Many of these books were generated by AI from scraped or pirated content, then published under shell author names. Their reviews are often inorganic. Their materials are often wrong. Before trusting any insurance exam prep book, verify three things. How long has the publisher been in business? Is there a credentialed reviewer named in the front matter — with a verifiable credential, not just a name? Is the author responsive to reader feedback and reachable directly via email? You can verify all three for this book.Print only — by designOur books were repeatedly pirated and fed to AI tools to generate competing slop. So we decided: all new and updated editions are paperback only. Legacy Kindle editions from before this policy remain available; every annual update and every new title from 2025 onward is print only — to protect the integrity of our material and the value of your investment in passing the exam.If you don't pass on your first attempt using this book, email us.
