Books to prepare yourself for the TOEIC test

Bei uns benutzt und empfohlen:

Target Score
Updated edition from September 2007. Covers the new TOEIC Test format. Includes 3 Audio CDs and review tests. A very good book with lots of learning material. This is a class book and not a self-study book so if you are working on your own there will be a few tasks you cannot do (e.g. discussions). The answers and the tape scripts are in the back of the book. For a description of the new test format look at the handbook pdf hier. Highly recommended!
