I can testify for the book and the author. I was a student of Jennifer's from 2001 - 2003 and she certainly knows her stuff!! I used the book to study for my registry and passed with flying colors. It has test taking tips, a quick reference of formulas, and a large bank of test questions. The CD is very helpful because you can set up a 220 mock exam that prepares you for taking the registry or if you are having trouble with one section you can concentrate on that area.

I highly recommend this book!!!!
Good Luck!!

This product is worthless. I really don't recomend to buy it. I just bought this book because it offered a CD-ROM wich does not work with my operating system (XP). I opened from the package because it's labeled that works with XP, but it does not, it get frozen my computer as soon as it reaches 61% of installation. If you are going to prepeare for your radiographic examination the books you have used during the program will help yuo out a lot. On the other hand I could not return this product to Amazon for refund because I opened it and I tried to contact these people (F.A. Davi's publisher) trhough the internet and then they are just around the bushes solving nothing. This product has to be updated and they have to offer a better product for what you are paying for.

Tests inside book are great! The first few pages of book has formulas and equations that you may have forgotten ( I did! ). Book also gives detailed answers in the back as to why the question has that answer. Cd which comes with is also great. Lots more questions!

I used Radiography PREP by Saia for review which was very helpful. Then I bought this book to take several practice tests. (I liked this book because in the back it had the answers along with a thorough explination.) The combo worked great because I passed with flying colors!

I originally sat for the ARRT exam in 1973 and ventured into x-ray sales in 1978 and then away from radiology altogether in 1990. Since I didn't do the CEU's, I gave up my registry. I recently learned that the window of opportunity to get back in was rapidly closing and I needed to apply to retake the exam by 4/1/06. I took the exam on 3/20/06 and just learned that I passed with a 91...the same score I received in 1973! I no longer had any of my text books and so, I researched and bought two resources: F.A. Davis' Practice Guide for the Radiography Examination and Mosby's Comprehensive Review.
I liked Mosby's for all the study information it contained. It was laid out in a very straightforward, organized format that was easy to study. I also liked the format on the disk for both studying and the exam. Some of the questions seemed pretty elementary. In fact, after consistently scoring in the 90's on the Mosby tests, I took an F.A. Davis test and scored a 71! Davis was primarily a test resource. There were formulas in the front that were useful, but the real value was in the testing. All told, I seriously studied about 3 weeks before taking the registry. Obviously, this combination worked well for me.
I have the same complaint about each: there were several questions from each disk where they marked a question wrong but the rationale they supplied said my answer was right. It made me question the validity of other questions. They need to go back and review all their questions again and revalidate them.

I checked out and bought some of the other review books (Mosby's being one), and I have to say this book turned out to be the best. I didn't really think it would be that good of a book when I started looking at it, but it is. I took the first test in the book and got a 66%, then I studied everything I missed and tried to figure out what I didn't understand. On the second test I got a 71% and continued to study. By the time I took the last one I got a 80%. Within a week I took the ARRT test and scored a 94%! the only questions I didn't expect on the exam had to do with artifacts and processor artifacts, which this book doesn't really cover. Also I recommend highlighting sections in the test review that you have a hard time with, I used a second highlight color for all radiation information. Good luck. By the way I passed the registry in Aug 2005.

I agree with a previous reviewer that this author knows her stuff. This book is very good for studying for the ARRT. The questions helped me to focus on what to study. I also definitely recommend
"The Ultimate Study Guide for the Registry Examination in Radiography: Key Review Questions and Answers"
Volume 1 isbn 1933023031
Volume 2 isbn 193302304x
Volume 3 isbn 1933023066
These 3 volumes also has excellent questions on all the topics tested on the ARRT. It made my life a lot easier.

For products for the house, I highly recommend
