I feel that this is an invaluable study aid. It will be good for it's intended purpose once I take the test, but, for now, I am using it to show myself where to concentrate my studies. I can get lazy and that would lead to studying the things I already know... beacuse that is easier. Using the Gleim book shows me... as an old Fire Captain of mine once told me... that I don't have any idea what I don't know... Now I do.

Sporty's sent the wrong issue.
Pros
Probably, the book I received will be helpful in the coming year. Also, they did credit my account for the cost of one of the two books I received. I was amazed they didn't credit me for both because they were not what I ordered. But since I can probably use it later, I accepted their decision.
Cons
I ordered the 2011 Gleim test review book, but received the 2012 version. The picture and description of the book on Sporty's site was of the ... 2011 issue, but I received the 2012. So I tried again with another order, and got another 2012 version. They did finally credit me for one of the books, but I was still unable to find the version I needed, and they could not provide it. I am borrowing one from another student for another few months until I can use the 2012.

Sporty's Response
The 2012 version is the most current, and is the one you should be using. We always want to ship you the most recent edition, and that's the reason for the 2012. You do not need to wait for that to become effective.

Great review book for the written test. Has info sections then questions with explaned answers.

The pages are alittle thin and you have to be careful not to rip or be hard on it. Most of the review answers are good, but a few here and there are not so good at explaining the answer to the question.
