Ordered these to get a little in depth coverage of this particular ASE test. I am pleased with the coverage of material and the presentation. The only draw back to these would be if you aren't already very familiar with the work, and if you are a "grammar nazi" because there a few typo's and it may sound silly, but they distract me the first read through. Not a big deal, just saying.

A very useful resource to pass the A8 exam. Read the book then take each practice exam. Make a list of the questions you miss on each exam and here's that list of questions as an extra exam. Many of the questions found in this book actually appeared on my exam.

Great price and alot of questions. I passed the test. Most of the questions were relevent for the ASE test but there was new information on the ASE test that the book didnt cover. Such as VVT variable valve timing. The book also talks a lot about spark plug wires and single coil ignition, thats been out of use for 20 years. I bought the book used and I feel like it was worth it.

After taking the ASE Engine Performance ASE test, I failed it by four questions. I will have to retake it in a few months. Nevertheless this book gives you a great addition of knowledge to add on preexisting knowledge. If you are planning on getting this book without any prior understanding of Engine Performance and just passing the test, forget it. The fact is that most of these questions will not be on the ASE test. There are 300 practice questions in the book. A lot of them are good for info. And some of them are not even worth looking at. Common sense questions that you will never see on the test such as " what is the first step in the diagnosis process ". Knowledge such as this is basic and there are a few questions like this in the book. But trust me, they will not be on the actual test. There are a few areas it falls short at. But again with such a large amount of questions and explanations, you learn quite a bit. So I would not give it a bad rating. One area it falls short in is scan tool diagnosis. Such as live data diagnosis. Even though I was already prepared for these kinds of questions, it was not thanks to this book(I studied various online practice and study test). In this book there are few scan tool diagnostic questions that involve interpreting live data. But on the test, you are bound to see at least 4 or 5 questions about interpreting live data. Another area it fell short in to me was Emission controls. There was not enough thorough symptom and diagnostic info on the EVAP system or questions. I was seeing questions such as " a customer complains they cannot fill the gas tank pass half full ". There is no info on this kind of symptom in the book. Of course I dont know if that counted towards my score, but there were two similar questions like this one. So I feel it should have been covered. The Engine Performance ASE test has a lot of diagram questions. So I also feel that there should have been more of those in the book instead of putting those simple ones. Electrical diagnosis is one of my weak points. And there are a few questions on this, but I feel there should have been more. Last but not least there are some disputable questions and a couple of small errors. Im not going to go over the small errors I found. Regardless of the cons, for the money it's well worth it to increase knowledge and understanding of this subject. I would definitely recommend it to anyone planning to take the ASE test. And I will buy the other versions as well. In fact I bought the Engine Repair version and I passed that test. But of course Engine Performance is a bit more advanced.

I tried this test 3 times and failed, it was the last one I needed to be master level. I liked this study guild the most because of the sample questions then the correct answer and the explanation of why it's that answer. Ase tests are all about the best possible answer and if you read the questions right and know how to fix vehicles you will pass my 4th time taking this test after reading this study guild I passes with 50 out of 50

Delmar study guides are the only way to go for ase testing. I even used a older delmar book for one test that I bought 6 years ago and still passed the recert. I plan on keeping my delmar library of books for many years to help me maintain all my certifications
