Hard time using this to study

I had a hard time using this book to study for the appraisal exam and didn't find it useful to me. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

PASSED BROKER'S W/88%(LAW) AND 83%(GENERAL)1st time

One example of this book's superiority is its section on mortgages, financing residential properties, and on possible forms of ownership. I have been in the real estate industry in one capacity or another since the early 70's and this is the best book presentation I've seen. It is concise, easily understood, but contains a lot of information. My only frustration with the book was that as it was not state specific, I had to rely on a local publication for that which was full of errors and inadequacies so I had to constantly also go to my law dictionary and business law book and text books from my paralegal courses to refresh my memory on details specific to my state. Granted, I may not be 'usual' as I am also a paralegal etc. but on the other hand, I only reviewed for parts of 2 1/2 days, so was relatively satisfied with my exam scores.

Outdated

This book has outdated materiel that is incorrect and may lead to possible wrong answers on the exam. The book is 5 years old and the laws regarding real estate have changed. Should stick to the newer books out there for exam review.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE FLORIDA REAL ESTATE EXAMS

THIS BOOK CONTAINS INCORRECT INFORMATION i.e. CH. 4 illustrates "Dual Agency " and Figure 4-2 has a dual agency form. Dual Agency has been illegal in Florida since October 1997.A Transaction Brokerage relationship requires "limited confidentiality" but there is no mention of this either. This publication requires and up to date edition.

Average review score:

does not track exam content

I studied this book religiously. I got no less than 90% correct on all the practice exams, and then proceeded to bomb the exam. Obviously the material does not track the exam very well. It's cheap, but its true value is even less than the price. Don't buy it. (On the positive side, it had some interesting discussions of the law; but it simply does not track the content of the exam.)

This book is unreliable

There are review questions which do not match the text in the chapters. I do not know whether to trust the content.
