2.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Lackluster, August 14, 2003
By Turner Hopkinson (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ASVAB for Dummies (Paperback)
I am sorely disappointed by this book.

I don't know what the other reviewer was doing when he actually read through this book but I found countless, and I mean a SUBSTANTIAL number, of incorrect answers in this books prep tests. The amount of factual errors, typos and flat out incorrect information contained in this book makes me wonder if it really was written by a "Dummie". On top of this everything contained inside the book is stuff you would have learned in the first year of high school if you paid any attention what so ever to your classes.

To top this off and prove how serious I am about informing you guys/gals not to even contemplate putting your money forth to purchase this book -- I made an account on Amazon.com solely so I could express my distress at this poorly written piece of literature.

2.0 out of 5 stars Few Errors, January 21, 2004
By Chris (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ASVAB for Dummies (Paperback)
If you read a "Dummies" book before then you know the format. The first part of the book is divided into lessons, then there are three sample tests in the back.

I thought the lessons were good, but not great compared to some of the other ASVAB books out there. The book did a great job of telling you upcoming changes to the ASVAB as advertised.

What really turned me off from this book was when I was doing the sample tests and there were a couple answers that were clearly wrong. For instance, the question for General Science was what Chromosomes does a female have. The answers in the back said "XY" while it should have been "XX". This was just one of a few I found.

While the style remains the same as most dummies books, I cant recommend this to anyone based on the errors in the sample tests. If you dont plan on doing sample tests then this book might be for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful!, December 4, 2003
By Michael Lichens (Eugene, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ASVAB for Dummies (Paperback)
This book has been a great help! In less than two weeks of studying I was able to raise my score on the USAF's practice test from a 36 to a 59! My recruiter was fairly impressed. I am still studying and believing I could do a lot better, but it's helpful to have this as a study aid. Everything is written in plain English and has a quirky sense of humor to it. At times I noticed some editing errors in spelling and what not, but nothing to make me want to go on a crusade about. Find the standard study aids as well, but I reccomend picking this up and then heading to the authors website at http://usmilitary.about.com where there is some helpful info on military life in general. Good luck!
