Epa Certification Exam Preparatory Manual for Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Technicians: Federal Clean Air Act Section 608 5th Edition

This is the booklet that our instructor required us to have for our HVAC class at Ozarks Technical College, in Springfield, Mo. It is well written, has a lot of information to cover for taking your Core, Levels 1, 2 & 3 exams. We made 296 flashcards from the questions/answers, studied these for 2 months, then took our in class paper test. I passed with a 96 (missing one (1) out of each category. So, now I am a certified, universally licensed HVAC tech. This book helped me a lot, without a lot of extraneous fluff that fills out a lot of textbooks. I highly recommend this book. ENJOY!!!!!!!

I’ve bought this for a friend who needed a push to get his license and my license friend said this is a great book so I did good and yes it helped him a great deal to get his license

This seems to be everything you need to know to pass the certification. I took a sample test on ESCO's website and did alright with just a brief scan of the material. I cannot comment on the study guide's effectiveness for the an actual exam, for the job for which I applied turned out not requiring the certification. Therefore, I never took the actual test.

I used to have a copy of this at our counter at the Supply house I worked for. Very much just the facts and dry about them. Should be a good starting point for an apprentice to start to ask questions for HVAC/R.

This is dense text. Best to study in chunks over a period of 20-30 days leading up to the test. If you invest the time the certification exam should be no problem. Unless you have prior HVAC regulatory training you should not expect to pick this manual up the night before the test and pass.

This was nothing but rip off. This was a just a nice looking cover and few pages with some tables. Did not provide any help or advise in the subject at all and no return.

NOT everything you need to know. While I did pass the test for all three sections and core (i.e. Universal), I would say this book is really only 85% what you need. It is absolutely worth buying, but they need to focus more on the vacuum levels that need to be achieved. The actual dates were not tested such that you were quizzed what date any particular restriction went into effect. At least not on my test... Though the test did have some dates. I would have given this four (4) stars being it is worth 85%, but it claims to EVERYTHING (i.e. claims 100%) Hence, I reduced 1 star because this is incomplete, and the other star for misrepresentation.

I ordered this despite the study guide our teacher gave us. Yes it is older but it less pages with majority of the same stuff as the new one and its less simple. My epa exam was 100 questions and i passed with 96 right and only got four wrong. Easy simple book
