Good Math Section!
I am a bit surprised some rated this book so low.I haven't taken the State Exam yet, but I have just finished a Real Estate Principles class at a local junior college.
There are four sample exams. I have found the questions in the book to be a little on the easy side compared to another exam preparation disc I acquired. But they are good review, and there is a middle section that is a mini-refresher course on real estate principles. I found the refresher quite helpful.
The best part, if you are math-challenged like myself, is the math review section. It lays out how to do math problems (even with a calculator) in as concise and clear a way as I have ever seen -- percentages, fractions -- assessment, appraisal, insurance, commission, etc. And it also has a "short cut" that I have never seen before but which works everytime. I am now confident that can do most of the math problems that will come up on the exam. A feeling I did not have before.
If you want to cover all bases exam-question-wise, it's probably best to have at least two sources of practice exam questions, this, and another book or disc.
But, for me, the math review section alone is worth the price.

The Best Book Ever!!!
This is the best book I have ever purchased from amazon.com. In fact, I'd say it is the best book I've ever read, hands down, even better than Tropic of Cancer. I bought it for my daughter Sandy, whose dream is to become a real estate agent, and she almost passed the exam. If only she had spelled her name right, she would be the best little real estate agent west of the Mississippi!

Don't waste your dollars
I didn't buy this book, not knowing the quality of the materials and saving ... Instead I borrowed from a public library. I spent innumerable hours studying and scoring 80% of the questions provided, including the useless CDROM. But I failed the exam. Some information is rather defunct and confusing. I personally don't recommend this title, and it needs to be taken off shelves. Similar Products
