It's difficult to describe in polite language how bad this book is. It is full of typos and leaves out a lot of critical information. When you are tested, you will come across numerous important terms never mentioned in this book, especially regarding regulation. The online prep test is just as bad. Again, there are numerous typos, awkwardly worded questions, and even better, questions with incorrect answers. The questions in the test bank were clearly generated by computer and not proof-written. Some of the test questions are such a jumble of words and grammar they make no sense at all. There are many duplicate questions. Also, the practice questions are too easy; the level of difficulty is much higher on the actual exam. As an industry veteran I was able to muddle through and pass the exam despite this book, but a newcomer will be woefully under-prepared if this terrible book is their only study material. This is a very expensive book, but the editors of this book and prep test should be embarrassed regardless of the price. Please don't buy this book. One other note: the title of this book is updated every year to reflect the current year, so whenever the title changes, all the prior bad reviews go away. Go look back at the reviews for the 2015 edition and you'll see similar comments to mine. I wish I had done that.
Background info: Having worked as a Futures Trader outside the US, I wasn't required to write the Series 3 exam. Recently, I applied to a few futures trading positions in the US and thought it would be a good idea to write the exam just in case. Aside from the regulation chapter, I was already familiar and comfortable with the concepts explained in this book.Book review: It's a good book overall. It explains concepts well without over-complicating them. However, for the price you pay, and the fact that they release a new edition every year, it's such a shame that there are errors in the book. I'm not talking about grammatical errors or typos because that's not the end of the world when you're reading text book material; there are complicated concepts that the book explains incorrectly! To be fair, there are very few of these errors, but there shouldn't be any at all! Even one is too many. If you don't have a strong background in Futures you will not catch these errors, and if you do, you will waste valuable time questioning yourself and making sure you are right because the book says otherwise.Overall, I still recommend this book. It's a bit pricey if you buy the paper version, so I bought the kindle version. I enjoyed reading it and it explains concepts clearly (except for the few errors I mentioned above).
