This book is excellent in providing information such as formulas, scenarios and even mechanical aptitude. BUT, and its a very big BUT!!!!!! This book gives sample questions to each category it describes, then it posts the answers at the end of each sample question area. This is all great, RIGHT? Wrong!!! The answers that it gives to the sample questions are WRONG!!!! Okay...not all of them are wrong, but to have even one that is wrong is horrible. This book is supposed to guarantee at least a score of 80% on the exam or your money back. I found at least three wrong answers already in the mechanical principles area. Don't get me wrong, at first I was trying to believe that the book was right and that I was wrong, but after further reviewing and looking over the same problem over and over, I realized that they are wrong. One of the answers even contradicts itself. These are still good questions, so if you want to know what types of questions are asked on the test, buying this book won't hurt. But just don't rely on checking your answers with the answer keys at the end of each test. Have someone else who really knows what they are doing check them if you can. All-in-all, I am really mad at the people who were supposed to edit this book. They should give the lousy ten-dollars back to everyone who bought this book, regardless of their score on their exam.

This book was a little helpful at best. There were so many grammatical errors, and just plain wrong answers. I would not recommend this book, and I think the person who wrote should have spent the money to have the worked checked. A mistake here and there... no problem, but this thing is riddled with major errors.

Unfortunately most of the practice tests contain errors in the keys and answers. I do not recommend this book.
