(NOTE:<\/strong> The TOEFL books that Magoosh reviews and recommends reflect the older, pre-August 2019 version of the test. As of this writing, there are no TOEFL prep books that reflect the newest version of the test. Fortunately, older-format books are still very useful in prepping for the current TOEFL. For details on this, see Magoosh’s tutorial on using older prep for the 2019 TOEFL<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\"51OVMi5cq4L\"<\/a>Although I have used practice material from Delta\u2019s book of seven practice tests in classes before, I haven\u2019t used it much, and I\u2019d never used Delta\u2019s Advanced Skill Practice<\/a> before buying it for this review. So when I started going through this book and saw how much material it includes for such a low price, I thought, \u201cI wish I\u2019d known about this book sooner!\u201d And then the glow faded as I spent more and more time looking at the material. To put it simply, Delta\u2019s practice material doesn\u2019t accurately mimic the real TOEFL and the challenges it presents. Having a lot of practice material doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s a good book. The quality of the material is much more important. So, similar to Barron\u2019s TOEFL book<\/a>, Delta may be tempting, but I don\u2019t recommend it for self study. <\/p>\n

It could be very convenient for a teacher or tutor to draw from for extra practice material\u2014the organization, price, and straightforwardness of the exercises make for very easy use\u2014but then again, McDonald\u2019s is convenient too. And I wouldn\u2019t serve McDonald\u2019s to my students if they were trying to improve their health.
\n <\/p>\n

Quality of practice material<\/h2>\n

Okay, so the quality of Delta\u2019s practice material isn\u2019t as low as the quality of McDonalds\u2019 food. (You can probably tell I\u2019m not a fan of fast food\u2026) That may have been a little too harsh, because there are definitely worse options available. Delta more accurately represents what TOEFL reading passages look like than Barron\u2019s does, for example. But it\u2019s still full of small problems that really add up to a much larger quality issue.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the biggest problem: length. In the sections for reading and listening practice, the texts and recordings are all<\/strong> too short. This is not accidental, I\u2019m sure. I imagine that the author, Nancy Gallagher, consciously wrote short and fast exercises with just a few questions each. After all, shorter exercises are easier to incorporate into a class\u2014the teacher has more freedom to use fewer or more questions. But by doing that, the Gallagher completely removed TOEFL timing from that practice, and timing is one of the biggest challenges of real TOEFL reading. Similarly, note-taking and memory, two of things that make TOEFL listening difficult, are almost completely irrelevant for those shorter recordings. Listening to a two-minute lecture then answering two questions is not the same as listening to a five-minute lecture and answering six questions. When the recordings are short, you don\u2019t need notes. On the real TOEFL, you definitely<\/em> need notes, and your preparation should help develop that skill.<\/p>\n

There are some full-length practice sets in the four practice tests, but those aren\u2019t perfect, either. The difficulty of the questions doesn\u2019t match the real TOEFL, for one. The wrong answers to reading questions aren\u2019t tricky enough, because they\u2019re too often irrelevant to the text. That type of wrong answer can be difficult for the listening questions, but less so for the reading, because it\u2019s easy to go back to the text and compare wrong answer choices to it. If a topic is mentioned nowhere in the text, it\u2019s easy to eliminate. (In listening, it\u2019s harder because you have to rely only on memory and notes.) At the same time, the right answers often use nearly the exact same words as what\u2019s in the text. The easiest of TOEFL reading questions do that, but it\u2019s rare. On the real test, the information from the text is paraphrased<\/em> in the right answer, using synonyms and different sentence structures, not plainly copied. <\/p>\n

And although some of the questions are more challenging, they\u2019re made hard in the wrong ways. They might not give you the paragraph number, for example, so you have to search through the whole text. In an actual TOEFL, you always know which paragraph to look at, because it is provided next to the question.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just the questions; the texts and recordings also have their flaws. The recordings don\u2019t include much natural language, for instance. Actors say \u201cgoing to\u201d instead of \u201cgonna,\u201d they don\u2019t pause, and they don\u2019t repeat themselves like they do on the real TOEFL. And the quality of the actors is varied. Some sound like actual people talking, but others sound like they are speed-reading through a script. In at least one recording, an actor that should<\/em> be a part of a conversation is instead giving a monologue (speaking alone). And a text the tells about the cycle of the moon? That\u2019s not like the TOEFL at all\u2014texts should be about relatively unknown, academic topics, not common knowledge.<\/p>\n

