I recently passed the SPI on my first try. The procrastinator I am, I have been out of school for 5 years, so I had to somewhat "relearn" physics. This book prepared me well. I did purchase two hours of the X-Zone, but that did not seem to help as much. You have to really understand the principles of physics to pass this test, and this book does a good job spelling it all out for you. There are helpful practice exams after each chapter. You also get access to an online practice exam, which I thought was too simplified as compared to the actual registry.
This is an awesome review for the SPI exam! I recently took the exam and I studies this book all the way through. It is a very thorough review, but is not overwhelming with the amount of information. It is broken down in an easy to understand manner. It does not over exaggerate the material - it gives you the information you need to know to pass the SPI exam, so you do not waste your time studying tons of information that you never see on your exam. I really feel like this book well prepared me for my SPI exam. I felt as though the information that was on my exam was all covered in this one book. Give it a try!! You will not be disappointed!
This is a fantastic review book! Physics is a complex subject but the concept in this book is broken down in an easy to read form. The pictures are very helpful in understanding the material further. There are tables throughout each chapter that highlight important key points remember. There are 50 multiple choice questions for review after each chapter and exams online to practice with. In addition, there are color plates online to help with the understanding of the direction of blood flow. I was very surprised with as small as this book is, but it's very thorough and completely followed the course objectives for my physics class. This is my number one resource for the SPI exam and recommend it to everyone!
I purchased this book as a requirement for my physics review course. It has been my primary study tool for the spi exam along with Edelman. It was also reasonably priced and shipped immediately, definitely beats the book store.
I took my SPI a few weeks ago and I mostly used this book and Edelman. Really, all you need is Edelman to pass but to get the entire picture of everything, this review book is perfect! The questions in the back are the closest to the boards exam in the sense that you will always seem to come down to two answers to choose from. I thought I was failing or at least borderline to the score I needed to pass with and I ended up passing with an A! I am a horrible test taker and get very bad anxiety for every test I take. I studied hard and about 10 hours a day for 3 days and then the day before the test I took a break. I would have studied earlier but I had other tests and classes to focus on. Anyway, this book was very good at explaining things and it used a lot of pictures. Wish I had this in my physics course. Good Luck!
can't say enough about this book! if you are studying US physics you need this. My teacher does not explain things so well. The textbook we use is quite good but this is even better. It is nice to have 2 sources of info. This does an excellent job of putting these concepts into easy to understand ways by using basic analogies. Got it today and have been studying for 2 hours and love it.
I just finished my test this morning and scored 644.I did not have any guided training for this test and so needed a book that would be fairly comprehensive and yet easy to learn from. This book is about 190 pages or so and is very easy to read. I did not find myself overwhelmed or bored, nor was it too wordy. The diagrams, pictures, etc are all easy to understand and augment the points being made int eh text. The questions at the end of the chapter reinforce the concepts and key points from the chapter; they are slightly easier than the actual examination but it is not a huge difference.For me at least, this book (read it twice) in conjunction with the ARDMS provided practice tests ($25) and reviewing the semi interactive questions was enough. Things went really quite smoothly.I will definitely be using Steven Penny's book for the abdomen preparation too.Good luck!
Excellent SPI registry review book!!! The material was thorough, clear and concise! Exactly what I needed to pass the registry the first time! The book also includes a code for online access to more registry review questions. An abesolute great value! You will be glad you bought this book!
