So I've finally been able to shake off the lethargy induced by a week of Viral and Home Cooked food and get back to work, studying and blogging.
:)
STUDYING being the key word here, My friends mostly ask me for information about various exams and stuff and I keep asking around too. Today I'll put it all in a lucid format for you to peruse.
Hope its helpful!

TOEFL:
What you require:
- The Official TOEFL book.
- Any Audio lessons on vocabulary building. Also watch as many Hollywood Movies as you can( If Mom stops you, tell her its for the listening section :D)
I have personally used the two, the Word Master is available from other sources (*wink*) if you're creative enough :)
TOEFL is nothing but a simple test of English. Really, it requires nothing but confidence and gut-judgement.
The real daddies are the CATs and XATs of this world that pose questions that neatly take out your middle stump.
In India, its "ibt"- an internet based test.
The breakup is as follows:
- Reading-60 to 100 mins and 36 to 70 questions
- Listening-60 to 90 minutes and 34 to 51 questions
- Break of 10 minutes
- Speaking 20 minutes and 6 tasks
- Writing 50 minutes and 2 tasks
It may have changed but the last time I checked, this was the format.
There is this site Toefl prep material(free) and its an official place for it.
There is also a call centre service for Indian Test Takers: 000-800-100-3780 Toll free
