The book came in the mail early and in perfect condition. It came with a CD that is still sealed and it is clear that the book is brand new. Great doing business with you.

2010-05-18 Truly worth it! (5 of 5)
I highly recommend this book for those taking the College Algebra. I scored a B after using this book for two weeks - and it wasn't on a daily basis.

2010-04-22 Filled With Typos and Leaves Out Steps (1 of 5)
I purchased this book because it seems like the best source to prepare for the College Algebra CLEP test. You will need more study material to pass the actual CLEP test.
This book contains many typos, which are confusing, to say the least. Also, the explanation sections for each provided test leave out important steps that lead to the answer. In basic terms, the language and process goes thusly: This gives you this and then you get this which equals this (whatever the answer may be). You have to figure out the missing steps. So, you will need to have a strong understanding of algebra to fill in the missing steps.
There is a Math Review section, but it is not self-explanatory at all. Again, you'll need some previous algebra knowledge to learn the material. This section contains a lot of the typos. Equal signs are left out; numbers are transposed; wrong numbers are used in some equations.
This book was not proofread well and it is not a reliable source to prepare anyone for the College Algebra CLEP test.

2009-12-10 Clep College Credit in College Algebra (4 of 5)
This is an excellent reference for the College Algebra
Clep Examination. The volume explains what is needed
to pass the exam along with classic test taking
techniques. This comes from my personal experience in
teaching College Algebra.
Candidates must be thoroughly familiar with the following
areas:
o laws of algebra and numbering systems
o complex numbers, exponents, radicals and scientific
notation
o polynomials, equations, inequalities, absolute values
o quadratic functions
Candidates should have some familiarity with a scientific
calculator. i.e. logs, exponents, squares, roots etc.
Successful candidates should work all 3 exams in the booklet.
The approach toward problem solving and the math review
are invaluable for candidates seeking to learn the material
comprehensively. The volume is an excellent value for the
price charged. Taking and passing the CLEP exam in College
Algebra could be worth thousands of dollars for entering
College Freshmen (people).
