Summary: Not best book, but works 2005-07-25
Comment: I used only this book to study for the CLEP test and passed. This is the 5th CLEP test I have taken and it was probably the hardest, however I did pass it with this book. It does assume that you know some terms to start off with (I didn't have any knowledge) and so depending on how well you want to know the subject, I would recommend getting an additional book. If you just want to pass with the basics then this book should work.

Summary: Book not proofread and contains inherently conflicting data 2005-04-25
Comment: I have not yet taken the CLEP in this subject. Luckily, I also have Barrons Business Review. I also have 20+ years' experience working in a law office. This CLEP review book has typos throughout, which is irritating and reflects a lack of care. I also lost a HUGE amount of time on two final test questions in the book because the book says one thing on one page and another on the other. "Costs avoided" when calculating damages in a breach of contract are explained in absolutely contradictory ways between one place and another. I thought I was nuts and finally realized the book stinks. Also, when I began studying Barron's, I realized how much more will probably be on the exam (which from reading other reviews on this site appears to be true). I am studying Barron's carefully. My test is in about 3 weeks. Wish me luck! But this one by Thomas Orr is junk. don't waste your money unless your only goal is to have some practice exam questions (but watch out, cause some of the answers are WRONG!)

Summary: Minimal CLEP Help 2004-02-22
Comment: 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: I really like this book 2004-02-12
Comment: 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: Worthless Book 2003-07-09
Comment: This book was absolutely worthless! As a conservative estimate, this book may have covered one-fifth of the test questions! I have taken two other CLEP exams and passed them with 17 and 19 points higher than required (using only one book). I failed this exam by five points. You will definitely need additional study material if you purchase this book.
