Enter this eBooks ISBN and your e-mail address at the Media Center to receive an e-mail message that contains the download instructions. This eBooks ISBN is 978-1-260-14287-7. Note: The download will only work on a PC or MAC.

The test questions on the digital download are from actual TOEFL iBT tests. However, the screens and delivery formats are not identical to the actual test. When you take the actual TOEFL iBT test, you may notice some variations in how the questions are presented to you on screen.

Once you have downloaded the files, you will see that one folder is labeled Audio. This folder contains the audio tracks that you will need in order to work through the eBook tests. You can save these audio tracks to your PC or MAC computer. To install the computer practice tests on a PC, click on the file labeled Setup to be guided through a short series of screens. At the end of the process, the tests will be installed on your computer. To install the computer practice tests on a MAC, drag the program icon to your Applications folder.

When you launch the program, this screen appears:

From the Main Menu, choose Practice Test 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Then select the test section you wish to take: Reading, Listening, Speaking, or Writing. Note that you can take each section more than once.

When you open a test section, you will first see the instructions for that section. A timer on the screen shows how many minutes and seconds you have left for that section. You can hide the timer if you find it distracting.

If you must take a break during the test, select Main Menu button at the top of the screen. This will take you back to the main menu. When you are ready to resume, open the test section again, and select the Continue button. Your work will not be lost, and you will begin exactly where you left off. The timer clock will stop while you are on your break and will restart immediately when you resume the test. Try not to take breaks too often, because on the actual test, the clock keeps running even if you leave the room on a break.

To answer the questions in the Reading and Listening sections, select the corresponding answer oval or follow the instructions given. For some questions, you will need to select more than one answer choice. After selecting your answer or answers, select Next to continue. For the Reading section, you can move back to review your answer choice by selecting the Previous button.

For the Speaking section, you should record your response to each question into a recording device after you hear the instruction telling you to begin speaking. Stop recording once the response time expires.

For the Writing section, write your response to each question in the space provided in the time allowed.

When all the questions in a section have been answered, select the Next button to complete the section.

In the Listening, Speaking, and Writing sections, you will listen to audio tracks. Audio controls are available at the bottom of the screen. At the end of a track, select the Next button to start answering questions.

On the Main Menu, select a section of any test you have taken. You will get information on the percentage of questions answered correctly for the Reading and Listening sections only. Select the Review button. For each question in the Reading and Listening sections, you will see the correct answer and the rationale explaining why the answer is correct. For the Speaking section, you will see the important points for each question, sample responses, and rater comments on the responses. Follow the instructions for listening to sample responses. Use the important points, sample Speaking responses and rater comments to evaluate your performance on the Speaking Section. For the Writing section, you will see the topic notes, sample essays, and rater comments on the essays. Use the topic notes, sample essays, and rater comments to evaluate your performance on the Writing section.

You may choose to work through the tests as you proceed through the eBook rather than using the interactive tests. If so, you will still need to listen to the audio tracks. From your copied and saved Audio folder, you can select the audio tracks by number as they are numbered in the eBook. As you work through the tests in the eBook, you will be told when to play each audio track. Each time you need to play a track, you will see the following symbol: . Select the number of the track as instructed in the eBook.
