The Cota Examination Review Guide Third Edition

No ripped pages and no pen marks/scribbles despite being used previously. Very helpful book! The rationales are explained in detail.

Exceeded my expectations, I have testers anxiety so working on different variations of questions helped a lot.

Take the tests and use this wisely and it really does help break down the questions of the exam.

A great resource for preparation.

This book is great preparation in terms of asking good questions and giving great rationales. BUT- I found many (10+) mistakes and inconsistencies within the questions and answer lists. I was frustrated to say the least, because I was concerned I couldn’t trust it. But I chose instead to use those inconsistencies as opportunities to look up correct answers in my previous notes and textbooks.I found this book to be most helpful in giving great rationales because it goes through each answer and explains why it is correct or incorrect.

I am currently using this book as one of several studying aids for my upcoming NBCOT board exam. It is extremely frustrating to have to spend extra time on questions because of constant typos. If there were only a couple of random typos I’d understand, but it is absolutely ridiculous the amount of typos that are present not only in this book but also in the accompanying online resources that offer practice tests. F.A. Davis; please hire a new book editor ASAP!!!!

The book helps with rationale and taking 200 questions at a time to prepare for the test. However, there are many misspelled words, rationale is not always correct or words in question/answer is not in the rationale, see pictures. These mistakes are frustrating and one has to look up to figure out the answer sheet and rationale on their own when it is not matching.

I had high hopes for this book and was incredibly disappointed. I am so glad I rented rather than purchasing it! SEVERAL grammatical and formatting errors throughout, with answers that do not match the questions. Some very obscure questions over topics of questionable importance. If you have already purchased it, the ONLY way I would utilize this book is for timing yourself and for practicing endurance. Do not look too much into the questions themselves, as you might find that the answer is a book error and/or not reflective of actual exam content. Spend the extra money for the Therapy Ed book or an online study pack!
