5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pre-Asvab prep., January 16, 2002

By	"feyd_rautha" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

I have a mechanical engineering degree and recently decided to join the Army. I bought this book as a review for material which I have forgotten and as a reference for things i didnt know. The book gives a good overview about the structure of the asvab and what will be covered on the exam. It contains 3 or 4 practice exams for each of the 12 sections. This book goes beyond the call of duty by not only including a key to the answers, but explaining, for each problem, why one answer is correct and the others incorrect. What I found MOST helpful is the review sections which discusses in good depth the topics for each section. for example, it discusses all of the types of hammers, screws nails rivets etc that will be discussed on the exam. I didnt do any review for the auto, shop, and biologoy sections until the night before the exam. While I would not recommend this course of action, it, in my opinion, gave me exactly what i needed to know.
If you would like to quantify, how much the book helped me, take into consideration that i scored, with the help of this book and my prio knowledege, a 99 asqt ( the highest score possible on the ASVAB) a and a 128 GT compoisite. My recruiter has never seen anyone get a perfect score before.

By A Customer

I have recently decided to join the navy and I have studied for the Asvab with several other testing materials and I have found this one to be the most useful. I believe this book has closest to the actual test then any of the other books I have studied with. I would recommend this book as a study guide to any one thinking of taking the Asvab Test. With this book has your study guide you will be sure to pass the test with flying colors.
