Product Description
Here are understandable explanations of subjects related to business law and the legal environment. Separate chapters discuss the origin and nature of law, contracts in their many forms, negotiable instruments, banking procedures, types of business organization, legal definitions of crimes and torts, the concept of property, environmental law, labor-management relations law, intellectual property and computer law, and more. Business Review books are designed for classroom use, but are also valuable as self-teaching volumes for businesspersons engaged in various fields. When used in college business courses, these titles make fine supplements to main textbooks. Instructors in adult education and brush-up programs often choose these books as their main classroom text. Each title includes review questions with answers.

 Business Law Review October 2, 2008

This book is outdated but if you get the more recent version I think it would be ok.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 August 21, 2008

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!
