1.0 out of 5 stars Go with O'Sullivan instead, September 14, 2009
This review is from: Kaplan National Physical Therapy Exam (Paperback)
I bought this book because the price was right and because the Kaplan brand is almost always worth checking out. Unfortunately, the material is not very good.

As a review text, it is inadequate. It has a few tables and it discusses a few bullet points about relevant NPTE concepts, but the information provided is not complete enough as a standalone text. (As an example of this.. when you review "correct" answers in their answer key, explanations of correct answers are justified by references to other PT texts).

As a text for test questions, it is also inadequate. There aren't enough questions and the questions they do have are generally straightforward. This text has 500 pages, but 200 of the pages are alloted to the TWO practice tests. That's an example of how little content is provided in this text.

My recommendations?

Skip this one. There are far more useful alternatives. If you need a good review text, O'Sullivan's NPTE review and study guide (available on [...]) is far more comprehensive, but it is a dry read. I hear that Giles' "PT Exam" text is an easier read, but that its test questions are easier.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fair, June 13, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kaplan National Physical Therapy Exam (Paperback)
Very concise book, best used in conjunction with a more descriptive book e.g. O'Sullivan.
Helpful mini tests with each chapter to highlight areas to concentrate study; although be aware that the letter given for the correct answer isn't always the correct answer (the descriptions of which answers are correct are right,just not always the corresponding letter).
The full length practice tests were helpful although I would have preferred them to be computer based to more simulate the real exam.
Overall a handy book that is recommended if you are looking for a book that doesn't go into too much detail as good for key point learning.

3.0 out of 5 stars Minimal Academic Review, November 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kaplan National Physical Therapy Exam (Paperback)
The book does not provide the necessary academic review. The questions were useful to review some content, but lacked depth. The price made the book a reasonable value.
