Summary: Everything In Life Should Be This Useful!
Review: $16.95 for the book, $30 to the test site, $50 to CLEP, 64 for a Final Score. It would have been higher had I not been studying for 3 other classes. You can also use the staffing(Human Resource Management) and controlling(Production/Operation Management) to review for other test. Very valuable!More than anything, this book saved me Time, something you can never get back. Your time and money will not be wasted.

Summary: Needs an update, but still wirth the money
Review: 6/29/02 I needed Principles of Management for a prerequisite to get into an MBA program. Took the test 3 days ago. Several questions on the test, especially relating to people who'd developed theories, were never covered in the study guide. I think they probably need to release a revised edition. The study guide still describes the test as a #2 pencil, color-the-ballons test. Today it's on computer. I liked the short, direct-to-the-point format of the book. I read it once, working all the problems as I read. Then I read it all again and reviewed the questions before taking the test. I was told that scores range from 20-80. Mine was 78. I don't see why anyone would take a college course when they could buy this study guide, spend 8-10 hours studying, and then pass the CLEP.

Summary: All You Need to Pass Principles of Management
Review: First, I can say with 100% certainty that this book is suffcient on it's own to pass the CLEP subject exam Principles of Management. The book was my sole source of study material and I passed in the 80th percentile. I have never taken a business or management course before.This book has been distilled down to contain only the information you need to know - there is absolutely no filler material. The entire book is 111 pages. Out of that, 85 pages are devoted to subject material and chapter tests and the remaining pages have two review tests. After the end of each chapter, there is a summary page listing important people and what they are noted for and a list of key words, phrases & abbreviations. The practice tests are helpful. The answers contain explanations and although they are not nearly as comprehensive as the REA books, they are suffcient. One last word...when I took the CLEP test, there were several questions pertaining to people and what theories they developed. They were in the book and I studied them, but would have probably gotten a few more answers correct if I had really concentrated on knowing it. This is an excellent study guide for preparing for the CLEP exam Principles of Management.

Summary: Easiest credits I've ever earned.
Review: I listened to all of the other reviews, and they were dead on. I read it 3 times in a week and got a 72 out of 80 on my first CLEP attempt. A tip, I did not do very well on the practice tests; the real test is actually easier (at least it was for me). Good luck. This is a great tool.

Summary: If only more CLEP study guides were like this one...
Review: I studied this book and this book only for the CLEP Principles of Management Exam. I took the test about 3 weeks ago and received my score in the mail today. I scored a 70, putting me in the 99th percentile. The format is among the best I've seen for study guides. I don't believe I've ever learned as much in only 86 pages of text and review. I'm looking forward to the author's future works of this genre.

Summary: Helped me out
Review: I took the test the first time and failed. Six months later I bought this book and took the test again. I passed with flying colors. I recommend reading this review so you will pass the test on the first try...unlike me.
