5.0 out of 5 stars Buy The Book, March 3, 2005

This review is from: Plumber's Licensing Study Guide (Paperback)

The book is very comprehensive and gives a very accurate picture of what to expect on your plumbing exam. It makes learning the code fun and you will find out what you don't know quickly. Use it in conjuction with your code book to look up areas you are weak in. If you can answer eighty percent of the questions in the "Study Guide" correctly you will probably pass your test. It's the best book of its kind. FIVE STARS.

1.0 out of 5 stars Plumbers Licensing Study Guide / Has WRONG ANSWERS, July 28, 2010

Ok so the cost of your exam is not cheap. If you use the info. in this book you will fail. I suggest getting another book. The questions that this book has are helpfull, just dont pay attention to the answers in this book. There are several wrong answers in this book. I mean how do you write a book where you ask the reader hundereds of questions, provide multiple choice, and true false answers, and then give the wrong answer to your own question? This book will missguide you. I suggest buying another book! If you do buy this book, pay no attention to the answers. use the book only for the questions, and find the answers in the code book yourself. I promise, you will find several problems. I found over 15 wrong answers throughout the book before I decided to quit useing the book in it's intended context. I did pass my Masters exam the second time I took the test, without the help of the wrong answers in this book. if I could I would demand my money back! as a matter of fact I will be looking into that. I guess from the publisher or the author. Good luck on the test.

Good but didn't explain much of the stuff needed for plumbers license. I still think it is a great study material but wouldn't just count on it alone, I would definitely have another study reference.
