surgical technology exam study guide,

This review is from: Appleton & Lange Review for the Surgical Technology Examination (Paperback)
This book was very helpful in reviewing for the examination, however you need to know the material inside and out since the questions in this book are merely generalized.

Not what I expected,
By Donnie Carr (WINCHESTER, KENTUCKY, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Appleton & Lange Review for the Surgical Technology Examination (Paperback)
When I ordered this book I thought it was going to contain study information somewhat like a text book. However it does not. It is just practice test questions for you to study with. The book is useful for sure but not if you are expecting to read it like a text book. It is just test questions and in my opinion the answers could have been a little more detailed in some cases. If you are looking for practice taking your CST exam it's great for that.

Great for reviewing,
By pjc86 "surgerygirl" (Huntington WV USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Appleton & Lange Review for the Surgical Technology Examination (Paperback)
I am very pleased with the Appleton & Lange test review guide. It has been more than a year since I graduated and the detailed answer section was very helpful in jogging my memory on some of the topics that I was a bit rusty. Also included in the back of the book is a handy test answer grid that you can copy and test yourself multiple times, rather than marking up your book.
The book contains a wide sampling of all areas and even on some subjects that I would not have thought to prepare for such as the technological section which covers computers, electricity, physics and robotics. The practice test also has a Subject Listing which was insightful. This allows you to determine what subject areas any incorrect answers occurred in so that you can go back and focus on those particular problem areas for further review.
