4.0 out of 5 stars The most comprehensive test book I've seen., July 8, 1999

This review is from: National Certification Examination for Professional Massage & Bodywork (Admission Test Series) (Spiral-bound)

I was impressed and a bit overwhelmed by the level of questioning in this book. Doing the practice tests (with Mosby's medical encyclopedia at my side!) helped me to over prepare for the national exam and made me realize how much more I have yet to learn. Some of the questions were misleading in terms of their wording, yet overall I would say it was very helpful. It lacks questioning for shiatsu and acupressure points and locations, which there were many on the national exam. Overall, I am glad I purchased it over the other study guides I saw. This one at least offers more information than you'll actually need to know. It 's a bit of overkill but in a good way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference for National Certification Test, May 27, 2003

I found this book to be helpful in studying for the NCETMB. This book helped me to focus on the types of questions to study for. It was well-organized and showed me what I needed to study more. If you really want a great study guide get the following which is also on amazon.com:
The Ultimate Study Guide for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi
Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3
These study guides showed the kind of questions the national certification test asked. These study guides took away a lot of surprise questions on the test, otherwise, I would not have known or prepared for.
