| This book was required for my class but I think it's something I'll keep referring to throughout my career. Designed for review for boards, it is short, sweet, and to the point. It gives clinical relevance as well as background info without going into excessive detail. The book is easy to follow and the figures and tables are very helpful. There are even board-style questions in the back of the book. I highly recommend this book. |

| As a pre-nursing student, the competition is fierce to get into a program. When I first received these study guides I thought I had paid way too much for what I got and thought the material simplistic. What I found is that 25% to 35% of my test questions were very close to the examples given. If you are a serious student, these guides are another tool in your total study regime. They are not intended to be your ONLY source of study and review. There are no easy ways to learn the Sciences, but these focus on some of the commonly tested areas. I wanted all the resources I could find and it paid off with A's.
<br /> Great study guide to enhance your knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology and most of all ACE the exams.....
<br />
<br /> Use this tool for passing...college exams
I bought both this book and Volume 2 in the series [Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Volume 2: Orientation of the Body, Cells, Tissues, Integumentary System) by Patrick Leonardi] and both these books helped me get an "A" in my A&P class!! They helped to reinforce the book material and quickly showed me which areas I didn't understand so I could study and get better grades for each exam. Many of the topics in A&P are complicated and it's VERY helpful to have a wonderful resource guide such as this to anticipate test questions so you can make your mistakes with the resource guide and not on your tests. |

| This book starts with the bare basics and gently guides you through as the subject matter gets more complex. Very thorough explanations and analogies with a quiz at the end of each chapter to ensure you are up to speed. If that's not enough there is a sectional test every few chapters and a final exam at the end of the book. The author caters to those of us who lack short term memory by re-defining key terms and re-stating key facts (in a way that's beneficial, not superfluous)that may be necessary to continue to later chapters. Excellent book |

| This was my textbook for Behavioral Neuroscience (Pysch 390 I think) at UMass Amherst. It can get kind of verbose, but its immense detail more than makes up for it. I still use it for a reference source. I think it's also worth noting that Barron's GRE Psychology prep book recommends this book.
<br />
<br />I got an A in the class, and the science side of psychology is really not my thing at all.
<br />
<br />It's a good book, you should get it :)
the book came in a reasonable amount of time but was not the same quality as was initially stated. It said the book was brand new but it had bent corners.
Company was prompt and service was great. However, the book was listed in 'good' condition and it is not. I can ignore the writing and hilighting but it had a defect in which it was missing about 50 of it's pages. To me missing pages does not qualify as 'good' condition. These people obviously do not check the quality of thier books. |

| I used this book to prep for a physio miniboard exam (NBME subject exam). Very helpful for review and practice. The High Yield chapter was okay for review, but really not as helpful as the High Yield chapters in other Pretest books.
<br />
<br />Watch out for mistakes though. Many mistakes in gastro (i think... it was in one of the chapters, anyway). Start early so you have time to look up things that don't quite look right.
This is a great resource for Shelf Exam prep....my physio class didn't do an adequate job of preparing me for the shelf (the first one I took), but Pre-Test helped me get a very good score. |

| I really fell in love with this book. You will often feel that you have a private tutor along by your side every time you read it. One of my favorite feature in this book is the "quick check"-right after you've finished reading a little bit about the certain topic you're studying in, a "quick check" will then appears to check you if you really understood it before going on to the next. These one of the plenty features that you would surely love and ensure each and every student have mastered the difficult subject of Anatomy & Physiology easier than ever before. I also recommend you to buy its study guide for self quizzing and easier learning.
I think it was wrote very precisely and easy to be understood.
<br />The price was also resonable. |
