I found this to be a very typical study guide - matching vocabulary, true/false, multiple choice, and a couple fill-in answers. It was useful as a review to the text to make sure I knew what the concepts were, but the SPHR exam goes beyond knowing the concepts to being able to combine and apply them. I would recommend this in conjunction with the text for a good review, but you will need to have a much more indepth understanding of the concepts to pass the exam.
