I found this book to be the best resource for getting my studying started and understanding the scope of all the exams. I also used a few Kaplan guides, which I found to be overkill. For a few of the exams, I used the specific Ballast books, but I only used them because I was able to borrow them for free. They were great as well, but provided more questions and exams than I could have ever found the time or desire to pursue.
If you're preparing to start taking exams, this book is the best resource, and will save you a lot of time. If you think you're weak in a particular area, use this book first, and then consider supplemental information/books from Ballast or Kaplan.
btw, I passed all my exams the first time around.

This is an essential resource for the ARE, but please be aware that the publisher PPI / Ballast sells this book directly [maximum list price is $240+s&h as of 12/10/2103] and it is almost always cheaper than anywhere else new plus there are AIA / AIA Associate member, student, and other discounts if you call and ask. Make sure you are buying the 2010 copyright since the 2007 book has older contract documents. Amazon's constantly fluctuating price and many sellers trying to recoup more than this study material costs do not make it easy to decipher what is newest and for the best price.
