Conflicted Feelings I have conflicted feelings about this book. I bought it as a way to get my feet wet before I took my Georgia RE Pre-License class. I had heard from several real estate friends that I should expect to fail my state license the first time I took it. Being the good student that I had been in grade school and college, I didn't want that, so I decided not to enter into my class "cold turkey." I feel that this book did succeed in providing me with a basic foundation of what I'll need to know for my state license test.As many other reviewers have pointed out, this book covers a national look at real estate and state specific items must be researched elsewhere. That didn't bother me so much as Dr. Yoehel's "teaching style." I felt that the chapters were linear and straight forward, with the chapter review quizzes helpful. Dr. Yoehel's testing method was very much the "mad professor" though. I failed all four of the practice tests at the back of the book, scoring anywhere from a 63-68%. This shocked me quite a bit. I am a good student. I spent 6 months combing through the book, reading it cover to cover and making 800+ note cards to study. All but half a dozen of the test questions are trick questions and questions with two right answers, one just being "more right" than the other. I have not taken my license test yet (I will next month after my class), and from what I have heard there are a few trick questions on the state test. However, I found Dr. Yoehel's testing method debilitating; rather than building me up, he beat me down. A good teacher builds his/her students up, not breaks them down. So many of the test questions had NEVER been covered in the previous sections (example test 4 #96 was a math question he'd never gone over and didn't even use any of the formulas he'd taught in the book). This type of testing was discouraging, and now I am going into my pre-license class feeling worse than before. My husband, bless him, gave me a great positive attitude to look at the situation - that I know 63% more information going into my class than those other folks going in "cold turkey." Yeah, my husband rocks. As for Dr. Yoehel, I found myself flipping back and forth constantly, trying to find out where he'd mentioned some of this extra stuff and not really finding it. Frustrating. I get he's trying to challenge his reader with hard questions, but I think he went too far. I deducted a star for that from this review.The second star I dropped as an author myself. The number of typographical errors, especially in the practice test pages is inexcusable. It's like the editor gave up on that part due to lack of knowledge, to correct the errors with all the anagrams and such. The errors get more frequent the closer to the end of the book. Some examples: 1) pg. 349 test 3, question 99 had two "B" answers, 2) pg. 367, test 4, question 30 "The "cat" that I must paint my house white" "cat" was probably not the right word intended by the author 3) pg 371, test 4, questions 75 and 76, the answers are switched on pg 382 4) and the most inexcusable an incorrect answer entirely pg 365, test 4, question 18 - states that the answer on pg 377 is (A) that "Riparian rights involve large bodies of water like lakes" WRONG! Back in Chapter 6 pg 84 Dr. Yoegel clearly states that "Riparian Rights are the rights of property owners who own land abutting rivers and streams." The correct answer to #18 is (B) riparian rights. Finding an incorrect answer that directly contradicts what the author taught shatters my confidence in his testing ability. It makes me think I might not have missed quite as many questions as I originally had thought. Another review star deducted. I see that a new edition of this book came out this past April. Buy that instead. Hopefully, it corrects some of the blatant typographical errors in this 2013 edition.In conclusion, I am glad I read this book. I would do it again. Great practice. I hope my pre-license teacher will help out a more visual learner like me in the classroom. I'll update this review after I take my GA state test to let you know if I passed.So-so, decent information, but I learned more from ... So-so, decent information, but I learned more from my online course and from watching lessons from The Prep Agent on YouTube. I passed my exam on the first try using the course and the Prep Agent lessons.The price was great though and it was delivered promptly This book was okay. I purchased this and also the Barron's Real Estate Exam Prep book and I definitely prefered the Barron's book over this one. The price was great though and it was delivered promptly.
