 | Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com | Titles in BarronÂ’s Business Review series are widely used as classroom supplements to college textbooks, and often serve as a main textbook in business brush-up programs. Business Law focuses on the importance of legal theory in the everyday business world, explaining such subjects as tort responsibility, government regulations, contracts, environmental law, product liability, consumer protection, and international law, among many other topics. Also discussed in detail are the legal aspects partnerships, franchises, and corporations, and special topics that include business crimes, property as a legal concept, intellectual property, and similar pertinent topics. A study aid labeled Key Terms appears at the beginning of each chapter, and You Should Remember summaries are strategically interspersed throughout the text. |
Average Customer Rating:   Great Resource for CLEP & DSST I bought this book to prepare for the CLEP exam: Introduction to Business Law and the Dantes(DSST)exam: Business Law II. It is a great resource for both exams; if you can only but 1 book to study for either test then this is the book!
I passed both exams with high scores, thanks to this book. I agree with other reviewers that you should get a copy of the exam outlines as that really helped me to focus in on what I really needed to know.
If you are buying this book for the CLEP exam, you should buy or download the Official Study Guide from the College Board. I had at least 5 questions on my exam that were taken right out of the book. Also, I used the questions in the guidebook to determine areas in the Barron's book that I needed to spend more time on. I highly recommend taking the Business Law II exam shortly after you take the CLEP exam since some of the information overlaps.
For the Business Law II exam the majority of the questions are situation based, so you need to know how to apply the principles of the law. Lots of wordy questions which require you to watch and manage your time carefully.
In total I spent about 15-20 hours preparing for the CLEP; I spent an additional 10 hours to take the Dantes exam.
Business Law Review The transaction was very smooth. The book arrived in a timely manner and in the condition promised. Waste of money and outdated This book is outdated but if you get the more recent version I think it would be ok. The questions are tricky and they don't give you enough scenarios for you be ready for those questions. Buy this book for the CLEP exam I bought this book to study for the CLEP introductory business law exam after reading the customer reviews on Amazon. I agree with most everyone on here that this book is a good resource and will help you pass the CLEP exam.
The only problem I saw with the book was the order of the chapters. Specifically it didn't really define Torts until chapter 19 and yet the term was used several times in chapters 4-6 comparing Contracts to Torts. An oversight by the authors (and editor) just assuming that every reader already knows what a Tort is in detail. Do yourself a favor and read the Torts chapter before you get to Contracts.
[...] They also sell a practice exam that is useful to help you get used to the types of questions and the wording of the questions. I memorized all of the questions and answers to the practice exam. There were about 4 or 5 questions from the practice exam that were exactly the same on my CLEP exam.
I recommend you read these chapters from the Barron's Book: 1-9, 13-16, 18-20, 22-24, & 26. In addition make sure you know the 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Definitely know all of the stuff in the boxes labeled "You Should Remember", as well as the bold words throughout the chapter. Also answer all of the questions at the end of each chapter.
I studied about 2-3 hours a day for 6 days straight and passed. It is a timed exam so be cognizant of the amount of time remaining during the exam. I almost ran out of time.
Don't underestimate this CLEP exam, it was fairly difficult and there is a lot of information to digest but this book made the process easier. If you don't pass the exam you have to wait 6 months before you can take it again so be prepared! great job had no problems with this order, got the book on time and it was in great condition |  |
