That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve put together this list of TOEFL book reviews: <strong>the best TOEFL books of 2022<\/strong>. Here, you&#8217;ll see exactly why some books stand out from the crowd\u2014and learn what to avoid when searching for good TOEFL prep for <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/toefl-reading-question-type-overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reading<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/toefl-listening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Listening<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/toefl-speaking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Speaking<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/toefl-writing-section-breakdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Writing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"contents\"><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#officialtoefl\">Official TOEFL Books from ETS<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#etsofficialguide\">The Official Guide to the TOEFL Test, 6th Edition<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#etsofficialtests3rd\">Official TOEFL iBT Tests, Volume 2, Third Edition<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#etsofficialtests4th\">Official TOEFL iBT Tests, Volume 1, 4th Edition<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#unofficialprep\">Best Unofficial TOEFL Prep Books<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#magooshbooks\">Magoosh TOEFL Books<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a id=\"officialtoefl\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #4d2079;\">Official TOEFL Books from ETS<\/h2>\n<p>ETS itself makes three official TOEFL prep books that I highly recommend. These official practice materials will always be the ones most accurate to the real exam. If possible, you&#8217;ll want to get the most recent editions of each book, the ones released in 2020; these are the only editions thus far that are consistent with <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/toefl-2019-format-changes-length-timing-scoring-and-preparation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the 2019 updates<\/a> to the test format. The practice tests in these books do have many of the same questions as the practice tests in earlier editions, but the questions and sections have now been reformatted in important ways. So, let&#8217;s take a closer look at each book.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"etsofficialguide\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>1. The Official Guide to the TOEFL Test, 6th Edition<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1418\" style=\"padding-right: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/files\/2021\/03\/OG.jpg\" alt=\"The Official Guide to the TOEFL Test\" width=\"116\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are three good things about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Official-Guide-TOEFL-Test-Sixth\/dp\/1260470350\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TOEFL Official Guide<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>It has the most accurate description of what you see on the TOEFL iBT<\/li>\n<li>The practice sets at the ends of the chapters<\/li>\n<li>The four practice tests, which come with downloadable software and audio files (these can be taken in-book or through the software)<\/li>\n<li>Sample Speaking and Writing responses, with scorer commentary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>But none of it is perfect, oddly. For more details of the pros and cons of this book, read my <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/the-official-guide-to-the-toefl-test-sixth-edition-book-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full review of the Official Guide to the TOEFL iBT Test<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"etsofficialtests3rd\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. Official TOEFL iBT Tests, Volume 2, Third Edition<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1420\" style=\"padding-right: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/files\/2021\/03\/O-Tests2.jpg\" alt=\"Official TOEFL iBT tests 2 cover\" width=\"115\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The three official TOEFL books are all very close to each other in ranking, but the best of the three for cheap, authentic practice tests is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Official-TOEFL-Tests-Third-GoLearn\/dp\/1260470334\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this book<\/a>. And this book really does focus just on practice tests. There are no extra practice questions, and no supplemental chapters that give extra information about the tests. To learn more about why the official practice tests here are even better than the official prep in the other two ETS TOEFL books, check out <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/official-toefl-ibt-tests-volume-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my full review of Official TOEFL iBT Tests, Volume 2, Third Edition<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"etsofficialtests4th\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>3. Official TOEFL iBT Tests, Volume 1, 4th Edition<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1420\" style=\"padding-right: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/files\/2021\/03\/O-Tests2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Official TOEFL iBT tests 1 cover\" width=\"115.5\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before there was a Volume 2 of these tests, there obviously had to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Official-TOEFL-Tests-Fourth-Golearn\/dp\/126047335X\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official TOEFL iBT Tests, Vol. 1, 4th Edition<\/a>. The book still has the same practice tests as before, but the tests have been shortened and reformatted to match the updated TOEFL that was rolled out in 2019. While this book is very similar in quality to the second volume, there are a few important differences that are worth considering. Learn more by reading <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/toefl-tuesday-official-ibt-tests-vol-1-2nd-edition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my full review of this first volume of Official TOEFL iBT Practice tests<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#contents\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5634\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/files\/2020\/03\/back-to-top-button-1.png\" alt=\"back to top button\" width=\"150\" height=\"30\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"unofficialprep\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #4d2079;\">Best Unofficial TOEFL Prep Books of 2022<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, official TOEFL prep materials are a must-have for any serious student. But there&#8217;s a lot of really helpful prep to be found beyond ETS, and even beyond Magoosh. Here are three TOEFL books from other publishers that just might be a good addition to your test prep bookshelf.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Barron&#8217;s TOEFL iBT, With 8 Online Practice Tests<\/h3>\n<p>The ugly truth is that really good unofficial TOEFL prep materials are hard to find.

Kaplan TOEFL iBT Prep Plus<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/TOEFL-iBT-Prep-Plus-2020-2021\/dp\/1506250149\">This book from Kaplan<\/a> is not <em>quite<\/em> as good as the other resources above, but still has many strong points. Becuase of this, I&#8217;m not giving it a full, separate review, but I will describe it in a little more detail here.<\/p>\n<p>The advice in the book is, for the most part, excellent! Great tips and tricks on study habits, language learning, and test strategy. The practice material itself is flawed but helpful. Kaplan&#8217;s Reading and Listening practice questions are close enough to the real thing that you&#8217;ll get good practice. The Speaking and Writing practice are a little further off from the real thing, but can still help you build test skills and English skills.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to be wary of: the Kaplan does get certain key aspects of the TOEFL&#8217;s structure wrong. To name a few inaccuracies, their Reading questions don&#8217;t follow the order of ideas in the passage, Kaplan&#8217;s Integrated Speaking and Writing tasks are much more complicated than they should be, and the Listening sections feature class discussions, but not monologues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros and Cons of Kaplan TOEFL<\/strong><\/p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-27\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-27 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th class=\"column-1\">PROS<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-2\">CONS<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Reading passages and questions are very much like the real TOEFL.<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Reading questions are presented out-of-order.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Listening audio and questions are similar to what you&#8217;d see on test day.<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Over-emphasis on TOEFL Reading vocabulary questions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Very helpful tips on language learning, test strategy, and study habits.<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Some inaccurate descriptions of the TOEFL&#8217;s structure and content.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">High quality Independent tasks for Speaking and Writing.<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">The online exams are buggy and can only be used on the Firefox browser.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Comes with a set of video lessons and full-length practice tests.<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">The software for the online exams is different from the real TOEFL iBT software in a number of distracting ways.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Integrated tasks for Speaking and Writing are much harder than real TOEFL Integrated tasks.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- #tablepress-27 from cache --><\/p>\n<h3>8.