Even the format suffers. Since 2011, the TOEFL has given you 60 or 80 minutes to complete three or four reading tasks. Before 2011, you would get 20 minutes for the first task, then 40 minutes for the next two, and possibly 40 minutes for a final two. Delta has not updated their material to match the post-2011 test; they still follow the old timing. Besides that, in several reading passages, the number of questions is wrong, at 13 questions where there should be 14. Those two together are a pretty good indication of how carefully Delta has tried to match the current test standards.
\n <\/p>\n

Amount of practice material<\/h2>\n

Yes, there\u2019s a lot of material in this book. But if that\u2019s what you want, buy the book of five official practice tests<\/a> or possibly the Complete Guide<\/a>, if you don\u2019t mind spending a little more money. Those would give you practice more similar to the actual test. And if you are looking for full-length tests, in particular, four is not that many\u2014not for a long, intensive TOEFL course, anyway. Cambridge<\/a>, by comparison, offers seven tests.
\n <\/p>\n

Quality of explanations<\/h2>\n

This is one of the stronger points of Delta: there are explanations to all the reading and listening questions at the back of the book, and there are key points given for each and every speaking or writing task. But the wrong answers are not discussed at all, so if you are confused about why one answer is wrong, the answer key won\u2019t help. For the most part, the explanations just say something like \u201cthe correct answer is mentioned at this place of the text\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for sample speaking tasks and essays, there aren\u2019t many, and the few that are provided are a bit confusing. In TOEFL practice material, there are two general types of sample answers: \u201cideal\u201d answers that you should model, and \u201crealistic\u201d answers that give insight as to how to score yourself. Ideal answers are usually from native speakers, and there are no exercises associated with them (such as grading or correcting them). Realistic answers, meanwhile, should sound just like a real student, with all the natural mistakes, accents, etc. Those are great for grading and editing exercises. Delta\u2019s samples are generally native speakers reading from scripts, and some of the actors seem to be using fake accents. There are few or no errors in many of the samples, but you are then asked to \u201cgrade\u201d the responses. And that really doesn\u2019t make sense.
\n <\/p>\n

Skill building material<\/h2>\n

Even if it doesn\u2019t do a very good job of it, Delta focuses mostly on giving test-like questions. There are few exercises in this book that train you on skills like note taking, planning essays, or varying sentence structures. There are some, but they\u2019re not a highlight. You could easily use this whole book and not improve your note-taking skills at all. That\u2019s dangerous, because\u2014as I wrote earlier\u2014note-taking skills are really important for the TOEFL. <\/p>\n

When it does focus on background skills, Delta generally just explains the skill, gives a short example, and then provides test-like practice material. There is no step-by-step training, like you find in Cambridge.<\/p>\n

Academic vocabulary is also strangely missing. There are plenty of idioms and phrases that are listed and defined, but the only list of academic vocabulary is one of prefixes, roots, and suffixes. Some items in that list, like \u201c-polis-,\u201d are linked to words with totally dissimilar meanings (\u201cpolice,\u201d \u201cmetropolis,\u201d \u201cpolitics\u201d). Learning the meaning of a root like that does not really help you define all the words that contain it. However, the more conversational\/general vocabulary that is given is incorporated into test-like exercises, which is a good thing. After all, in order to improve vocabulary properly, you need to learn it in context<\/em>\u2014not just by a dictionary definition.<\/p>\n

I should also mention that Delta really likes transcription exercises. That\u2019s the most notable way that background skills are taught. I\u2019ll be honest, here: I\u2019m not sure how helpful they are for improving listening comprehension. Transcription isn\u2019t very popular nowadays, and most students really don\u2019t like it, in my experience, so I\u2019ve only done it a few times, and only with beginner or intermediate students who are still learning to hear the separation between individual words in natural English. I don\u2019t want to say this is a definite flaw in the book, but I\u2019m skeptical.
\n <\/p>\n

Test Strategy and Advice<\/h2>\n

There are lists of tips sprinkled through the book, but few are very surprising. A lot of the advice is too basic, like this: \u201cDuring the recording time [in a speaking task], respond to each part of the question. Use key ideas and relevant details from the conversation or lecture to support your points.\u201d I\u2019ve never had a student who didn\u2019t understand that already. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s some good, concrete advice in those lists, but most of it is too buried in those unsurprising bits of common sense. And there is very, very little modeling of how to apply<\/em> the good tips. They\u2019re just listed and then not mentioned again.

The Final Word<\/h2>\n

There is one situation when I would recommend this book: To a student or teacher who cannot<\/strong> spend more money, but has already used all of the official guide, the book of five official practice tests, and free official material. In that case, Delta is comparable to Barron\u2019s<\/a>.
