5.0 out of 5 stars Life Saver, August 21, 2006

By	Robert E. Rodarte "Licensed broker" (San Jose, California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In regard to "Exam Cram, Life and Health" I would recommend this book to my adult children if they want to pass the California exam. In addition to being a great test preparation book, I was able to get my computer to read the book to me, by using Adobe and Microsoft text-to-speech programming, which is free to the general public. This book was much better than the text provided by the school. It even includes information needed to open my own business.
Good luck, Bob.

By	L. Murphy (Washington State) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It coverd the same stuff as my course material, but in some cases it was easier to understand and it had additional test questions included to help me study. I passed the test the first time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful., January 6, 2008

By	K. Feldman (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I decided to make a career change, I didn't have the luxury of taking a lot of courses and time to study. I needed to jump right in and start working as an assistant. I couldn't without my Group 1 license. I finished the book in one week, practiced the tests on the CD and passed the exam the first time.

The book is an easy read, although there are a couple of technical areas which could use a little more depth. The chapter tests help point out areas to review and the CD was a big help going back over the entire book.

All in all, it was worth the price.
