PASSED BROKER'S W/88%(LAW) AND 83%(GENERAL)1st time,
By Katherina Van Tuyl (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Prepare for the Real Estate Exams: Salesperson, Broker, Appraiser (Paperback)
One example of this book's superiority is its section on mortgages, financing residential properties, and on possible forms of ownership. I have been in the real estate industry in one capacity or another since the early 70's and this is the best book presentation I've seen. It is concise, easily understood, but contains a lot of information. My only frustration with the book was that as it was not state specific, I had to rely on a local publication for that which was full of errors and inadequacies so I had to constantly also go to my law dictionary and business law book and text books from my paralegal courses to refresh my memory on details specific to my state. Granted, I may not be 'usual' as I am also a paralegal etc. but on the other hand, I only reviewed for parts of 2 1/2 days, so was relatively satisfied with my exam scores.

No Help for AMP exam,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Prepare for the Real Estate Exams: Salesperson, Broker, Appraiser (Paperback)
I bought this book to study for the Illinois exam, which is administered by AMP. I am a licensed attorney with a background in real estate law, so I figured the exam would be a breeze as long as I read this book carefully. While I passed the exam, I was not happy to see the breadth of topics that turned up on the exam that were not even mentioned in this book, and also chapters of this book that were irrelevant. A lot of the uncovered material was general Real Estate law, and was totally ignored by this book. I would spend your money on something that focuses on your specific exam, Borders had several books that focus specifically on the AMP test and looked much more in line with what I saw on the exam. Also note these books don't cover state law at all, you have to buy another book for that, or try printing out all the statutes and using them.

Hard time using this to study,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Prepare for the Real Estate Exams: Salesperson, Broker, Appraiser (Paperback)
I had a hard time using this book to study for the appraisal exam and didn't find it useful to me. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
