This review is from: California Real Estate: License Preparation Text (Paperback)
This book is a rigorous study book. And it is a lot less expensive than taking a cram course. It is the only thing I studied and I passed the first time!! Now I just wish there was a companion book for the Broker's exam!!!

This review is from: California Real Estate License Preparation (Paperback)
Prior to taking my California Salesperson exam I took all 8 classes that I'll need for my broker's license. Each of these classes was a correspondence course and each used books by the author Huber, sometimes with co-authors. I thought these books were very poor and have written so in a few reviews. After having passed all 8 courses I thought all I had to do to prep for my salesperson exam was review my notes from those books. (I had to create my own outline of the material because I found those books so confusingly organized.) Luckily a few days before my exam, I was at my public library and thought I'd look to see if there were any exam prep books. I found this book my Pivar & Mackenzie and took it out. Good thing I did. I really only had a Sunday and a Monday evening left to study for the test, but I read through the Pivar book during that time. It was well organized and clarified some material that I previously didn't understand because the material in the Huber books are so poorly written and presented. Even more importantly, the Pivar book included a lot of material that I had not seen, even having taken 8 classes. The practice exams in the Pivar book were also very good at forcing one to understand the material. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go through many of the practice exam questions before my exam.
Well, I passed my exam yesterday. As I was taking it, I was shocked by how many questions I would not have understood if I had not read through the Pivar book. This book is very well organized and well written. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: California Real Estate: License Preparation Text (Paperback)
I baught this book at first just so I can see how I would feel about getting into real estate. Let me tell you, I studied the book, took the C21 course (we went over the same material that was in the book but rushed through it in class)then took and finished my state exam in a little over a half hour (3-31/2 hour test if I remember correctly). Believe me when I say, this book helped me a lot. I don't think I would have past the state exam with just taking the crash course. I have been in real esate for a year now :). Thank you, Mr. Pivar
