
).
You will also get a official prep. book when you register for the test, make sure you do that properly (during my exam, i got an essay similar to a sample essay given in the official guide book, so i simply wrote down an identical essay and got full marks
All the best !
