From the Author:

Delta's Key offers readers the features they want.

When Delta Publishing and I set out to create this book, we began by asking instructors what they wanted to see in a TOEFL prep book that they had not seen in any other. They said they wanted a book that focused on questions that appear on the TOEFL, with a lot of material to choose from, discussion of tricks students need to know, and activities to build communicative skills--all delivered in a reader-friendly format. We have tried in our course book to give our users what they want. The book contains four full-length practice tests, 32 quizzes, and 2,300 TOEFL questions--enough material for up to 20 weeks of study. Both the computer-based test and the paper-based test are covered. Special features include interactive activities to extend skill practice, complete answer key and tapescript, and charts to monitor progress on all quizzes and tests.
