This book proved useful for the practice/project management type exams, but I found it lacking for the site analysis, design, and construction focused exams. It’s hard to replicate the amount of puzzles and more interactive questions on the real exams in a practice test format like this.

I did still use these practice tests at some point for each exam to find gaps in my studying. Reading the full explanation behind the answers (and whether your choice was right or wrong) is key.

Decent content, but has some incorrect information and a lot of irrelevant information. It's just OK but worth adding to the study pile.
