Could someone recommend to me a few study resources to prepare for the DANTES Business Math examination. I've downloaded their study guide and most books they recommend there seem to be out of print(I did a search at Amazon) and they are pretty expensive too, being about $100 each. I also remember reading somewhere that there is a series of books that cover all DANTES exams but don't remember the particulars. Thank you, Dennis Siemens
Try this (these).... Your referring to Jack Rudman'ss Passbook Series. The consensus, as well as my experience, is that while they are better than nothing, they are worse than anything else! Although I've not taken DANTES Business Math, there are many textbooks, most very long. The best short version might be Business Mathematics: The Easy Way, 3/e by Calman Goozner, Kalman Goozner. However, the even briefer, Quick Business Math: A Self-Teaching Guide by Steve Slavin might be better, even though it may not be as thorough or complete. The Self-Teaching Guide series by Wiley is, to my mind, one of the best published and is often my first choice. It's merits are concision, competeness and authority--what else do you need? --Orson
Thank you very much, Orson. I just did a search for this books on Amazon and they are all available and pretty much affordable to boot . Dennis Siemens
