This book was a wonderful resource to take the first exam (CRT), the CD-Rom was right on the money for studying off the computer. The information from this book was correct and precise. It was what the NBRC is looking for as far as answers are concerned. I passed my CRT exam with an 87%, I will be taking my RRT exam sometime this August and I will definitely use this book as a study guide. I hope all success in taking your tests.

Good Luck

If you want to have a clearer idea of what you are going to find in the CRT test this book will help you. the terminology is real simple, going straight to the point, pointing out what to focus on that will be on the test and what will not. You won't loose time on information that you don't need. It really help me.

This book is well written and for some reason just clicked with me. There were things explained in this book that I couldn't just grasp during my training in Respiratory School. Because of this book, I passed the certification exam on the first try. Thank you Mr. Persing.

When I purchased this book, I intended for it to supplement the knowledge that I gained during the three years attaining a bachelors in Respiratory Care; instead, I spent much of my time thinking, "that's no correct" and looking up "correct" information from the internet and other respiratory texts.

This book is FULL of WRONG information, incorrectly answered practice questions, typos, pre/post chapter study questions that are misplaced in chapters before the material covered by the question has been discussed, information NEVER discussed is tested in the "Practice RRT" exam at the back of the book...the list goes on and on.

I implore you to save your money and NOT purchase this book. I myself plan to contact the publisher to receive a refund because it is one thing to have a few mistakes in a book but this text goes above and beyond in the mistakes department where it is a TOTAL waste of your valuable study time.

If you are looking for a good RRT & CRT review go to the NBRC webpage for FREE and get the complete content matrixes - then look up the material you feel that you need to be refreshed with in your Egans Fundamental of Respiratory Care or the Essentials of Respiratory Care text. This is preparing you much more for the actual exams. Also, if you are looking for practice exams the NBRC webpage also has FREE CRT, RRT and Clinical Sims exams that will show you EXACTLY how the test real test will be.

GOOD LUCK to all future RT's & remember DO NOT BUY "Respiratory Care Exam Review: Review for the Entry Level and Advanced Exams by Gary Persing"

I highly recommend this review book for RT graduates who plan to take the CRT exam. The book is simple, easy to read, and direct to the point. It is handy and yet very comprehensive. Very good reviewer. Go for it.

After studying this book for a week, i went into the CRT after not being in school for a year and passed with a great score...thanks to Mr. Persing! I went to a 2 day semenar he conducted and received many practice questions which were on the actual exam and felt very prepared. I'd recommend this book to anyone studying for either the CRT or RRT exams. It is the easiest book to read and the information is very simple to understand. A+++

I really enjoyed this book. The shortcuts and material was easy to understand and helped me prepare for the RRT exam. I was able to attend one of Mr. Persing's seminars. He is an awesome instructor. If you ever have the opportunity to go to one, do it. It is well worth the money.

I got this as a current update in respiratory therapy since I have been out of the field for a few years. There is a lot of good information in it; but, beware of the amount of outdated material. For example, does anyone still wait until a ventilator patient is on 60% before they add PEEP? It's not an altogether waste of time and money; but, it does need some serious updating.

The text arrived in a timely manner. The book itself has several pages of very faded print. Hoping to copy from a classmate. Content is a very good study guide.

I am so happy I purchased this item. It helped my avoid the cost of Kettering and I aced the board exam. If you buy this item, study it!
