Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: I studied from this book exclusively and passed the exam Comment: I see a lot of people who failed the exam with this book. Maybe I'm a rare exception but I used this book and passed the real estate sales exam. I will be taking the Broker exam next month and I'm going to turn to this book again. (By the way, its the same exam I jsut have to score higher) Customer Rating: Summary: Great Reference Book Comment: For those who are getting into the Real Estate profession or just want to know more this book will cover it. It include the sales aspect as weel as the broker license procedures. The book has 450 questions that you can review and answer. I find this a great reference book for taking the sales exam. Customer Rating: Summary: Not detailed enough for broker exam Comment: It might be great for the salesperson exam, but it just doesn't have the detail for the brokers exam. I have to take the test again. Customer Rating: Summary: Do Not Expect to Pass the California Brokers Exam By Reading This Book Alone! Comment: I just passed the California Brokers Examination on my first try. I am an attorney and have no real estate background and I do not have a real estate sales license. (In fact I hated Real Property in law school and avoid practicing in this area.) I read a few primer books including this one to see what would be on the exam. I read this Barron's book all the way through and answered all of the test questions. I the took the Real Estate Trainers Course in Santa Ana, on the advise of a girlfriend who is a broker and who took their course. They offer a crash courses in LA, Orange County and in Northern Cal. I took the course, read the big book they give you; did all of the exam questions (Over 1500); attended the crash course seminar twice and took the test. The courses and practice exams Real Estate Trainers gave, made the test easy. When I took the Real Estate Trainer's Course I realized that this Barrons book is only good to lay out the general areas that are on the actual test. However, you can not use this book alone to the pass the test. The questions in this book are too easy and don't reflect how hard the questions actually are. You can use it for general information purposes only but some of the areas in the Barron's book overemphasis areas that the actual test spends little or no time on. In that the pass rate for the exam is between 30 and 38%, I would prepare the best you can. Save your money and find this book in the local library and check it out. (Many libraries have it.) Read and take a brokers exam course. Customer Rating: Summary: Do Not Buy This Book Comment: Like the previous reviewer I studied this book in detail, took all the exams which totaled over 1000 questions, scoring over 90% on each exam and still flunked the Broker's Exam. This after having passed the State Bar exam for attorneys on the first try. This book did not cover even 10% of what was on the exam. I emailed the authors and they never responded. This book is a complete piece of garbage. You cannot count on it for anything.
