 Shame on you Barron's! January 1, 2004

I bought this book for the English Comp. section. It contained so many grammatical and technical errors that I cannot recommend it. There were numerous typos, explanations for answers that did not even match the question, answers contained in non-underlined portions of the question, and a number of other problems. Unbelievable that all this is found in a book that is supposed to be used as a study guide for *English Composition*! I could possibly accept this obvious lack of proofreading in a Math or Science study guide (well ok, probably not). I cannot go on enough about how poorly done this was. Shame on you Barron's and the three authors responsible for the Eng. Comp. section!
 Don't waste your money, I'm returning mine to the store April 28, 2002

I bought this book as an impulse at a book store, wanting to CLEP the English Composition exam. Unfortunatly, this book is riddled with technical errors throughout. I took the initial exam, missing several questions like I suspected. But the reason I missed some of the questions was because the answers were wrong. At page 62, I had seen enough errors to make me want to return this book. Don't buy it, try something else.
How did this get past the proofreaders?? April 4, 2002

I picked this up in a bookstore for my English Composition CLEP test, and got through four pages, finding three typographical errors in the example questions--before I realized that they were unintentional. Unacceptable, for sure.
There are too many typographical errors in this book September 27, 1999
This book has too many typographical errors. I used 3 books,Cracking the Clep(Princeton),Clep English composition(Comex),and Barrons. The first two are GREAT books that provide the background(nuts and bolts)needed to pass the english test. Barrons has plenty of sample questions,but lacks english grammar review material. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
 Too many errors spoil this work. August 22, 1997

Barron's, a noted name in study aids, has slipped with this book. As one example, the English Composition trial test contains enough typographical errors to sway my test results by nearly twenty points! For someone trying to honestly evaluate whether or not to take the CLEP rather than the actual course, this is wholly unacceptable.I sincerely hope that this editorial carelessness is corrected in future versions, and that future editions are up to Barron's normally high standards.
