good review book to jog one's memory. Has basics - does not include many system topics- for example: some information on incontinence, a bit on UTI, a few sentences on failure. Handy dotpoints on exam pointers as well as tips for clinical practice.

Q&A is in a section at the back and is not delineated by system - all lumped together. This could work well if one were using the Q&A section to practice.

This book is good for practice tests but bad for review; however, you cannot really "review" literature so I guess it is still a good book. I would definitely recommend buying it if you're going to be taking the AP exam just to get some practice done, but it isn't the best for reviewing.

I skimmed this for a few days before I took the test for the first time and ended up passing with excellence after having been out of school for over a decade, so I guess it's pretty good. It's a good review of everything in all five categories, but I found that most of it wasn't really on the test. The economics and behavioral science sections make the book worth it. I watched a few videos (which were on YouTube for free, also) which were pretty worthless, as well as the "tips" the book gives.

Pros:  Small enough to carry in my purse and I have found that handy and nice to have.
Cons:  It only gives one line for each prayer with date.  I ended up ignoring the pre-printed lines and just write free hand.

Good review. Always good to have the actual tests to study off of! I would recommend doing an additional section from some other book while doing these preptest though because they only include 4 sections whereas the actual test would have 5 sections.

I thought that this book would be as great as its adult emergency partner of the same series, however, eventhough it contains some good information , I have not actually found the need to consult it in the shift. The knowledge in it is not too bad, but not as helpful as I thought when I decided to buy it initially. It is ok , not a bad item to have, but if you don't, you won't miss it.

This is useful and would like more substance to deem it a five star review.

I got this, for when I may need to break open one of my gadgets. This looks like it will come in handy but must tbe ussed with caution (it can scratch, should it slip).

Provides good overview of topics covered in exam
Not extremely detailed or thorough in all topics
Review questions at end of each chapter are too easy and sometimes down-right wrong or contradict the text itself
Exercises are too easy.
Overall, good review for exam; should complement another study guide.

My review is on the PSAT Prep Book 2016: Study Guide and Practice Test Review for College Board's New PSAT Exam.
I got this book for my son to help prepare him for his PSAT and SAT. Also in hopes to give him some idea what to expect. I found this book to be a good basic review/study guide. This book only has one practice test. Which I find disappointing. I feel this book needs more practice tests. I feel more practice tests would be beneficial in preparing one to take his or her PSAT and or SAT test. However, I do love the study tips and that answers with explanations provided in the back of the book. I also think this study guide may help the test taker to feel more at ease. Once again iI would say this is a good basic study guide. If your looking for something more in depth I would consider other books.

I received this product at a discount or free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I have no obligation to leave a positive review and do my best to give feedback that will be valuable to anyone considering purchasing this product. I was neither paid nor sponsored for my opinions and all thoughts reflected in this review are solely my own. I personally rely heavily on product reviews to determine which products I buy. Because I know the importance of honest reviews, I give my opinion based solely on my personal experiences with the product.

This book is decent for a few uses. It is excellent to use while studying for tests in the class, just to read what happened during an event from a different perspective, helped certain concepts and facts stick in my brain.

The MC tests are also useful for discovering time periods or concepts that you need more time to review. I did find that some of the MC questions were over topics not covered in the condensed review, or were terribly obscure, stuff that never appeared on the actual AP exam. It seemed like the practice tests featured some questions that were heavily into the minutia on certain events or concepts, while the actual exam had broader questions, even towards the end of the section.

The strategies for the written section are all right. It had some useful tips for the DBQ, but honestly, for the whole section, you can't BS your way through it too much, you either know your facts or you don't.

I think if I spent a lot more time reviewing in-depth a lot of the concepts and practiced writing the essays, I could have raised my score from a 4 to a 5.

Although, for some this might provide a little solace: I thought I did pretty good on the MC, and decent on the DBQ, the short essay topics were when I ran out of gas, one I wrote was 3/4 of a page, and the other one was possibly a little bit longer than a full page, and I still got a four.

Also, kill two birds with one stone and buy this book to also prepare for the SAT II US History test. The AP test was on a friday, and then the next day I had the SAT II history test, and I got a 770, so it helps to take them both.

I took the August 2012 MPRE and I passed with a 92. Although I'm happy that I passed, that mediocre score doesn't reflect the 20+ hours I spent preparing for the MPRE. This book is good for a cursory review. However, at least 25% of the material on the MPRE was not covered in this book (or the Barbri lecture I attended). I also used a Pieper book in my preparation. This book has both a brief outline and a full review. Both are straightforward. However, the questions do not reflect the material. Often, a question has two correct answers, but one answer is "better" than the other. I'm not saying not to purchase this. It is helpful. But if you rely solely on this book, expect to flunk the MPRE.

Nice, concise review but only review.  There's not enough instruction here to explain more than the most obvious things.  I also found quite a few typos, which at first were easy for me to spot but as the material became more difficult for me it was harder to recognize them.

I have not used all of them to give an absolute review, but till now I am satisfied with it and can give you a better review in the future.

small compact size but it can a bit overwhelming for some people. some info not included. good for intro to anatomy& physiology class (100) but not for just anatomy or just physiology. good for review!!

Thought it did a good job of general review for a book. I think that live classes are much better, but the book is able to cover more material.
