Only purpose is to scare you. 
I took a review class and did lots of practice problems on the Transportation area of emphasis. This book was bought to see if I was ready for the test. I could hardly answer any of the questions! They were all very tricky. It made me wonder if I'd have a snowball's chance on the test.
Well the test was much easier than 90% of the questions in this book (as another reviewer sort of noted). I certainly wouldn't try to use this as a study guide as it only "teaches" its own twisted questions. I would give this book away now the test is behind me, but no one would benefit from it, it would probably only frighten you! In general its meant to sell to panic-y test takers like me who want to cover all the bases.

Good Practice Problems 
The problems in this book are all qualitative. The solutions in this book show possible errors that can occur when solving the problems in addition to the correct solution. Below the problem is a "hint" to help you get started in the right direction. I didn't use the "hints" and didn't find them to be effective for my learning style. The problems are more in-depth than those found on the test but the idea behind this material is to introduce the student to the concepts found on the exam and improve your solving capabilities in a limited amount of time. The book doesn't teach you how to solve a problem in 6-minutes, which is what the title leads to believe.

Great workbook... 
A great workbook to help along with the P.E. exam; however, it is a brief review, and you'll probably need other books to complete your review, especially if tranportation is your cup of tea for the afternoon session.
The book is probably enough to cover the morning breadth session - but for the afternoon, I'd look into additional review books.

Great Study Guide
This has been a good study guide for the PE. I haven't taken the exam yet, so I don't know if the study guide actually helps. It's easy to carry around though compared to other study guides, so I tote it from home and work each day.
