| Watch for typosI am an English instructor of ESL students, many who are preparing for the Toefl exam. I have reviewed 5 books myself before recommending students buy one. While this book appears to be well organized, WATCH OUT!!! It is loaded with typos and errors from the start.
For example, in the Model Test 1: Pretest, I counted 11 errors in just 5 pages!!!
For example, They indicate which paragraph to read, and have them numbered incorrectly (1 and 2 are ok, but they have questions for paragraph 5 and there are only 4 paragraphs!)
Vocabulary words on the test should be highlighted, but they missed one, so a student has to search for it in the paragraph, thus wasting valuable time for a timed test.
For the question asking the student to insert a sentence, the correct answer is "C" and the answer key has the correct answer as "B" - which is NOT correct!! Then they go on to say why B is correct, while explaining the answer response for "C". This is just careless and unforgivable for a test publisher!
On one answer - where three choices are required - they list the correct choices as: "E, F and D". Fine, but why not make it: D, E, and F?
The Toefl test is difficult enough for ESL students, and I would NEVER recommend a book that makes the test literally impossible and so confusing.
The Princeton books are so far, my top picks.

Right ProgramI would recommend Pronunciation Pattern program to anyone who wants to learn how to pronunce english.I been using lots of different programs in the past and and I quit each one of them becaue they made pronuncing english more harder than it was.Even,if i spent long time to study i gained very little.However Pronunciation Pattern helped me tremondously and i can't mention everything in this short paragraph.It abled me learning to speed of my english pronunciation very quickly.It has been a couple months since i got the program and i can say I learned more than i expected.Also,lessons are presented in a clear logical manner.It is very easy to see and visualize the steps u take so you don't confuse what is what etc.Moreover,It is a complete program where you learn everything there is to know starting how topronunce letter, words until u get the confidence you need to speak english fluently.The last but not the least,the people who work at Pronunciation Pattern are professional and helpful.I called twice and each time my problems were solved happily.:-)
