5.0 out of 5 stars Challenging Questions For MT Students, January 2, 2007

This review is from: Clinical Laboratory Science Review (with Brownstone CD-ROM) (Harr, Clinical Laboratory Science Review) (Paperback)

This is the most difficult review book that I've come across. It contains harder questions than the ACSP Bor review book, NCA review book and the Prentice Hall Q and A review book. If you like challenging questions, then this book is for you. If you just want the basics and normal questions, then go with the other books. It has the explainations along side the questions on the very same page which is nice. Not really for students studying for the MLT exam but more toward MT level exam material. The new 3rd edition comes with new CD software with quizes and photographs which I found to be very nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars a very useful review book for CLS, March 8, 2008

This review is from: Clinical Laboratory Science Review (with Brownstone CD-ROM) (Harr, Clinical Laboratory Science Review) (Paperback)

Of the three CLS board review books I have used, this has been the most useful. Like several other books of this type, it uses a multiple choice question format with explanations for each of the possible answers provided in the question. The explanations cover material varying in level from basic to advanced and for this reason they are necessarily succinct. For this reason it may be necessary to refer to text books for thorough understanding of some topics, as should be expected in a review book. The multiple choice questions themselves are carefully writen to point out commonly confused terms and ideas (many of which I had not been aware I was confused about!). This book does not have tables of comparisons, diagrams, clever mnemonics or reviews of specific topics, all of which are also useful in getting ready for the boards, but it will indicate which of these topics the reader needs to further review. Highly recomended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Study Guide, December 9, 2008

This review is from: Clinical Laboratory Science Review (with Brownstone CD-ROM) (Harr, Clinical Laboratory Science Review) (Paperback)

This is a pretty good study guide, however, when my classmates and I purchased it and started studying out of it, we found that there were several questions that were answered incorrectly by the authors. Our professors were the ones who corrected us when we used the explanations that were given in the book. However, that only occurred on a few of the questions so overall it is a good study guide when used in conjunction with the BOR study guide and also the Clinical Laboratory Science Review: A Bottom Line Approach.
