After careful evaluation of the ASP Safety Fundamentals Exam Secrets Study Guide, I can confidently say that this book is an excellent resource for anyone preparing for the Associate Safety Professional (ASP) test.One of the standout features of the book is its comprehensive coverage of the topics tested on the ASP exam.

The book includes numerous case studies, charts, and diagrams that help to clarify and illustrate the concepts presented. Additionally, the guide contains a range of practice questions and answers that allow readers to test their knowledge and track their progress.One of the things that impressed me about this guide is the author's writing style.

Furthermore, the guide includes helpful tips and tricks for test-taking, as well as strategies for managing time and reducing test anxiety.Overall, I believe that the ASP Safety Fundamentals Exam Secrets Study Guide is an outstanding resource for anyone preparing for the ASP exam. It is well-organized, easy to understand, and contains all of the information and tools needed to succeed on the test. I would highly recommend this guide to anyone seeking to become a certified safety professional.

I just passed my ASP exam, and this book was the best study resource I used. Covers all the topics on the exam, and the practice test at the end resembles what the actual is exam is like. Some other study guides I used included the flash cards by Mometrix, the BCSP self-assessment test, and the ASP Pocket Prep app (I purchased the full version). Out off all these sources this book was definitely the best. The flashcards had a lot of good information, and was very similar to the content of the book. My knock on the flashcards were they had extremely long explanations, and did not really function as quick and easily summarized flash cards. The ASP Pocket Prep App was somewhere around $22-25 and had 400 practices questions that were very close to what you see on the test, and gives you good explanations on the question's correct answers. The BCSP self-assessment is not a bad tool but it is the same 100 questions, and does not give in-depth explanations on any of the answers. I wasn't extremely confident when purchasing the exam so I went with the exam bundle package, that includes 2 test attempts and the self assessment. If you do not purchase that bundle I would definitely recommend the Pocket Prep App over the BCSP online assessment.I did not attend any prep courses before the exam, and my professional experience is just over 2 years and has mostly focused in environmental regulations. My undergrad was in OHS, but it has also been about 3 yrs since I have complete that. I am currently in my first class for a MS in OSH/Envr Mng and what I have learned from that course has definitely help in preparing for the ASP. As far as studying directly for the ASP I probably spent 50ish hours in the week leading up to my exam, and it is probably not something I would recommend. For future certifications I will definitely give myself a month to prep to help reduce stress/anxiety heading into the exam.Hope this was helpful!

I haven't taken the test yet but as far as content, layout and organization, I give both the book and the flash cards a 4 out of 5. If I pass my test, I will update rating to a 5! I appreciate the section separations and obvious amounts of editing that has gone into the content (I've purchased study guides in the past that have atrocious grammar and were obviously not proof read).What would make this system a 5 out of 5 for me would be the following:1- make the flash cards less wordy; bullet points or 1-2 sentences are easier to commit to memory than full paragraphs2- add a "formula sheet" to the book; maybe a tear out page.3- move the math section towards the middle or back. Having it as the first part of this book emphasizes its importance but COMPLETELY freaks me out and I put the book down many times over the last few months because I couldn't face the math. I ended up skipping it and coming back to it.4- add a "blank answer sheet" that we can use while we take the practice test. It can be a single one pager with just a line next to numbers (ie: 1. __ 2. __ 3. __). We can photo copy and take test multiple times. This would cost nothing but add a lot of value

If you have experience in the HSE profession and want to prepare for the test, this guide is great review tool to help you get ready for the exam. This book will not replace experience or education, but it will help you to refresh your skills and get into the exam mindset. I primarily used this guide and passed my exam on the first attempt. Total preparation time for me was about 3 months. I found the math examples to be very helpful. I took the practice exam more than one time, once to benchmark myself, a second time after working through the guide. This helped me to really focus on areas where I tested weak. At some points the explanations in the book seemed somewhat vague/brief, but this helped me understand areas where I needed to do more work. The test taking strategies and techniques were very very helpful. I really did not notice or was not bothered by editing items.
