Summary: OK source, but only for half of the test
Review: As others have stated, I studied the book and knew the information fairly thoroughly. However, when I took the test, at least half of the questions dealt with subjects outside the scope of the book. I still managed to pass with a 55, but that still means I only correctly answered about half of the questions. The book seems to concentrate on helping you pass with a minimal score, as opposed to being a comprehensive review of the test material. What it covers it covers fairly well (although I know there are inconsistencies with the damages calculation), but again, what it covers is only enough to help you barely pass.

Summary: The Best Book for Clep Test
Review: I bought the book 3 months ago, took the test this month and got 60, passed the test. That was the 3rd time I took the test.Before the 1st time I took the test, I only had "Clep Test-Intruduction to Business Law"-a pink color book from Clep center with sample questions only,no any explanation. I got 48. Before the 2nd time I took the test, I read about 2 text books and wasted too much time, only got 43. Before the 3rd time I took the test, I read this book and that pink color book thoroughly, I got 60. I want to thank Mr. Thomas Orr. This is a very helpful book.

Summary: Minimal CLEP Help
Review: I failed the CLEP using this book. There was way too much information missing. Topics on Employment Law and Environmental Law were not even covered. I studied from Barron's Business Law before taking the test again, and passed. Barron's provides very useful examples and YOU SHOULD REMEMBER boxes that are very applicable to the test. You need to study more for this CLEP then the others. This was the hardest CLEP I have taken. Good Luck

Summary: Barely Passed
Review: I've taken the Marketing and Management CLEP Exams, and they were much easier than this. I don't know if I can blame it on the book, but many of the questions on the exam were not covered. I, however, do think it would be worth your time to buy the book, read it over a couple times, and take the test. I needed a 51 and got 53.

Summary: The Best Book for Clep Test
Review: It is clear and easy to learn, many helpful examples, especialy when you use it with "CLEP Test Preparation Study Guide" from NLC.

Summary: I really like this book
Review: No, the book is not perfect. Comex's review for Principles of Management it outstanding, giving all the information needed. This book is only half that wonderful. Like everyone else said, it only covers half of the information.
I passed the Principles of Management with a 72. I read this book 1 1/2 times, and sort of skimmed the Barron's Review and got a 56 on the Business Law. Same amount of prep time, but a much lower grade. This CLEP really is harder, I think because the study guides are not as good.
My advice depends on how much of a risk you want to take. I think I would have still got a 56 without the Barron's Review. If you want to pass the first time and be thoroughly prepared, read this book first then carefully read the Barron's Review.
If you do not want to over study and do not mind the minimal grade, try just using this book. It would certainly be faster. If you do that really know everything this book covers, and be prepared to have to take it again.

Summary: Okay book, but you will need the Barron's Review as well
Review: The book is very simple and has okay examples and a fair practice test. The material covered is not very deep, and it is probably barely enough by itself to pass the test. I read this book, did the test and I also read the Barron Review (the relevant parts), and got a 68.

Summary: A Real Disappointment
Review: This title covers only a feeble percentage of the material you need to know to pass the clep exam. If you rely on this book alone, you will fail. It is a waste of money.
