3.0 out of 5 stars Maybe JUST enough to pass...., June 1, 2004

If you go through ALL the questions and try to relate the answers, and you have general knowledge of how money works in the US, you may be able to pass. Technically, the book DOES deliver what it is supposed to, which is a ton of sample questions and answers that have appeared on previous exams. If the author went one step further and provided EXPLAINATIONS to these answers, I would have definetly given it 5 stars. I used this and REA's Money and Banking and I scored a 48, which is the minimum passing DSST score. The only reason why I even bought this book was because there wasn't an 120collegecredits.com guide for it yet.120collegecredits.com is your best bet for study guides for the vast majority of your clep/dsst/Excelsior exams. Visit the website for more details and good luck on the test. BTW, I already sold my copy of the rudman book, sorry :(

2.0 out of 5 stars Not much help for the banking-impaired, August 16, 2006

If you know nothing about money and banking, then skip this book! This book works well for people who are already in the banking business and is familiar with the terms and definitions of the money and banking world. I ended up buying the actual textbook to study and understand how to pass this Test. If you're in the banking world, then go for the book. If you're starting out as clueless as I am, don't bother....get the actual textbook and study that instead. Or better yet, ask the advisor if you can take a different test.

1.0 out of 5 stars To find out what to use to pass this test, READ!, May 31, 2003

This review is from: DSST Money and Banking (DANTES series) (Hardcover)

I read the entire study guide, I even typed out all the correct answers and studied this outline for 3 days straight. I also looked up any definition I couldn't find in this study guide in one of Mishkin's money and banking textbooks and still ended up with a 48 (fail).
This book is OK, but is really only worth about 15-20 questions in the actual test. Go ahead and procure a Financial Institutions Teacher guide, one with all the sample test banks in order to be more successful on this test.

DO NOT USE THIS BOOK ONLY OR YOU WILL FAIL.
