REVIEWS OF PREVIOUS EDITIONS:

"I used this text to study for my national boards two years ago and recommend to all of the students I encounter. It's a great way to test yourself before you take the exam. I purchased it about 6 weeks prior to. Each section gives you multiple choice questions about the knowledge you have already obtained. You can then grade yourself on the sections and see what weak areas you may need to "touch up on" before you test. It's well worth the money. I passed the exam, and felt it prepared me." - Anonymous User, Virginia (Amazon.com reviewer)

"Wonderful!! This is a great book for studying for the board exams (or for your own personal knowledge)... covers every aspect of veterinary technology you'd ever want to know about!" - Anonymous User, Southern Oregon (Amazon.com reviewer)

"Excellent study-guide. I am studying now to take my boards in the Spring. This workbook is an excellent way for me to test myself, locate my areas of weakness and to improve upon those areas in time for the boards. My classmates all liked it so much, they asked me to order copies for them too!" - Anonymous User, Fairmont, West Virginia (Amazon.com reviewer)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Study Tool for Vet Techs AND Instructors!, May 8, 2005

This review is from: Review Questions and Answers for Veterinary Technicians (3rd Edition, Book & CD-ROM) (Paperback)

I used the second edition book back when I took (and aced) the VTNE for my Oregon certification. Let me also state that I "grandfathered in" as a Certified Veterinary Technician, meaning that what I knew, I'd picked up along the many years working in the field, as opposed to a formal academic environment. Years later, I used the 3rd edition for the California State Board Exam. The tests are similar enough that I passed the latter with flying colors (after all, the science is the same, regardless of geography!) I owe much of the success in both cases to the Colville guide.

I am now an instructor for the Vet Tech program at a local college, and recommend this book as an adjunct for studying--the CD-ROM is really helpful. It offers immediate feedback with the correct answers, which is much like using flash cards, only neater.

Whether you're a student studying for your first Board Exam, or a veteran of the field in need of a refresher course, this book does not disappoint.
