Industry Reviews

I have used the Tech Manual and I find all of it useful but I especially the review and ASE Test Prep questions. It provides reinforcement of the material they are learning.
The artwork, photos, and especially the illustrations are excellent. They explain the thought very well. The diagrams and exploded views of systems are easy to comprehend.
