This is really an effective study guide for it doesn't just prepare the reader with each topic that is included in the test but it also prepare the reader on how he/she will handle the test. From its test taking tips that are really helpful on what are the things that you'll do from the registration of the test or before the test, during and after the test.

As you can see, this book is very informative.The arrangement of the topic is really good since it starts from the basic to complex. So, even if you don't have experience yet as a dental assistant, this is a very good study guide since it makes everything as simple as possible for you to be able to fully understand the concept. The presentation of the topic is also great and very effective to learning because there are some charts and bulleted text that should be given importance to. Although, there are no pictures, that is okay. Because the author used simple words for the topic to be as easy as the reader wants it to be. Aside from that, you'll notice that there are no practice test in this book. Actually, there is. It is just in the additional bonus materials wherein you'll be able to view online and you can also have it printed if you want to. The practice test is multiple choice and its answer keys are well explained. The questions are about General Chairside, Radiation Health and Safety and Infection Control. There are actually a lot of things that you can see in additional bonus materials that is why it is truly an effective study guide.
With this study guide I was able to pass 2/3 parts of the exam, you need to buy the ICE (infection control) study guide seperate. It did work, just wish I had known about the other guide before my exam.
Going to the dentist is a little scary for some people and as the dental assistant, I always want to make sure the patients are at ease. Part of that is just my personality but part of it is knowing what I need to do in order to do the initial exam before the dentist takes over. Having a certification slip on the wall that says I know what I'm doing puts patients a little more at ease. They know I have studied for a test that ensures that I know my stuff when it comes to dental exams. Having that certification also helps me to find good jobs in dentist offices so the positive aspects go both ways. To get the certification I was going to need to study hard. I wanted to be at ease with all of the material so I could get that little piece of paper that put patients at ease. I also felt like if I knew the material, I would know how to do an exam and that was good as well. Getting this study guide was the best thing I could have done for my study sessions. It was well organized and helped me learn the material so I would know it for the test, but also in a way that helped me remember it for future use as well.
This guide is full of secrets and excellent bonus material. The five secrets in this guide round out good study habits and help those to attain testing success. The bonus material contains a CPR cheat sheet, review tables, images and more.
This book was great. The material was definitely on the test and very helpful. There are also links in the back for extra study guides practice tests, which were also great!
I did pass my EFDA exam with this book so I was thrilled about that! However, there were a lot of misspelled words. I was not sure I was getting the proper information. I was training in clinical as well as with the book so I am not sure which one helped me pass. If you are new to dental assisting I would buy a different book just in case.
Very Informative. I have been working as a dental assistant for 16 years. I am a little apprehensive about taking the exam for certification but after glancing at the information, it looks very detailed and helpful. I am now looking forward to studying and taking the exam!
I think it's a great product I'm just feeling overwhelmed about this. I'm a rda in ca and am working full time but since we're moving across the country my license doesn't transfer. So I need to take my boards ALL over again 😒 so anything would help to refresh my memory .
