preface
The Heinemann TOEFL Practice Tests is designed to help students prepare for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). To create reliable and valid tests for this book, the authors conducted extensive research into the TOEFL. They examined TOEFL test items, characterizing them in terms of material tested and difficulty level. Following this analysis, they wrote questions with the same characteristics as those on the TOEFL and incorporated these questions into practice TOEFLs and then pilot tested these tests with international students from over twenty different countries. From these pilot tests, the authors selected only those questions which, when statistically analyzed, functioned in the same way that official TOEFL questions do. Using these questions, they created the practice tests that are found in this book and its companion. The Heinemann TOEFL Preparation Course. These tests contain all of the question types found on the revised (1995) TOEFL, and they function in the same way that official TOEFLs do.
