Summary: 5 Stars
Ok guys I flunked the test the first time. I then got serveral books and finding out what they really are this is the book you need to be studing. Every question that is on the test is in this book. It took me only 45 minutes to take the test. Folks get this book, read it well, study it and you will get high in all the areas like I did. ...Book Review: Densely packed with information
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is just the right mix of information and brevity. It covers a lot of material but does not go into unnecessary depth on anything; it simply tells you what you need to know for the national exam.Organization is very good, and it covers all of the basic areas with all of the essential information. Topics that my school didn't cover in enough depth, for instance taxes, were dealt with well in the short sections on business practices.
The quiz sections were for the most part accurate depictions of actual exam questions.
The book has a couple of minor deficiencies. One, as another reviewer noted, is that there isn't enough information on Chinese medicine, compared to what is actually on the test. Another problem I have with the book is that while it covers a lot of diseases, they are perfunctory descriptions at best. But not much more is needed for the massage exam.
I took the massage exam and passed with flying colors. I studied using this book, "Massage National Exam: Questions and Answers," and "Illustrated Essentials of Musculoskeletal Anatomy," along with a medical dictionary.
Book Review: This is the MOST useful NCBTMB book of them all!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was GREAT for review. Now that I took and passed the exam, I think that just memorizing the contents of this little book may have yeilded a passing score, except there isn't enough on Oriental Medicine, a meridian chart with some famous points would have made this PERFECT. THere's plenty of room in the margins for notes to fill in the blanks where information is incomplete. Many of the questions in the review did turn out to be on the test.
