Congratulations to the following two people, who were first to respond to the TOEFL quiz and request a free copy of The Princeton Review’s *Cracking the TOEFL 2009*:

Volkmar in Essen, Germany
Mohammad in Teheran, Iran

We are especially happy to note the geographical diversity of the people who responded! Thanks to all of you! And if you have not yet taken the TOEFL quiz, you might still find it amusing!
The TOEFL quiz consists of three examples I AM TIRED OF HEAR–whoops, sorry. You all know that I am happy to answer your questions–all your questions.

In fact, let me answer one right now! If you are asking yourself, “Do I really need to take the
TOEFL?”–the answer is probably “yes.” Without even knowing you, I would put that probability at about ninety per cent

How can I be so sure? Because almost all university programs in which the language of instruction is English require applicants whose native language is not English to submit an acceptable TOEFL score. The minimum acceptable score is set by each individual program.

Our tip: book your seat for the TOEFL exam early on! They fill up fast.
