Title: How to Prepare for the ASVAB (with CD-ROM) by Barron's Educational Series ISBN: 0-7641-7511-4 Publisher: Barrons Educational Series Pub. Date: March, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.14 (7 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Tests on the CD-ROM are practical and effective.
Comment: The tests on the CD-ROM are practical and effective. Timing on questions and metrics displayed are useful to measure progress in learning. There is no other product on the market that can give you extensive training on the ASVAB tests like this CD.
I noticed that some users had issues with installing the product, such as Norton Antivirus terminating the installation due to the presence of a virus W95.CIH.Corrupt. After investigating I found that this is a problem with the Norton Antivirus package. Norton Antivirus 2004 or earlier versions, with current virus definitions via live update (virus definitions after August, 2003), is buggy and wrongly detects that an installation file is infected! This is what their expert support staff at Norton-Symantec told me.
Open up Norton Antivirus, click on Options, then on Auto-Protect, then on Exclusions, then on New, then in the Item text box type in c:\windows\system32\gsw32.exe and then click Ok. Again click on New, then in the Item text box type in c:\windows\system\gsw32.exe and then click Ok. Repeat this for the item under Options, Manual, Exclusions. Once this is done, the product will install and work fine.
Hope this helps. Good luck with the ASVAB!

Summary: Was a great prep for the real test
Comment: I felt that this book was given a few bad reviews, so I thought I would respond.
I would like to preface this review by saying that I have been out of High School for 5 years, so I decided I needed a "Refresher Course" on my Math skills. When I first became interested in the Military, I took an ASVAB practice test and received a 77. I then decided that this score would not be acceptable, so I decided to study for the real test. I "studied" (meaning I took a few of the practice tests) for about 3 weeks. I have to say that the practice test was much harder than the real test, and I felt very prepared for the Real ASVAB. Well, I took the "Real" ASVAB and got a 98 AFQT and a 130 GT. Needless to say, I was very pleased with how this book gave me a needed refresher to some basic skills.
I also wanted to respond to a previous reviewer that commented that "None of the practice questions were on the real test." It is supposed to be a preparation for the real test using SIMILAR EXAMPLES of the Real test questions, not actual questions. I did find a couple questions that were very similar to questions in this book, but that is purely coincidental.
Also, my copy did not have the CD-Rom, so I cannot comment on its usefulness.
I only used the part of the book with the Practice Tests, not the review sections, so I cannot comment on the other sections usefulness.
Overall, I recommend this title!
Good Luck to everyone who is interested in joining the Armed Forces!

Summary: Useful study guide -- but too many errors, and a virus on CD
Comment: This book was useful as a preparation guide for the ASVAB, but it was clear that the publisher didn't spend much time proofreading it. There were numerous spelling and grammatical errors, and the practice tests had several questions with wrong answers and/or bad explanations. In one case the question consisted of a statement and choices without any question! I expected better from Barron's. We didn't use the CD at all because we also had the virus problem mentioned in another review below.
