This review is from: Guide to Passing the Experior Real Estate Exam (Paperback)

In the my real estate school (Arizona School of Real Estate and Business), we were provided with more than enough study information and opportunities to review. Nevertheless, I felt the need to throw some more money at the process and went to Amazon and ordered the Guide to Passing the Experior Real Estate Exam. I looked through it a few times but found that the questions were remarkably exactly like the ones my school gave me to review. After taking the test I realized that buying this book probably contributed nothing to my passing of the exam.

I do not say all of this to say that the book is useless; it is far from it. However, I want to dispell the myth that you need to go out and purchase extra materials to pass the exam. I have since loaned my book to several licensees-to-be within our company and the book was much more help to them. This was primarily because I took the Experior exam immediately after classes, so the information in the book was something that I had immediate and more familiar access to within my study materials from school. However for the those who borrowed the book and proceeded to pass the exam, the book was helpful because quite some time had passed between their schooling and taking the exam.

The Guide to Passing the Experior Real Estate Exam is strong in that it has many questions to review and practice with AND it takes the time to explain the answers to the questions. Many of the answers are regretably short and not thorough, but many are very insightful into the questions that students have.

The faults of this book are not inherent to the book. The book accomplishes what it sets out to do very well. But the faults of the book are related to its relevance and necessity. Do not neglect the use of the materials provided to you at school thinking that the more money you throw at your real estate education the better you will do. It's generally not true. But if you are rusty on your knowledge and getting ready to take the exam or your school does not provide adequate study helps this book is a great option.
