More information and preparation kits can be found at the TOEFL web-site www.toefl.org . There you can order or download information bulletins about test-dates, subscription and test locations. If you live in Europe, a bulletin can be ordered directly via [email protected]
We would also like to recommend the Kaplan preparation kits that can be purchased at www.kaptest.com/toefl
Review.de offers prep courses for the GMAT/GRE/TOEFL and also has an on-line bookshop with preparation material.
If the school you apply for require the TOEFL, but you have taken the IELTS, we would recommend you to ask the school administration if they accept IELTS as a substitute for the TOEFL.
