Best TOEFL Software + Books - Test Preparation 2018-2019

There are many books and audios online, but they are so many that one cannot only decide which one to buy. After months of preparation, I figured out that the best way is to practice with real (by this I mean difficult) TOEFL tests, and I compiled the best ones so that everyone can evaluate their scores at least only in the reading and listening sections.

All in all, these are the best software I found online for free.

ONLINE TPOs

There are many TPO (Toefl practice online) available in various sites, and all of them are in Chinese, but the point is to right-click and translate the page. They may ask you for a Chinese phone number; in that case, look for ways to buy a Chinese phone number, which is possible and safe.

The next ones are offline software for Windows. If you don't have Windows, install a virtual machine. Most of them have explanations for reading and listening to answers questions.

Software - ToeflWriting

TPOs may evaluate your writing or just share it on Facebook groups.

SPEAKING PRACTICE

Finally, this is a timer I found and enjoyed using for speaking practice. It is for android only though.

TPOs may evaluate your speaking too or just share it on facebook groups or forums.

You can use TPO speaking questions to record yourself and then ask someone to assess you.
