Summary: Don't waste your money, I'm returning mine to the store
Review: I bought this book as an impulse at a book store, wanting to CLEP the English Composition exam. Unfortunatly, this book is riddled with technical errors throughout. I took the initial exam, missing several questions like I suspected. But the reason I missed some of the questions was because the answers were wrong. At page 62, I had seen enough errors to make me want to return this book. Don't buy it, try something else.

Summary: Shame on you Barron's!
Review: I bought this book for the English Comp. section. It contained so many grammatical and technical errors that I cannot recommend it. There were numerous typos, explanations for answers that did not even match the question, answers contained in non-underlined portions of the question, and a number of other problems. Unbelievable that all this is found in a book that is supposed to be used as a study guide for *English Composition*! I could possibly accept this obvious lack of proofreading in a Math or Science study guide (well ok, probably not). I cannot go on enough about how poorly done this was. Shame on you Barron's and the three authors responsible for the Eng. Comp. section!

Summary: How did this get past the proofreaders??
Review: I picked this up in a bookstore for my English Composition CLEP test, and got through four pages, finding three typographical errors in the example questions--before I realized that they were unintentional. Unacceptable, for sure.
