--Amazon Customer

"Great Practice Exam"
"...For me, it was difficult to not be overwhelmed by the amount of content covered by the Exam. This Mock Exam is the perfect tool to keep you focused on the content that matters and to evaluate what you know and what you need to study.It definitely helped me pass the exam!!"
--Michael Harvey ("Harv")

"One of the best practice exams"
"Excellent study guide with study tips, general test info,and recommended studyresources. Hands down one of the best practice exams that I have come across for this exam. Most importantly, the practice exam includes in depth explanations of answers. Definitely recommended."
--Taylor Cupp

"Great Supplement!!"
"This publication was very helpful in my preparation for my BS exam. It contained a mock exam, followed by the answers and brief explanations to the answers. I would recommend this as an additional study material for this exam."
--Cynthia Zorrilla-Canteros ("czcante")

"Fantastic! "
"When I first began to prepare for this exam; the number of content areas seemed overwhelming and daunting at best. However, this guide clearly dissected each content area into small management components. Of all the study guides currently available for this test - this exam not only included numerous resources (web links, you tube clips, etc..), but also the sample test was extremely helpful. The sample test incorporated a nice balance of diagrams,calculations and general concepts - this book allowed me to highlight any"weak" content areas I had prior to the real exam. In short - this is an awesome book!"
--Rachel Casey (RC)
