What others are saying about ARE Mock Exam series…




“Great study guide…”

“This was a great resource supplement to my other study resources. I appreciated the mock exam questions the most, and the solutions offer an explanation as to why the answer is correct. I will definitely check out his other ARE exam resources!UPDATE: Got my PASS Letter!”

—Sean Primeaux




“Tried everything 4 times before reading this book and PASSED!”

“I had failed this exam 4 times prior to getting this book…I had zero clue as to what I was doing wrong. I read Ballast, Kaplan and random things on the forum but for the life of me couldn't pin point where I was missing it until I read THIS BOOK! Gang did an excellent job…I remember...reading Gang's book and saying Ohhhh like 4 or 5 times. I read his book several times until I became comfortable with the information. I went in on test day and it was a breeze. I remember walking out of there thinking I couldn't believe I struggled so much before. The tips in here are priceless! I strongly recommend this book…”

What others are saying about ARE Mock Exam series ... (Part II)

"This book did exactly like the others said."
"This book did exactly like the others said. It is immensely helpful with the explanation...There are so many codes to incorporate, but Chen simplifies it into a methodical process. Bought it and just found out I passed. I would recommend."
--Dustin

"It was the reason I passed."
"This book was a huge help. I passed the AREs recently and I felt this bookgave me really good explanations for each answer. It was the reason I passed."
--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)
