Top the TOEFL: unlocking the secrets of Ivy League students

Top the TOEFL is a TOEFL book like no other. It recognizes an essential key to the problem: students who struggle with the TOEFL have problems mastering English.

Hence, while other TOEFL books teach strategies with long wordy explanations that hardly make sense to the average student, Top the TOEFL focuses on teaching students in the most intuitive way possible: examples.Each unit is systematically broken down to make it simple for any student to Top the TOEFL.

First, "Simple Steps" are condensed at the outset for easy reference.

Next begins "Elaboration with Examples" — a section where the "Simple Steps" are put into practice.

The unit concludes with the "TOEFL Trainer" which divides exercises according to the "Simple Steps", allowing students a chance to directly put the strategies to practice rather than just throwing students into the deep end by providing a full set of TOEFL practice tests.Contents:Topping the Reading Section:Reading Fast and Reading WellUnlocking VocabularyStructure and Organization IStructure and Organization IIPerfect ParaphrasingSuccinct SummariesIntelligent InferencesTopping the Independent Writing Section:Toning the ToneSkeletons to SuccessBridging IdeasIntroductions Made EasyTopic SentencesStitching the Essay TogetherTopping the Integrated Writing SectionEffective Note-TakingFraming ArgumentsReadership: Students who intend to take the TOEFL test, students who intend to improve their English language capabilities.Keywords:TOEFL;English;ESL;Admissions;Test;United States;USAKey Features:Systematic breakdown of TOEFL questions with specific strategies to tackle each questionStrategies taught via direct examples instead of abstract conceptsEach unit concludes with exercises specially designed for students on how to apply the strategies
