The CD companion is totally worth it alone.......2007-08-25
I don't really prefer kaplan's review text (the way the information is explained is to shallow/superficial for me), but I do have to say that the text is totally worth getting for the CD companion alone. Containing 2 CBT tests (with FANTASTIC explanations) and flashcards, the CD companion that the text comes packed with is totally worth the cash.
Excellent Study Aid for the MCAT.......2007-07-25
This book is excellent, I would recommend it to anyone who is going to take the MCAT exam, because this book is a great tool to help you tackle the exam. It provides you with helpful strategies, insights, and random facts that you need to know about the MCAT. This book is great.
AN AMAZING BUY!.......2007-07-23
i purchased this book at barnes and noble for almost double the cost and when i found it on amazon for much less i returned it. this is the most important book you will need for the MCATS by far!
Kaplan...worth 9/10ths of your penny.......2007-06-21
This is a ok book. It does not go into detail, whihc may be a good thing or a VERY bad thing, depending on how much help you need to the MCAT's. The book gives more of an outline of the important things without going into detail, whihc again may be good for sum, like me, but bad for sum1 who hasnt taken any science courses in a while. What I do with this book is usually use it as a reference to the princeton review material that I got from taking the princeton review course. Those books (princeton review) are just like the textbooks so you are getting TONS of info that is pretty much not needed and the books never teach you any strategies..the MCAT is not a MEMMORY test or else every1 with a 4.0 would get a 45..the MCAT is a THINKING test...so its not what you really know, it how you APPLY what you know...memorizing formulas wont do u any good if you cant apply them to the specified problem...so Kaplan is ok when it comes to giving "strategies" but if you want real practice..get the AMCAS exams and get EXAMKRACKERS VERBAL and BIO 1001 QUESTIONS those things are amazing! Hope this helps!!!
Very useful book.......2007-06-08
I really like the way the book is set up. It comes with a CD and an online program. You can take a diagnostic quiz to help determine what to focus on. Inside the book there are lots of useful tips on test strategies and there is material to help study for each section. Probably the best book out there to study for the MCATs. If you're going to buy one, I would definitely recommend this.

I was very pleased with the the ordering and delivery of Real Estate License for Dummies.
Solid reference........2007-07-28
If you're studying for a Real Estate Salesperson exam, this book will definitely help get you ready. While I also purchased another test prep book that focused specifically on my state (Texas), this book was equally and sometimes more valuable. Some of the explanations provided just the "tweak" that helped in comprehension. OBTW - I passed both the national and state by a large margin. :-)
Great book to familiarize yourself with the Real Estate Exam.......2007-07-27
Because I am a novice in the real estate arena, and know that I want to become a well rounded agent eventually. I found this book very informative in my preparation for the exam.

Guide to Passing the PSI Exam.......2007-08-23
Start at the beginning, answer each chapter as you go along, go back and do it again - you will pass the exam. It's great!
PSI .......2007-05-29
I got my PSI book in record time. I actually received the PSI book days before I expected to get it. The book was in excellent shape. I am very satisfied with the book and amazon.
A-1 Books.......2006-08-08
Great book, I had to use a friends book to prepare for my upcoming exam. I order this book via Amazon with sale via A-1 Books. Accordingly it was indicated as "in stock" and would be shipped within 2 days. I ordered the book on July 29th, received a e-mail from A-1 a week later telling me they are out-of-stock on this item and they expect it to be in stock in 3 days and I should expect delivery by the 17th, which is much too late. I considered what A-1 did to be false advertising, baiting and switching to steer me away from other vendors who had the book for sale and ready to ship. They knew they didn't have the book in stock, why didn't they update their Amazon inventory listing. It should be crossed referenced/verified before a customer's credit card is charged. Amazon is partially to blame for not monitoring the vendors they represent; and giving customer false expected ship dates. I will never order anything again from A-1 or Amazon. They didn't even have the common decency to offer me free overnight shipping for their mistake. That's not good customer service at all!!
Great Study Guide.......2006-03-10
I took the PSI Affiliate Broker exam for the first time and passed. This is a great book to review prior to taking the exam. I had a great teacher for pre-licensed 1 & 2 courses. However, I used the PSI book as a review. I took the exams in the PSI book which help me identify with my weak areas. I recommend this book for anyone who is about to take the PSI Affiliate Broker exam. Good Luck!!

