I bought this book as a start for my preparation for National Exams in Massage Therapy and Bodywork. Its well organized, obviously well written, but the big problem is.....the answers to the preparatory quizzes have to be looked up online. Any other time this wouldn't be a problem, but I study on the train and places where I don't have immediate internet access to check my scores on the quizzes. If I would have wanted an online resource, I would have just signed up for one. Hopefully in future reprints, this will be clarified in the review and I won't make the mistake of buying a book of quizzes that I can only grade when Im online.

I studied this book and loved the online study guide, I think that helped the most. I had not been to school in 6 years but I was grandfathered in so I wanted to take my test. I had forgotten most of this and I studied for 3 weeks using this study guide and I passed with flying colors. I suggest it to everyone. I took the NCBTMB.

I bought this book and when I scratched off the code the numbers also came off. I have tried to call and email "thepoint" but have received no reply. Since the pre-test and the answers are online I've wasted my money. Be careful!!!!
