Excellent resource

I have this book. While I have not taken the ASVAB, what I've seen of the samples in the book would indicate that criticism about incorrect answers is false. And I'm a pretty good test-taker.

Wiley has elevated their Dummies books by making their contents as accurate as possible. That is why Dummies books are used as classroom resources across the country and why I also use them when I need to get up to speed quickly, accurately and without unnecessary information.

excellent test prep

I greatly enjoyed the practice tests in this book. I always find that one of the best ways to prepare for a test is to practice similar tests and this book with companion cd gives you plenty of practice.

It is well written and reads more like a friendly conversation rather than a text book shouting facts at you.

No test prep book will ever give you all the information you could ever need to know, but this does suggest good secondary sources should you really need to brush up on some things.

Overall i would say that this book is great if you need to fill in some small gaps, but if you are looking for complete lessons, you might want to look for local classes(as the book suggests)

yes and no

I bought this book for my son as he wanted to study for ASVAB test and when I was helping him study by reading him the test there were many many answers incorrect in the back of the book. When checking to see if an answer was incorrect or correct there were lots of mistakes. I was aware of some of the answers and knew they were wrong, but if a person was in the dark about what the answer would be they would go on the incorrect answer. So, this is not a book I would recommend for studying.

Great High School review book

Being out of High School for a few years now, this book certainly helped get the review on the subjects I needed. I raised my ASVAB score at least 20 points. I'd say this book is certainly worth it if you need that refresher course.

THIS BOOK MADE ME QUALIFY!

Without this, I can assure you I would have had to wait an extra 3 months to retake my ASVAB for the United States Air Force.

For the price I got it for, it was well worth the investment and I passed it onto my friends and relatives interested in joining the Military.
