Toefl-iBT is a grueling exam..... you have to sit and give the exam for approx. 4.5 hours.....wid only one break in between..... i literally got a headache during the last section of my exam......so make sure that u give atleast 2 full length tests during your prep.
Practice is the key for iBT...you dont prepare for iBT from any book... u have to sit before your PC and give practice tests.
(Iam not 'that' fluent in english.... but am still able to manage 23 in my speaking section...one of the girls in my class got 119 on iBT(lost one point in listening) ... even she is not a perfect speaker... that's the difference PRACTICE makes to your iBT)
Tips for the exam day......
1)most importantly:do have a good sleep the previous night.
2)speaking section is immedeately after the break(after reading&listening) ...so if possible have some hot water in the break so that you can speak smoothly.
3)in the speaking section....if you get stuck up in between... and u still have a good amount of time left....try to continue your speech rather than ending up abruptly.....
4)if you have more points and limited time to speak.... make sure u speak all the important/logical points early in an organized way so that even if your time ends up... the evaluator still has a good impression on your response...
5)Even if you stammer a bit on your iBT speaking... its no problem upto certain extant... as long as you are able to convey the message to the evaluater effictively...occational stammering is condoned to a certain extant.
6)on your actual iBT, for writing section, you have a "word count" tool which counts the no. of words typed....they also specify the approximate no. of words an effective passage contains....try to reach/exceed that count...
