This book covers all areas that one would expect to be on the state exam....five years ago. Now, in 2005, I recently took the state exam and questions in this book are nothing like what is on the real deal. Reason being, is the book is traditional based, whereas you will be taking a CMS based test. The two are completely different and this book should NOT be relied on to accuratly portray the CMS based testing. Don't waste your money, find an alternate and more accurate study material.

Make sure you get a copy with UPDATES. Otherwise you might get outdated information. Don't substitute this review guide for hard study for the exam. Practice the excellent sample questions as many times as you can prior to the test. Study and test-taking tips are good. Discussion of the format of the exam is good. Needs to be updated re: App. and FDLE info via Internet.

I believe they have since changed the State Exam process/test since I took it back in 2001, but this guide certainly helped me. It asked far more and far harder questions than I needed to prepare for, thus making the exam so easy that I thought I failed it. I simply couldn't understand how I was able to complete the exam in the short amount of time that I used and couldn't believe the questions simply were not difficult. Not even a little bit.

I found a lot of useful question information, but this book is now outdated. Copy I received was in good condition but was from 1996.

If your planning to take the florida examination I highly recommend this study guide to assist you in your preparation. It covers all the necessary areas and provides questions to help you research the areas you need to have knowledge of.
