Respiratory Care Exam Review: Review for the Entry Level and Advanced Exams Paperback – 1 Nov. 2009

This review book really helped me in my studies for CRT and RRT. Though not as detailed as some, it covers all the main points that you need to know. Especially helpful were the practice exams and clinsims, which you have total access to as many times as you wish. I would suggest taking them only in test mode to really get a feel for how the actual test will be, then going back and reading through the explanations of each answer at the end of the test. Yes, it's time consuming, but this is what will really help you to learn. Of course, now that the boards formats have changed, I suppose this edition of the book will be considered outdated, but even so, the material is still excellent and I would highy recommend it.

This is such a great review tool just before your registry exam. Although it is american, but the questions are similar to your registry exam. I highly recommend this book.

It's a great review book. Not as detailed as Kettering, but I didn't like Kettering because it was overly detailed and hard to read. I highly recommend this book if you are looking to refresh your knowledge or just to review. This was all I used and it helped me pass my CRT and RRT first time around. I personally found what helped me the most were the practice exams. It was easier to learn from answering wrong cause it pointed out my weak points and told me why the right answer was what it was which further my instigation to learn more in that area. I would highly recommend buying the Kettering tokens to take their practice exams as well. I didn't do it, but I know it would have helped me in my test taking skills and management.

The Best on market!

Bought this for the new 2010 RRT/Clinical Sim information. I am extremely annoyed that it DID NOT COME WITH THE CD-ROM!! As to other reviewers saying this book is incorrect; depends on how you look at it. The NBRC exam is flawed, so this book has to write to those flaws. It's just exam prep. No you wouldn't treat a patient by this. The book looks well put together with a pretest, review, and postchapter study for each of the 17 chapters. It has CRT/RRT practice tests with rationales. A page of commonly used equations. NO CD. Have to go to a website to take the computer tests and clinical sims. The clinical sims don't fit the browser properly so you have to scroll, but it does explain afterward better than the 2004 version. Between this, a hand-me-down Kettering, and experience I'm very confident I'll pass.
