I have several books for TOEFL preparation. I must say nothing handles speaking and writing strategies as beautifully as this book does…this book was right on the target. It teaches you the skills by letting you know what graders are looking for and how they do the evaluation. As a result, you focus on those very essential and critical points, which graders are measuring you against. To me it is one of the best book available on the subject. –A student
