ASE Test Preparation - A4 Suspension and Steering (Automobile Certification Series)

The delmar books are very useful. The most useful of any test prep I have found. I have now taken 4 ASE tests and used a Delmar book for each one. Each test I passed on the first try. The practice questions are worded and structured very closely to that of the ASE test questions. I like the fact that for every question, you get an explanation of why the answer is what it is, and why the wrong answers are wrong. This is very helpful when grasping the material. Passing an ASE test is not about memorization. Is about understanding the principles of auto repair. If you have no experience or understanding of the basic principles of auto repair, this book will probably not provide the edge you need to pass. But if you do have experience, and understand the basics, this book will probably be the edge you need to pass. As always high quality and very informative Delmar 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.

If you read the textbook part of it, it’s about 35-40 pages it gives you a lot of information. Then you take the practice tests in the book, with answers and explanations in the back. You are well prepared to pass. I’d focus on the alignment and correction questions. That’s where I had a hard time.

The book was pretty helpful, however was not my sole bit of study material. I used online practice exams, and did some extra studying

Information in the book is very beneficial for taking the ASE test.

I would agree with a previous reviewer that this book is not for someone who is new to automotive repair and looking to actually learn how to work on automobiles. There are absolutely NO pictures which go along with the information, so again, if you have not worked on certain parts of an automobile before it may be really difficult to visualize what the information is explaining. In this case there is another test prep book called Motor Age which does a much better job of explaining the material and providing pictures to go along with the information. The good thing about this book is if you have worked on automobiles for sometime and are comfortable with the parts you may come across then this book may be superior to the Motor Age book because there are more test questions. Also, next to each test question the Task List Item is shown. This is very helpful because if you get a question wrong you can easily refer back to the appropriate part of the book to review the information. So again, if you have worked on cars for a long time and do not need any sort of visual aid to help you prepare for the exam this book is good. If on the other hand you want a more detailed explanation for each Task List item and visual aids the Motor Age study guide is superior. *Edit* Okay, so I just took the ASE A4 test today and this book was actually quite valuable because of all the test questions. I highly recommend using this book and the Motor Age books together. The numerous practice tests included in the book were really worth the purchase.

Probably the only book in the series that is remotely on point with the way things are actually done.

I like how the book walks you through theory then tests and then answers while explaining why the answers are right or wrong
