This review is from: Audel Questions and Answers for Plumbers' Examinations (Paperback)

The Master Plumbers exam in Hawaii is a very poor test, This one book will not get you passed.
Hold this thought I'm a Licensed master plumber meaning I took the test in these other States and passed already, MP in Co., MP, NM, MP in AZ& Hi.. I ignorantly thought this one book & my 50 years of plumbing would get me passed NO, I had to take test twice to get a passing score, but the Hawaii test was written by an idiot that some one first knocked their brains out.
Do your home work, If you ask and discover fail rate is excessive, find a test prep class specific to your State, you'll be Money ahead. I don't wish to malign the book seller just help you pass exam.

This book will help every student to pass the examination due to it posts most of the question that have appeared in previous examinations but explained in detail. Every plumbing student should acquire this book. It is very helpfull due to it covers most of the aspects of the plumbing trade that will appear in the examination for the license. I personally, recommend this book.
