Perfect for the PSB exam

I studied this book for approximately 2 months prior to the PSB examination for entry into Nursing school here in Pittsburgh. The standards are quite high and this book came recommended by the school for prep. I usually find that the school's choices for entry are either WAY too lengthy or not lengthy enough. This book was the perfect balance between the two, in regards to the science portion. I marked it one star down because the outline format, while helpful to some, is a bit of a drawback in the explanation factor and doesn't actually give diagrams or shows anything that would help things stick (for all you visual folks like me). Other than that drawback, BUY IT! It's worth it's money in gold! P.S. I hadn't seen the inside of a biology book in 13 years and it brought everything back and got me into Nursing school!

Excellent study guide!

I studied this book, along with another guide for two weeks and I found this book to be the most excellent study guide ever! It has several practice tests and answers AND explanations for all of the answers! I just took the allied health entrance exam and it was actually relatively easy after studying this guide. It was definitely worth every dollar. After all, if your future is on the line, you need the very best study material. The practice tests on this guide are phenomenal! If you are successful on these practice tests, you will definitely do well on the actual test. Good luck!

Very understanding

this book was easy to understand and read, and it goes into detail about the things that one needs to study for a test, I would advise anyone who needs this book to get it before that big test that's coming up you will not be sorry.

Nothing Wrong w/ Being Over-Prepared

this study guide book covers a lot of material that you may not need; it also cover a lot of material that you will need. If you can work through this book--and some areas are difficult--then you will be ready for just about anything an entrance exam could present. I found it very, very helpful--especially in math and reading comp **just a note, there are about math 10 problems that have typos or incorrect answers, but I have yet to find any book in the world that is perfect**

This book was outstanding.

This book was a supurb review of the things I've learned in the Licensed Practical Nursing program here in New York. The book summed up alot of information, pertaining to subject matters, other than nursing.
