Editorial Review:
The benefits of learning by computer are highlighted in this software package for nonnative speakers of English preparing for the TOEFL exam. POWERPREP software allows users to become accustomed to the speed at which the listening materials are presented and to hear English as it is spoken in North America. It also simulates actual testing conditions so test takers become familiar with directions and strategies for all for sections of the exam. Four tutorials on how to answer questions in each section, three essay topics for writing practice, and sample essay responses are also included.

Rating:  - Ok if your English is pretty good
This is the only item you should buy if you feel confident about taking the CBT TOEFL test, that is your English is already pretty good. The GUI is the same as test day so at least there is no suprise. I could not get the program to work under WIN98 SE, the sound would not come on. However, and very surprisingly, it works fine under XP!
In sum, try to buy it used because it is not worth paying the full price.
Rating:  - Do not work
Hello.

Rating:  - not worth the price
This software only helps you see how you'll score on the real exam and that's it! You can get an idea of how you'll score on the essay part too. There are several essays written by people who took the exam in the past. The ones with scores of 1 or 2 are really funny. I don't understand why one would take TOEFL with such terrible English. If you can understand what Americans are saying when they are talking slowly and clearly, and if you can read and understand articles in newspapers or magazines, ... Read More
Rating: - mediocre quality
The listening section on Test 1 works fine only before the start of the test and voice is not coming up during the actual test questions. This doesn't reflect the company's professionalism, and i'm really upset about the way the software messed up with my preparation. I'm going to have to let BBB know about this complaint and let the rest of the aspirants know the mediocre quality of your product.
They must have real professionals devolop these kind of products. I'm a software professional too, ... Read More
Rating: - If you don't have any more, this would be helpful
I expect more, especially when it comes from ETS. The excercise from the book were not helpfull at all and there are only a few tests. But, as I say if you don't have anything else this could give a realistic idea of the test.