Customer Reviews:
math review terrible.......2005-03-16
i agree with the original posting.
after purchasing this book,
it looks like the authors and editors failed to review their own work.
questions full of errors ( their explanations showed they transposed numbers etc.)
only AFTER one works thru the problem,
then goes to their explanation to find out the original question is not answered !
i would opt for a different book.
besides this book is too outdated !!
Excellent Book...If You Don't Look at Math Problems.......2004-11-01
I recently passed my Real Estate Salesperson exam. I used this book for review exercise. After reading the book I felt confident enough to tackle challenging questions. I was able to finish the national section with 20 minutes to spare!
Each section of the book has a glossary of terms and ends with a "False Friends" (a list of oft-confused terms) subsection. For those in hurry, the book has a selection of representative questions in grey boxes. Review those and you will have a feel for the questions on that section. There are a few separate review exams for salespersons and brokers. I found that questions were probing and required a good understanding of a chapter. Compared to these, the real text book end-of-chapter questions looked like kid stuff. The book is recommended for all those taking national portion of the real estate related exams, sales persons or associate/broker.
The book is not without its weaknesses. As alluded to above, the book does not touch state portion of the exams. But that is not nothing compared to its handling of math probems. The readers are advised to ignore the math section altogether. Questions suffer from inaccuracies (e.g. the diagram of two adjacents rectangles with equal width shows length of the bigger rectangle less than that of smaller one.) Explanations for math problems have so many problems, that after spending an hour on math section I decided to forget it (I found 8 errors in an hour; and I am not a math genius.) Sometimes it looked like a poor case of cut and paste: answer for question 7 contained figures from (unrelated) question 6! Still the solution would come out correct. On page 260, ten percent of 87000 comes out 8800. I could go on. I have returned the book to library otherwise I would have given more examples.
An email to authors sent a month back has gone unanswered. You go figure!

Questions and Answers to Help You Pass the Real Estate Appraisal Exams.......2005-07-19
Excellent review for taking the Real Estate Appraisal Exam, it covers all topics at the proper degree of difficulty.
I TOO USED MR. TIRONE'S HP-12C BOOK TO STUDY FOR THE EXAM.......2004-03-25
I purchased as much material as I could to help me through the appraisal certification exams, especially so to help me through the books I had to buy! It semed that I kept getting deeper and deeper with each book I purchased, the reviewed book included. I then saw one of my classmate's book on the HP12C, written by a Mr. John A. Tirone from Michigan. I purchased this book and used it to supplement the calculations in Mr. Fisher's questions and answers book as well as his Income Property Appraisal book.
The Tirone HP12C book was clear, comprehensive, and as said by others who have commented on Mr. Tirone's books, I was able to call him with questions on how to solve various income capitalization problems and also on how to fine tune my understanding of the Hewlett packard HP12C financial calculator. To my thinking, every appraisal text I have seen is deficient in assisting us students with the calculations on the HP finance calculators. Mr. Tirone's book and his giving no-charge approach to supporting his books and the topic are essentially lifesavers for most of us.
I used Mr. John A. Tirone's HP-12C Book to get me through th.......2004-03-13
I used Professional real Estate Propblem Solving using the HP 12C to get me through this confusing book as well as help me get through "G1" and "G2" appraisal's computations materials. What stumped me was the lack of clarity in the Fihser Tosh book as far as computations. for coverage of the HP12C it was a lifesaver to have Mr. Tirone's HP-12C real estate book. Mr. Tirone was helpful as several in our class called him for help while trying to absorb the confusing aspects of the Fisher/Tosh book. Mr. Tirone should write a book like Questions and Answers... or team up with the likes of the authors of the reviewed book.
One example in the Tosh book shows a calculation using a terminal value-sales price of $10,000 when it should be $100,000. This gave us fits and I could not figure the problem out until I called Mr. Tirone and he showed us how to do the problem.
Didn't feel like it helped much but I did pass.......2002-03-31
I was nervous before this test and I went through and answered every question in the book. The actual test seemed to ask significantly different questions. The result, however, was I passed with over 90 percent. Can you argue with that? It must have helped.
Don't waste your money if you already have the yellow book.......2001-08-26
If you already have the yellow book "Questions and Answers to help you past the Real Estate Appraisal Exams", don't waste your money purchasing the new book that was put out in 2000. It's the same book - just copy written in October of 2000. I made the mistake of thinking that there would be new questions since 1994, or the questions would at least be asked in a different format, but they are not. Word for word they are the same. So save your money if you already have the yellow book and just study it a little bit harder!

