Not impressed
Went from the Lindenburg general book to this. This book is less organized, applicable knowledge seems less condensed. As you'd expect with this increase in volume the entropy also increased.

If you are taking FE exam in Industrial Engineering this ...
If you are taking FE exam in Industrial Engineering this is the right material. I found this book after a third trial. I couldn't find books that cover all topics in depth before. Make sure to check things because it has a lot of typo error.

Wrong answer
I can believe a book of 90 dólars can be like this, how I'm going to study if the book it's wrong???

Good broad review - but lots of errors in solutions
On it's own, this book was not sufficient to prepare me for the exam in terms of practice questions. Too many typos and errors in the solutions, made me doubt myself and doubt the validity of the solutions I didn't know any better that could've also been wrong. However, overall, it did cover SO much content and nuances that were good to review. Organization didn't match the reference book, but the organization of this manual in itself made sense.

Don't waste your money
Several errors found throughout the book. They say errata can be found on their website, but when you go to the website it does not load and all you can view is the home page. A lot of answer explanations are not helpful as they just plug and chug into equations and don't explain why or where it came from

Avoid this!
Unfortunately, this book has so many errors. I bought it because it was the only review manuals I could find that was published recently. Problems I noticed are as follows:1. There are many typos in the book. Words are spelled wrong, chapters are mislabeled, etc.2. There are several problems where the solution clearly is wrong. For example, they use different information than is given in the problem. The problem is that the answer choices go with the numbers they used, not the ones given in the problem. There are other problems where they just did things wrong. Sometimes, assumptions are made with no basis from the actual problem.3. The content in the book makes no sense. Why would you have such a large portion of the book dedicated to Engineering Science when it has the least amount of questions on the actual FE. Engineering science is 5-8 questions on the FE and 183 pages in this 430 page book. Engineering Science has 136 practice problems in this book. Engineering Economics is 10-15 questions and there are 11 pages in the book and 10 practice problems. Anybody else see the problem?4. The practice problems aren't very good. Beyond the fact that several are wrong, they tend to either be way too easy or over-complicated. I don't need ~10 probability problems that are super basic and worked the same way.Overall, I don't recommend using this book as your main studying tool. The information contained in the chapters IS useful, but is way too detailed on Engineering Science and not enough on all the Industrial Engineering topics. This is my first review, but I HAD to let people know.Note: I didn't purchase this product on Amazon. I bought it on Brightwood Engineering's website (in case you were wondering why it isn't a verified purchase).

Good vut not great.
The info is good but they messed up small things. Like the table of contents doesn't match any of the pages in the actual book and lots of spelling flaws and syntax issues. Make sure the solutions are correct by checking forums online.
