Not comprehensive, 2008-08-27
The book is well-written and is nicely edited, but it does not have all the information that you need for the test. The author is nice enough to list all the things that you SHOULD know, but does not cover all them.

This book should be used as supplementary only. The practice tests are useful, but I would advise you not to spend time reading the content, as you are guaranteed to have to read another book in addition.

A review from someone who actually TOOK the test, 2008-08-21
Excellent book that won't put you to sleep when you're trying to read 700 pages from Kaplan. Keeps it easy and to the point, great reference to go along with other materials.

And, yes, I actually took the test, and passed. Using this book.

Everyone knows you can learn a lot from the dummies series., 2007-12-23
To pass the test: Bonds, Regulations, Accounts, and a few minor others, but definitely in that series. But ultimately a series of questions, a pocket of information.
