5.0 out of 5 stars All You Need to Pass Principles of Management, October 12, 2002

This review is from: Review for the CLEP Principles of Management (Paperback)

First, I can say with 100% certainty that this book is suffcient on it's own to pass the CLEP subject exam Principles of Management. The book was my sole source of study material and I passed in the 80th percentile. I have never taken a business or management course before.

This book has been distilled down to contain only the information you need to know - there is absolutely no filler material. The entire book is 111 pages. Out of that, 85 pages are devoted to subject material and chapter tests and the remaining pages have two review tests. After the end of each chapter, there is a summary page listing important people and what they are noted for and a list of key words, phrases & abbreviations.

The practice tests are helpful. The answers contain explanations and although they are not nearly as comprehensive as the REA books, they are suffcient.

One last word...when I took the CLEP test, there were several questions pertaining to people and what theories they developed. They were in the book and I studied them, but would have probably gotten a few more answers correct if I had really concentrated on knowing it.

This is an excellent study guide for preparing for the CLEP exam Principles of Management.

5.0 out of 5 stars If only more CLEP study guides were like this one..., July 31, 2000

I studied this book and this book only for the CLEP Principles of Management Exam. I took the test about 3 weeks ago and received my score in the mail today. I scored a 70, putting me in the 99th percentile. The format is among the best I've seen for study guides. I don't believe I've ever learned as much in only 86 pages of text and review. I'm looking forward to the author's future works of this genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short and Sweet, January 1, 2000

This review is from: Review for the CLEP Principles of Management (Paperback)

This CLEP review is great especially if you're pressed for time. There are only six chapters-short, sweet and to the point. I'm a full-time student and work part-time, but I was able to read the book and take notes over Thanksgiving break and still scored in the 97 percentile! Everything you need to pass the test with flying colors is in this book. The information is broken down in a straightforward and logical manner and it's easy to understand. Plus, this book is much cheaper than some of the other books out there on the subject.
