This section contains our reviews on some highly-recommended
books that just didn't fit under the other subject areas.
Better Grammar in 30 Minutes a Day by Constance Immel and Florence Sacks
Buy this book from Amazon.com
Please don't be too turned off by the title. Although
half an hour a day with this book would improve most
people's grammar (English Ph.D.s perhaps notwithstanding),
one can still use this softcover guide to write much
more grammatically-correct admissions essays. This is
one of the easiest to use and best grammar guides we
have ever seen. Our only complaint is that the book's
editor was not a disciple of the book. There is a grammatical
mistake on the cover of the book and the index also contains
a few errors.
Grammar for Smart People: Your User-Friendly
Guide to Speaking and Writing Better English by Barry Tarshis
Buy this book from Amazon.com
This is another excellent grammar book. It is easy to
understand and very well written.
The Official Guide to the TOEFL, 3rd Edition by Educational Testing Service
Buy this book from Amazon.com
Just as we recommend preparing for
the GMAT by reviewing the old, previous questions,
we also recommend preparing
for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)
the same way. This guide contains 980 actual questions
from previous exams plus 140 practice questions. It will
give you a good idea of what to expect to see on the
exam but it will not give you good explanations to the
questions and it will not teach you the grammar rules
you will need to be successful. For this reason, we strongly
recommend that you also use an "unofficial" TOEFL
guide to help you prepare for this exam.
Cracking the TOEFL iBT with CD, 2013 Edition by Princeton Review
Buy this book from Amazon.com
Our clients have had many good things to say about
this Princeton Review guide. The answer explanations are detailed and
the full-length simulated TOEFL iBT with accompanying audio sections on an MP3 CD looks very well prepared.
