Don't Waste Your Time or MoneyNov 09, 2009
I have to agree with the 1rst reviewer of this product...I took the HVAC exam 10/2009 and failed. I decided to purchase some study material to prepare me for the second go and so I purchased this book. One would have to believe that i have an advantage here becuause i've seen the direction which the state of California has taken in their exam and I recollect a good portion of the question enough to say that if i saw similar questions they would jump out at me....Nope...not with this study guide. with the exception of some familiar charts and diagrams the material is bad. The questions are no where similar or remotely close to what was on my exam, the information provided before every practice exam is minimal and then they go and throw in some true and false questions that are useless because there are no true and false question on the state exam. if that isn't a dead give away
The book gives tips and information about taking the exam and mentions that we are asked to mark our answers by completely blackening the answer space...WHAT?
This book must be outdate by eons because everybody knows that the exams are on computer not on paper...
Take my word for it this is a complete waste of time and money i'm sending my copy back as we speak...

Definitely NOT a good Study GuideMar 12, 2008
First, the book comes with an Errata Sheet for all of the answers that are incorrect in the book. Second, I'm going through this book and second guessing myself on answers, having to go pull resources, because there are even more incorrect answers. They should have gotten it together on the first pass or at least made sure the second pass was correct. You will not master anything by reading this book. Each section is totally lacking in information about the subject matter. The only way that this book can be used as a study guide is by using the questions that are in it and looking up the answers on your own because you can't trust the book. It was a waste of money. I would have rather paid $100 for a good book than the $30 I wasted on this one.
