Reader Reviews
This review is from: ASVAB for Dummies (Paperback)
If you read a "Dummies" book before then you know the format. The first part of the book is divided into lessons, then there are three sample tests in the back. I thought the lessons were good, but not great compared to some of the other ASVAB books out there. The book did a great job of telling you upcoming changes to the ASVAB as advertised. What really turned me off from this book was when I was doing the sample tests and there were a couple answers that were clearly wrong. For instance, the question for General Science was what Chromosomes does a female have. The answers in the back said "XY" while it should have been "XX". This was just one of a few I found. While the style remains the same as most dummies books, I cant recommend this to anyone based on the errors in the sample tests. If you dont plan on doing sample tests then this book might be for you.
