951 questions and answers!! This book was essential to my passing the NCBTMB the first time. I learned a great deal from this book and well as from Volumes 2 and 3. I was surprised at the number of test questions about Traditional Chinese Medicine. This book provides a great deal of information on that topic.

This was a great book to use in preparation for the NCBTMB exam, even though some of the questions were a little TOO esoteric (5 questions on hyoid muscles? Come on! How often does one massage the THROAT? And the bulbospongious and levator ani? Yeah, right! I massage those every time - NOT!) Even so, it helped me focus on what was for me the most difficult and challenging part of the exam and to find the "holes" in my knowledge. Questions arent' mixed up, but are in order, so it's possible to review a system, take the questions, correct, then review again. HIGHLY recommended!

I only ordered volume 1 of this set of 3. I felt that this area is where I needed to review the most. The book is a little less than 1000 questions and answers. I felt that it was extremely helpful and I would recommend it to anyone taking this exam. I passed on the high end of 4 out of the 6 sections of the exam! I wasn't sure at first about purchasing because of the amount but I took a chance and now feel that it was well worth it.

fabulous review book! found things in here that weren't gone over in the course i took. loved the questions. this really helped me out. a must have for passing the ncetmb!

This is a must have for the A and P section of the test. I used this and passed with 4 high markings out of 6 as a result. I also bought the other guide like this. The other guide went over assesment and application.

if you're going to buy any guide, this and it's two companions are the best! for the price of the test, you better make sure you're going to pass the first time, and these are very comprehensive. I feel confidant that i'm going to pass now!

I just recieved this book and while the questions are certainly sufficient-there is no actual reading or study guide to prep you for the questions, which i would have liked as i have been a therapist for 11 years and need a review to study from! Also, the book is printed on dark red paper which makes it difficult to read. Previously I had looked at Mosbys for review buti understand this years isnt as good, so i didn't purchase it BUT it did used to have texbook material you could study from. Sorry to say i will have to purchase another book as well as having this one and spent a fortune for a book that was reproduced cheaply.
