I bought this study guide to prepare to get my journeyman license in multiple states.This study guide seems very thorough, but I will have to update this review once I'm done testing.The most frustrating part of this, is that the dang thing doesn't come with any answers. Those are located at one particular site, at an additional cost of $20. I decided to pay for them, and downloaded them. However, it comes in the form of a protected PDF and cannot be printed, and can only be accessed while logged onto the internet. I travel a lot, and would rather just print a copy and take it with me so I can study whenever, while not having to drag my computer around.I would not recommend this to anyone, unless you are willing to sit in front of a computer, in which case you might as well do an online prep course.
This study guide seems to ramble, covering topics before fully defining or explaining the topic(s). Also, it is filled with questions following each chapter, but you are required to purchase an "Instructors Guide" (CD costing over $100.00) to know if your answers are correct or not. Most study guides include the answers to questions in an appendix or at the end of each chapter. This guide is helpful but lacks clarity and completeness and requires extra time checking answers to topic questions.
This guide did help me pass a test that I hadn't taken in over 10 years. It has a large amount of of information. Now for the bad news. It's full of typos and inaccuracies. And, no answers to the numerous practice tests. The answers, it seems, can be found on some kind of instructor's CD that doesn't sell nor is available directly from the publisher. What I finally found after searching the publisher's poorly designed web site for quite some time was a download of the answer keys for a yet another $14.95. Overall, not a good experience.
This book is very good, I have been used it for almost 4 months and I have learned alot with this book. it takes you step by step on each of its chapters with Tips, problems and quiezes. IF YOU WANT TO STUDY FOR JORYNEYMAN'S TEST THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU.
The book came in great condition although it did arrive late. This was bought as a gift for someone so I am not sure how useful it is for someone.
