CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.0 based on 2 reviews)

Good review of basics  
I bought this book, studied it, then took the EPA test and was universal certified. My average score was 94. The book's strengths are the many practice questions and practice exams in the appendix section. The questions did a good job reinforcing the reading material. The only drawbacks are some of the date and regulation (DOT and CFR) questions. I had only a few date questions and no regulation questions on the EPA test. I also think the book could do a better job explaining low pressure systems such as chillers. Overall though, I'd say this book did a good job preparing me for the EPA exam.

Good Basic Test Cramming Guide  
This book is written specifically to help you pass the exam. It's probably possible to pass the exam using only this book.

The book is user-friendly, and full of practice tests, as well as a complete closed-book simulated exam. But the book is not organized real well, and it repeats some questions. You should know the answers to those questions well enough. Just hope they are repeated again on the real exam!

Overall a good basic guide to passing the test. Not a manual for refrigeration repair.
