I find the Longman books good, but you have to buy a lot of them--a book and then an answer book and then the CDs and then this and that--I inderstand it's even worse for the IBT than it was for previous TOEFL types. But they're very thorough and cover "life" as well as the TOEFL.\n\nFor the TOEFL alone, I recommend the Princeton Review book. You could combine that with a more general ESL book--I recommend The Advanced Grammar Book (sorry, don't have the authors' names), but judging by the errors in your question, it may be above your level. (THE best course/"for both life" could be better expressed/you TAKE a test rather than "get" one) Of course, it's just one question and doesn't really tell me much about your English proficiency.

My favorite is One Stop English. They have lots of lesson plans, teaching ideas, grammar information and more.

For language ability you need to satisfy the american university by either TOEFL or IELTS and for eligibity for any degree course you have to prove your competence by supplying by either GMAT or SAT scores which are examinations held internationally to assess the competence of the candidate applying for admission in american universities.

Immersion is the best teacher. Use your tuition to book a nice English Speaking cruise or tour. 3 weeks! sounds like you'll meet a lot of new friends and go home talking like a native English speaker!\n\nBy the way...I notice in your writing that you could teach a few of us Yahoo Answerers a bit of English!

The easiest way to learn English is to be immersed in it - be around just English-speaking people.\n\nAs I read your welll-written question, it appeared to me that you are ready to go to an American university. It will be a little more difficult for you because you will be improving your English as you study other courses but I am confident that you can do it. It's obvious that you have good study habits.

friendly advice: before Norwegian, start with learning English.\n;)

I would suggest eTandem! That way a learner can learn English, but also teach some of their own language(s).

Unforunately you will ot find any free TOEFL course anywhere. Not even online. Been there done that, I tried! I finally broke down and took the course, a whopping one thousand dollars, but it was so worth it. Trust me, you wont regret it, and its an investement in your money making future.

First of all it is TOEFL which means Test of English as a Foreign Language. Now would like to know where you are basically from and why do you want to take TOEFL? \n\nIf you intend to study in US or Canada then it is the right decision. You should study before taking the test, here in North America the paper based test is gone and now you can only appear for TOEFL iBT. Detailed Information about TOEFL can be obtained from. www.ets.org.

Look for your grades, are they high enough to go to U.S or U.K.  Colleges and universities in U.S (I don;t know UK) requires (and prefer) international students have very high grade.\n- Take the TOEFL first, if you get high grade begin anther step.\n- look for some possible schools you want to go.\n- go to their websites, look for the degree you'd like to pursue, also tuition, room, fee, living...find one suitable for your budget. Opportunities of scholarship and requirement.\n- Apply for one or two.  If you have money you can apply for all, because the fee$ 40-100 to apply for a school, it's better if you just apply "convenient" numbers. Also apply for scholarship the same time.\n- Wait until one of school accepts you, either your application's rejected or accepted, the school will send you a letter.\n- If accepted, apply for visa....

there is a program called rosetta stone it is kinda of expensive but it is supposed to be the best in the world.\n\nPS you are planning to take the test not give the test - the teacher/proctor gives the exam you take it\n\nfor more simple - get a video of an english show/movie that has a lot of simple dialog.  turn on the closed caption and record yourself speaking the dialog of the actors.  then listen to yourself back then listen to them so you can see how you sound different. and what words you need to improve on

Mimi, the BBC English course is very good if you plan to speak the British or Australian form and accent of English.  They also have an American form of English program which takes place in San Francisco and is very interesting.  Good Luck!

I'm not sure what a Toefl is i'm assuming its compairable to the SAT or ACT.  Get into top US colleges your going to want to have at least a 12,000 on the SAT\nand a 3.5 GPA (4. scale)

Some colleges offer a course called ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE. It would be a good choice for you. Can't help you with the fast money thing. If I could I would have already been in line ahead of you.
