I recommend this book to all my TOEFL students. This summary perfectly reflects the sophisticated low-frequency vocabulary needed for the TOEFL and it's mixed with high-frequency words to create a rounded set of vocabulary. However, as a student, don't expect to read this book in a week or two and have memorized all words. It takes a lot of practice and repetition to remember and use these words naturally.
I bought this book before toefl exam and itincludes useful reading passages and some exercises but in my toefl exam I couldn't find any words which I studied from this book. I don't know maybe a it was just a bad luck but at least I should find something from this book in exam.
Clear, compact and concise,"Essential Words for TOEFl" will give you instant understanding as well as review to score highest. Look no further.This small handbook is what you are looking for if you are preparing for the TOEFL.
This book provides a decent starting point for those whose vocabulary repertoires are not advanced. I compared the vocabulary in this book with those in other similarly rated TOEFL books/box sets and found that 90% of the words in this did not appear in others. The words in this book were considerably easier, and only a few upper level vocabulary words coincided with those in other materials. Just as examples, words or phrases such as "atypical," "preclude," "with regard to," were not explained here (and only half the time in other books), but appeared on the exam. That said, this book is still useful for those whose vocabulary are limited. If you don't know the words in this book, this is a good starting point. They commonly show up in daily life.As for the format, after a relatively long intro to the exam, book, and how to study, the lessons begin (totaling 30 lessons) with approximately 17 words each lesson. They are short and provide some exercises after.
Purchased this with two additional TOEFL books that I have not had the chance to use yet. If the other two are nearly as good, I will not be disappointed. The "Essential words for the TOEFL" has improved my English proficiency and expanded my ability to refine my previously boring sentences. Practice test are located at the end of each lesson and are not easy. However, the tests will ensure you have mastered the chapters words. My husband, a native speaker thinks the book is worthwhile for everyday word improvement as well as test preparation.Proficiency, Refine and Worthwhile are all words from the book used in my review. I have a ways to go learning English, this book seems to be helping. Grammar on the other hand, is driving me nuts.
This is a great bargain for ESL learners. If English is not your first language, you can use the book to prepare for TOEFL exam and improve your understanding of English. Another 5-star purchase from .