Very Helpful.......2007-08-03
I passed this exam after studying with only this book. There were a few errors in it, and some of the information is slightly out-of-date (e.g., the IRA contribution limits listed are a few years out of date). Overall, however, I found it to be very useful and well-organized.
Pretty good guide, not great.......2007-01-23
This guide provided me with a lot of useful information, however, there are some things on the test that could not be answered from this guide. I really like how options and bonds are documented. However, I did not like how market regulations and account set-ups are documented. Good luck if you're testing!
Errors on test exams.......2007-01-18
Generally good book, but be careful of errors. There are a number of errors in the text and in exam questions, for instance question 224 (exam 1), answer given is A, but correct answer is C by its own description.
I hope this wasn't a real test at one point.....
Errors in text as well.....
Example: Stop Limit Orders become Limit orders, not stop orders. i.e. will never become market orders....See SEC definition.
A head above.......2007-01-02
I used this book as a supplement to an online course, to fill gaps and to obtain a different prospective on the subject matter. I loved that it has no "water" in it, rather it is straight to the point, reducing study time, with great "Exam Topic" alerts and an excellent post-chapter summaries, which I used for the "morning of", last minute refresher. The books has good graphics, charts, appropriately used highlights (for good layout and text flow), making studying a breeze. I passed after 20 days of studying with 89% (possibility of attaining the same result is not implied or guaranteed hereby :) .)
Good Study Guide.......2006-03-28
This book was very helpful in preparing for the Series 7. My employer is providing a more detailed and comprehensive study program, but this book was a very nice additional prep guide. It covers the material that will be tested, has practice exams, and helpful tips for the test itself. I'm glad I bought it.
Average customer rating:
- Exceptional method.
- If you want to pass your Real Estate Exam, this book is a must have!

If you follow the text and answer all the questions as presented you can't help but learn. I am already licensed and use this as one of my first references. Tip, don't enter the answers to the test question into the book, prepare a seperate answer sheet. If you do that you won't ruin the book for futuer reviews.

I passed my test the first time. This book is smaller, easier, simpler, and straight to the point.It's very easy to understand.

I passed the salesperson test exam (general questions) after studying through this book! For the state law part I recommend studying through more specific books for your state. 100% of the questions on the general part of my exam were covered in this book. Great buy!

Extremely useful for learning the information needed to pass the real estate salesperson exam. Up to date and accurate text. Well written, user-friendly style. Questions and answers at the end of each chapter add to undertsanding and confidence. Outstanding glossary, great practice exams. All 5 stars are well deserved. Highly recommended.
Time for a New Editor.......2005-09-19
I made it through the first 50 pages of this book, after which I returned it because of the mistakes in its text and at times poorly worded review questions. For example, this book lists Washington state as a state that allows tenancy by the entireties, which is a method of property ownership by a married couple that is legal in some states (see pg. 48, 7th ed., copyright 2005). Washington state does NOT allow tenancy by the entireties as evidenced by my Washington state specific text book I received from the pre-licensing course I am taking here in Washington, "Tenancy by the entireties is not recognized in community property states such as Washington, and it has been abolished in a number of other states as well." (Washington Real Estate Fundamentals, pg. 31; 12th Edition, Copyright 2005; Rockwell Publishing). Dearborn Publishing also puts out a book entitled "Washington Real Estate Basics" which also indicates that Washington does not allow tenancy by the entireties, "Because Washington is a community property state, tenancy by the entirety is not recognized." (pg. 62, Copyright 2002; Dearborn Financial Publishing, Inc.). I believe this is a clear example of poor editing. It is one of many examples I could provide from this book. Pre-license books have a lot to say about real estate law and general facts about the business. It is imperative that the books are accurate for obvious reasons. While I'm sure much of this book is accurate, I have lost trust in the accuracy of the book which causes me to question every assertion it makes. In my opinion this book needs a better editor and perhaps more responsible authors, and then it would likely be quite helpful. Until then, you should be prepared to be at least partially misinformed if you rely on it for your pre-license education.
If you need books similar to this, Dearborn Publishing seems to have good books on the subject. For example, "Modern Real Estate Practice" is a great start. They also put out a study guide (lots of practice questions to test your retention) and an audio CD set both of which accompany this title and help one review the information (by the way, this is the only audio CD set I've been able to find on the basics of Real Estate; it is just a review of the material as opposed to indepth lectures, but that's better than nothing). They also have many pre-license books specific to given states. Amazon carries many of their products, but if you want a full list of their Real Estate books/materials, (...)visit their book store, then come back to Amazon to buy'm as chances are you can get them here for cheaper! Also, check the schools in your state that provide pre-licensing education (make sure to find a good school!), as chances are they will provide you with a text book that is accurate. Good luck.

Although I thought that this book was excellent in it's material, and I felt very confident using it for study prior to the exam, I still failed the state exam! It was as if nothing in the book was on the exam!! I have not yet found any other study guides to the AMP test that have been very helpful, so for that reason, this book is probably one of your best bets. Good Luck.
