Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)True this book does have inaccuracies, but I also found these in the much touted Dental Hygiene Study Decks. It may be impossible to find any non-fiction book without some inaccuracies, textbooks included! I've heard several questions are thrown out each year from the board exam because of inaccuracies.
The information is presented thoroughly and very clearly, with key points of a paragraph in bold. Considering review books from the standpoint of having already taken (and passed!) the National Boards, I found this book and High Yield Facts Dental Hygiene (Demetra, Daskalos,Logothetis authors), to be among the most helpful. I did not have the Mosby's book, so I cannot judge where this one stands in relation to it. Kaplan was much more helpful to me than the Saunders Review.
The Overview section of this book may be the most valuable and separates it from other DH review books. It provides helpful tips on how to answer certain kinds of questions on the board exam, (do you know what an "umbrella question" is and how to answer it? How about a `distractor question?') Also included: info on how the test is scored, how to prepare for the exam, and test taking strategies. This is very helpful information, as understanding how to approach a question may help you answer it correctly. The boards aren't just about knowing the correct answer, they are about knowing how to choose the correct answer from those offered. If you are not a good multiple choice test taker, or a nervous test taker, then this section of the book will be immensely helpful to you and, quite possibly worth the price of the book.
I also enjoyed the uncluttered layout of the information. Everything you need to know is there, just not in twenty page, demoralizing, soul sucking, dry as the Sahara regurgitations. Excellent section review tests as well as a full length board to practice. Buy this one. You won't be sorry.
