Editorial Reviews

Review

I want the students to practice the format which the exam will be given in and apply what they have learned in the practice sessions. Breaking up the questions with each section that the students will be responsible for answering helps the students gain the confidence in sitting for that 5 hour exam. The CD is great as this is how the exam is offered. The students can study from the PRG and then practice with the CD-ROM which is just like the actual exam. Mary M. Cantwell, RHIT, CPC, CPC-H, CPC-I, RMC, Professor, Metropolitan Community College, Omaha, Nebraska.

The data disk has multiple typo errors, but you can figure out what they want for most of them. One was really funny, it was suppose to be the word "as" but the added an extra "s" (kind of changes it doesn't it?). I found all of these error concerning because it left me wondering what else is wrong with the quality of the questions and answers. I think they need to do a better job editing the data disk, especially since the book is titled "professional" review guide. Nearly 80 bucks is a lot to pay for product with so many obvious errors.

The electronic tests that came on the data disk are now set up where ALL of the practice tests are separate for the RHIT and RHIA tests, which was not available in previous versions. This is a huge improvement!

The answers reference far too many books. It would not be possible for a student to have all of these books (some I have never heard of). Some of the referenced books for some of the questions do not contain the information like it is asked in the question. This is frustrating because it makes it impossible to look up the correct information. It would be better if they provided an explanation of the question's answer, or an excerpt from the book where the information published.

This book is a great tool for the exam if you know how to use it. I did not go in thinking I could memorize the book and regurgitate the answers for the exam. It is useful in the sense that, if you know WHY the answers are what they are, then you'll do fine. Like the commenter above, I did notice several typos and incorrect answers in the back, and several errors on the disk. I do like how references are available beneath each question so you can research the answer. In short, I don't think you can go wrong with this.

This was the exact book that I needed for my class. It really is in great shape. My main concern when purchasing this book was how long would it take to arrive. It arrived within the time frame given and it was at a cheaper price.
