I am not that impressed by the editing of this book and/or software that was included. Questions are poorly phrased, can not believe that the state would ever phrase their questions this poorly. Software in review mode when a question is answered incorrectly, the answer that it gives for the review portion is not very clear...gives the same answer whether you answered correctly or incorrectly...just overall could have been a lot better.

I recently changed jobs and need to learn about real estate, but I am not actually preparing for the exam. This book has been excellent in helping me learn the terminology and rules of real estate. As I am going through it, I find the questions to be clear and easy to understand. I know the questions will be different on the exam, but there are a wide variety of them so that has helped refresh me on some areas where I was a little weak.

The answer key also provides explanations for each of the questions so that the information is really clear.

There's not a lot of fluff or background. This isn't a training guide or anything like that...it's just a prep for the exam itself, but it has helped me.

OK, I have done a complete turn around!

I took the PA state exam THIS MORNING. I have used no other resource for the state portion of the exam. Nothing.

I hit a 90% for the state portion of the exam, so I basically kicked ass.

Here is the thing: As soon as you get this package, TOSS out the CD. Don't install it, don't use it, dont even bother. Like the other reviewer said, the question were very poorly phrased and quite irrelevant. JUST USE THE BOOK!

I did nothing but take notes on the PA portion of the book and started taking the manual tests in the book. Trust me, I just passed this morning and I am stoked! There is a very long test in the back of the book and that is all you are going to need. When I took the test at the state test site, the questions were almost identical.

The power of this package is certainly in the CD and NOT the book itself. The reason I say this is because if you are going to buy this item, you had better already have a decent understanding or real estate fundamentals as well as practice.

This item is strictly for getting ready for the test.

Having taken the PA RE Exam in the past, I can see how this is going to get me ready for it, and get me familiar with terms and laws, etc.

The reason why the CD is so good, is that the program itself has 12 practice exams and 1 math exam, both having thousands of questions.

The best way to get ready for and pass the test, is to take test after test after test until you are ready to breeze through the state exam.

Like I said, I have taken the PA exam before and the wording is not that much different, in my opinion.

For the money, this is well worth it. Keep in mind a lot of companies are going to charge you hundreds for basically the same thing online.

Good buy!

Do yourself a favour and make a HUGE circle around this.
The CD rhat is included is not only bad, its wrong.
English isnt my first language, but even I realize that
there are a LOAD of spelling mistakes, sense mistakes,
clear mistakes......left out answers, racial VERY suspicous questions
and answers.

Safe your money, please.

Unfortunately there are more of that kind of books out there.

This is awesome guide and CD practically all you need to prepare for the Real Estate Exam.I did all 12 tests on CD in three different modes one time each and i have Passed Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson License Exam from first time (Easy).But you still need to study before to use this Real Estate Exam Preparation Guide,so you would be aware what it all about.I have Passed-Good luck to you too.
