The written examination section includes over 350 new multiple choice questions covering athletic training domains and other related subjects. Realistic clinical scenarios are tested in the written simulation portion, while the practical practice questions pose realistic tests and procedures for the reader to perform.

I am currently still using this exam review, and am finding it very useful. It divides AT into five separate categories, and it's easy to identify where your weak spots are...and what areas you need to study more closely. If you are taking the BOC in the next year, I would definately recommend using this book as a tool when studying.

Overall a good book, although I have found quite a few incorrect answers in the answer key or questions that have multiple answers that don't match with the answer key
