you'd better study

it always astounds me when folks who don't study think that by briefly skimming a review book they'll score 100%!!! come on. this book is a COMPLEMENT to what you should have already been taught in massage therapy school. that's what you paid for right? an education? & it wasn't cheap, right? if you did pay attention in school, this is a fantastic book, easily laid out in test-like format, and with the answers at the end of each chapter. you can see the areas you need more study on. take the quizzes, note your weaknesses, and work on them. don't over-study what you already know. get this at least 2 weeks before the exam, and use it a bit each day. then pass the darned national exam!

Excellent review

The time that it took for papers to be processed for the exam was waaay too long. I was pretty nervous and had lost some of my confidence about information retention. The questions in this review book are set up closely to the national exam for therapeutic massage and bodywork. The exam includes a lot of Chinese Medicine and Shiatsu questions so I would suggest some extra study on these topics. I did not use the audio c.d. that came with this book...it was not necessary. This was the only study guide that I used along with notes from school and I scored "high" under all subjects.

Concise & precise

Q & A Review's layout was well thought out. Answers are separate from questions so there is no chance to "sneak a peak" before your brain engages. Answers are in full sentances, not just bullet points. Nice reading choice when you use public transport!

Awesome review guide for the NCBTMB

I do recommend this guide to study for the board. Even though I must agree with the first reviewer, the CD has mistakes and should be corrected, the way this booklet is organized is really helpful. All the answers have an explaination and a reference. This is by far the best guide I had, and I passed the NCBTMB very easily the first time, thanks to this review book. I also bought on massagewarehouse.com the Dr Woods booklet and CD that costed me $59.99. It is night and day! I wrote a review on this guide on massagewarehouse, but it seems that they select the reviews they receive, because mine was never published!!!
