Editorial Reviews

Review

"**Features** The book reviews every clinical area and subject that radiology students experience during their course of study. The accompanying CD-ROM is a nice addition. I especially like the approach that is taken with the answer section, because it focuses on the different types of learners and provide a understanding for all. The photos are overall of good quality. The CD-ROM is very nice and students will benefit by getting accustomed to what taking the examination is like." (Doody's )

This review is from: Appleton and Lange Review for the Radiography Exam (CD-ROM)

As an educator in radiography, I have found this book to be extremely useful. For the past four years my students have used it as an addition resource guide in Procedures class. They have also found this book to be their best aid in preparing for the national registry. The book covers the entire core areas need for the ARRT examination. The students like the fact that they can review material over and over and take practice examinations. They also especially like the CD that is included with the text. The registry is computerized, and it is good to practice in a format similar to the real thing.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I trained through the US Army Radiology Specialist program and this review helped me alot. It came highly recommended by all the instructors and they weren't kidding. There is alot of info in each question and it is harder than the actual registry. Each question they ask in the book is like 2 or 3 questions on the actual test so if you take the chapter reviews and read the explainations for why that answer is correct, you're golden.

2.0 out of 5 stars A&L 5th Edition Very Disappointing!, July 15, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Appleton and Lange Review for the Radiography Exam (CD-ROM)

I purchased this review to help prepare for the ARRT Reinstatement exam following my return to the field, and though I felt that it covered the core content well I was extremely disappointed that so many of the questions, both in the book and on the CD-ROM, had incorrect answers. The expanation of the answers even explained HOW the *correct* answer was incorrect!! Maybe the editors should have taken a little more time! I became very frustrated with this and gave it up for a (more expensive and much more worth it) Kettering Review. Would never recommend this review... especially to new grads taking the ARRT for the first time!!
