5.0 out of 5 stars A reader from WI, December 4, 1999

By	Laurie A. Cavanaugh "catnurse" (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mosby's Comprehensive Review For Veterinary Technicians (Paperback)

This is the best review book out there for the veterinary technician. If it is either for studying for boards or just to review, this book will make the process less stressful.

2.0 out of 5 stars Incorrect answers in answer key, June 19, 2008

By	S. Martin (Princeton, nj United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While the information in the chapters of this book is very good, the answer keys for the quizzes at the end of each chapter and the comprehensive test have many incorrect answers. I have the 2008 edition and I think the publisher did not update the answer key. I am very disappointed with this because the sample questions are one of the main reasons why I purchased the book. It makes learning the material confusing if the answers given for the questions contradict what is written in the text.

This review is from: Mosby's Comprehensive Review for Veterinary Technicians (Paperback)

I am taking a class that reviews the items that are on the Veterinary Technician National and State Examinations and this is the textbook we use for the class. It has everything you will need to pass the exams to become certified and/or registered!
