Summary: Wonderful self-study guide, but expensive
Review: This is by far one of the best TOEFL test-preparation guides in print. It provides a very full and clear understanding of the different question and content types found on the TOEFL exam. It also gives numerous practice exercises that reinforce skills necessary to achieving a higher score on the TOEFL. There's a great list of idiomatic expressions for the listening section and vocbulary terms for the reading section, both with fill-in exercises, too. In addition, all of the listening, grammar, and reading exercises are wonderfully written. I have the sense that Rogers really put a lot of care into the material. The book comes with a CD which contains one practice test. There are also two practice tests at the end of the book. Drawbacks: For $42.95, Complete Guide to the TOEFL does not come with the tapes for the listening material ($99.95), the transcripts or the answers ($15.00). So, you're going to have to pay around $170 to really "get" this book. In addition, the TWE section of the book is not too stellar. However, overall, I find Bruce Rogers' Complete Guide to the TOEFL to be one of the clearest, most thoughtful TOEFL test-prep books on the market. It's expensive, but it will definitely give you an outstanding preparation for the TOEFL exam.
