This was the worst test preparation booklet I ever used. The booklet included extremely technical terminology and questions. The test was straightforward and contained mostly common sense questions. There may have been one question from the booklet on the test. The questions and answers included in this booklet in no way resembled those asked on the test. Luckily, I decided to go to my college and there I studied from a guide that was completely aligned to the actual Dantes Here's To Your Health exam. I do not recommend this book for test preparation.

This is the second book I have purchased from the Jack Rudman Dante series and the second time that I have found absolutely none of the questions on the test! This was a total waste of money and time. The test is fairly easy without too much effort but the study guide was useless!

Well the results are in! I far exceeded the needed score. This book was very helpful. It will train you to think along the right pathway. Are the questions exact? No. Remeber this is a study guide, you are not buying test answers. Study nutrition and developmental stages in a health book.

Make sure you are getting the Study Guide not the Q&A. Fortunately I got the study guide, but some of my classmates got the Q&A which is useless.
I passed the test with the help of the Study Guide.

It is near impossible to find actual study material for Dantes exams (from the fact sheets)- but at least these practice exams allow you to get a feel for what subject matter will most likely be on the test. I found the Here's to Your Health practice exams helpful & gave me the answers to a lot of questions I did not know, as well as suggesting what areas I may want to review. I passed the exam with flying colors.

I would not recommed this book if you want to take the Dantes test. I studied for hours and hours and this book did not contain even 5% of what was covered on the test.

I took the Dantes test today.
There were 101 questions and this book came close in about 10.
What a surprise I experienced.
It would have been nice if most of the book material had been close to what was in the test.
It was if someone put the book together just guessing what the questions might be.

I took this test August of 2006, and studied this book for a few hours. This book is basically a huge list of sample Q's and A's (hopefully their answers are correct!)
I went through about 2/3 of the book, and I was pretty worried because the questions weren't about "health", they were about getting your M.D.
For instance, "What Vitamin will help protect your children from rickets?" or "Cortisone is used to relieve the symptoms of..." or "A deficiency of niacin usually results in..."
LOTS of detailed questions about causes and symptoms of diseases, specific chemical processes, etc.
The test was MUCH easier than this book seemed to suggest.
I was only helped on the test by about 10 questions from this book - that's 10%...
Get a general health book instead for studying - Much more general...

This study guide covers a vast amount of information. However, additional resources are needed along with the study guide. Practice test help define weak area so that studying in more productive.

It's been tough finding DANTES test prep books, but I managed to find this one online. I definitely recommend it - I actually aced the test!
