4.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended workbook & CD!, April 8, 2000

By 

Arnold E. Jaecks (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Appleton & Lange Review for the Radiography Examination (Paperback)

This book is the Greatest. I used it in conjunction with "Prep" Program Review & Exam Preperation, also by D.A. Saia. Prep gave me a refresher review. The 4th edition w/CD-Rom was the backbone of my efforts. It is thourough and comprehensive. There are some errors in question answers, however they are minor. With 1,400 questions, all on CD, you can go over & over the material until you feel comfortable in all areas. After taking the ARRT exam I knew I bought the right books. I felt comfortable with the Computer foremat and although some questions on the exam were unfamiliar, I felt well prepared for the exam. I had been out of the field for 30 years. I graduated X-Ray Tech school in 1960. Dropped out of ARRT Registry in 1982. I passed my exam with a 89. I used only the the two books indicated and a current Medical Dictionary. Thankyou D. A. Saia! You helped to make it happen for me. I am currently employed as a Registered Radiologic Technologist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Text- 60% of test questions were word for word, March 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Appleton & Lange Review for the Radiography Examination (Paperback)

I was a little apprehensive about taking the computerized exam, but after studying out the the PREP text and taking the exams in this book, i felt confident. However, when i took the test, i realized that i had seen the majority of questions from the practice tests. I knew the answers before i finished reading the questions. I passed the registry easily. On the other hand, there are several versions of the computer test and other class members of mine received far different questions. All and all the book gave a great feel for the quality and level of difficulty of test questions. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED.

1.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTED--4TH ED., April 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Appleton & Lange Review for the Radiography Examination (Paperback)

Our program has used this review book for 3 editions and liked it. Our students who began using the new 4th ed. complained that there were NO references to Bontrager in the anatomy and positioning sections. We use Bontrager as our primary textbook and the elimination of this major radiography text as a reference is disappointing and puzzling. Our students are also encouraged to buy Merrill's and the majority do. The students use the 9th ed of Merrill's and the refs are for the 8th ed. Merrill's has been out for over a year. The majority of refs were for a new book by Cornuelle. How are students suppose to find information in a text that is only in the library and one that is not a major textbook in use at this time (at least we know of nobody who uses it)? The author has done a major disservice to radiography students. As a result, we will not use this text any longer.
