This Delmar ASE A5 Brakes Test Preparation book helped me pass the ASE exam with room to spare. This should be used as a supplement to pass the exam not as your primary brakes textbook. The book has solid review material that is identical to the required knowledge outlines on the ASE website. There is fantastic information about ASE test question structure and how to go about giving yourself the best chance at answering each type of question you will encounter on test day. I don't quite want to say trick questions but they are tricky and thanks to this book I was calm and prepared for each type of question and knew how to go about attacking it most effectively. There are also 6 practice exams that have the same layout and question types as the real ASE exam as well as having an effective way to link back to which section a particular question was derived from. In other words if the ASE outline says 8 questions will be about disc brakes and 6 will be about drum brakes the same will be true on each of these practice exams. Since the answer key points you back to which section the information came from what I did was over about a 2 week period took all 6 practice exams and then totaled up all of my missed questions to see which sections of the outline I missed the most questions from. So I was able to clearly see almost 50% of my missed questions were relating to drum brakes so I knew my most effective thing to study would be drum brakes. I found the practice exams in this book to be a little harder than the real exam. I never scored better than 70% on these practice exams, I scored 84% on the real exam. Ive just started working with the Delmar Electrical ASE book and it seems just as effective. Great product and well worth the price.

I'm an automotive tech student and wanted something else besides my school book on brakes to study with for the my ASE brake test. This book covered some of the basic stuff out there and the way it worded each question was right on with the ASE test. There was even some question that were right out of the study guide! Lots of practice question that really help you get ready.There is no way you could just study this book and pass. But for those of you that are in tech school and/or have some prior knowledge on the whole automotive brake system this book will help on troubleshooting questions that are not asked or talked about on some books.Oh, and I passed my ASE test on brakes. Yahoooo...

I used this book as my primarily preparation to take an ASE test for the first time. I had already taken automotive classes at an Education Cultural Complex (part of San Diego City College District), then worked in the industry as an auto mechanic for two years. There were no exact matches to questions in the book that actually showed up on the ASE exams. By using these practice tests as a guide to see where I was weak worked out pretty well. When I had problems answering questions, I would resort to my text books or other sources to beef up my knowledge. I felt that this book worked for me using that approach to prepare for the exam. I also felt that my knowledge as a mechanic increased. I passed the exam easily. I don't believe that this book alone is the silver bullet to pass an ASE exam. It is a great tool to use in order to see where your knowledge stands. I even purchased practice exams from ASE and only one exact question showed up on the test. There are some quality control issues such as questions that don't have the correct illustration. There is one or two like that per book.

Yep, it's a book. It has a cover, the pages turn, the ink was shaped into words, I'd say it's pretty good. Content is on topic too, for those not into humor. Piece of advice though, if you're a first time buyer of Delmar prep guides, read the first few chapters carefully. They tell you how the ASE is made, graded, and composed. More importantly, they tell you how this very book was set up so you can actually make use of the resources included. I didn't read them at first and thought it was just a bunch of tests to practice with, but after rereading the instructions, these books group the questions into the tasks that ASE uses and has quick rundowns of the task material. If you do poorly in one particular task, this helps focus the help you need on that task without having to read up on the entire test topic.

I like the Delmar ASE test prep series books because of so many test prep questions in the book. Less theory and more test questions.I need to get in to the rhythm of the ASE tests and these help every time. I am A1-A9, L1,L2,X1 certified. So yes, they helped me pass all of the tests. Thank you Delmar.

Worked for what I needed it for. You will have to have some hands on work in the field to understand everything. Don't just count on this book to pass use everything you can find and your prior knowledge and you will pass

Although this book does help you prep for the ASE test . none of the questions and answers are exactly the same as the actual ASE test , and only about 10% are slightly familiar. So if you’re thinking about memorizing all 270 questions in this book to pass the ASE test ( like i did ), you could be in for a disappointment.Luckily I passed the test by the skin of my teeth but next time I’m either going to go with Mitchell or pay ASE for their Official ASE Practice Tests online. Good Luck!
