Paul and Gail, the authors of "Ace the TOEFL", hold degrees from prestigious Ivy League universities in the USA: Brown University and Cornell University. They have spent several years abroad helping learners of many nationalities improve their scores. Drawing on the authors' extensive teaching experience and in-depth research, "Ace the TOEFL" not only offers comprehensive reviews on TOEFL test format but also provides expert test-taking strategies to improve your score in a short time. Through hundreds of practical questions on listening, structure, reading and writing, the readers sharpen their testing skills and learn to apply the tips taught in the book to crack real problems. The authors closely follow the latest TOEFL testing requirements and incorporate updated corresponding strategies and content reviews into the book. In addition, the authors develop several conceptual frameworks to structure test solutions that can be very helpful in test preparations. The book especially addresses the common weak points of test-takers such as listening comprehension on long conversations, commonly used idioms and essay-writing structures with detailed explanations and a wealth of examples. Furthermore, 3 full-length computer tests with score analysis on CD-ROM give readers the practice they need to achieve a high score on the TOEFL. - from Amzon
