I recently took the TMC, clinical simulation and passed with the high cut score and at the first sitting. I read through this book several times and went through the online resources that comes with this book. There is a practice exam full length in the book and one online, and some clinical simulations and other resources. The exam feed backs helped me a lot to understand how to approach the question like the NBRC wants. Gary Persing explains hows the NBRC wants the questions to be answered and also gives you the short cut equations and thought process you need to get through the exam. There is no fluff its straight to the point. Although I wish he would put more questions and exams in the book or online. Really use the online resource that comes with this book. There are clinical simulations online and make sure to read all the explanations for the right and wrong answers so you know how the NBRC thinks for the clinical simulations. This was a huge help.
I attended a Kettering seminar and spent money on their other products which I studied like mad with prior to taking the TMC. I was very disappointed with the results. The easiest way I can put this is that all of the prep material I studied before was either misleading or flat out inaccurate. So, I got onto and looked for a different source and came upon this study guide. I ordered it, read it from cover to cover twice, and took the exam again and passed the high cut with flying colors! I highly recommend this study guide over Kettering!
I love the updated version of this text; I had the last version and it helped me pass my boards. This has the latest guidelines and updated material for the TMC. Thorough material that is easy to read. While not a super thick text, it packs nothing but essential information and next to no fluff. Arrived when expected; I woule buy from this vendor again. Highly recommend!
This was perfect for writing the Canadian registry exam... There were few minor differences between Canadian and U.S. Respiratory care and I found the smaller size much easier to use for review. I used this book along with just a couple of my other text books to get a really full review of all respiratory care concepts. Definitely recommend for the student who is off put by huge text books with so much information this helped narrow down the concepts I needed review on and the practice tests were great! I passed my registry exam and a big part of it was from using this text for a great review and study guide.
This book was excellent. The contents of this book correlated with the 2015 CSE. In fact I had so much success with it I passed my Sims, now after struggling to past this book helped me become a Registered Respiratory Therapist. Thanks a lot Mr. Gary Persing
Incredibly useful text that was straight to the point. Full of math concepts that aren't necessarily on the exam, but are useful for a resource in the field. I used this text and the online resorces, NBRC practice exams and website turorialsystems.com and passed the TMC at the RRT level first try. Getting ready for the clin sims now!
To the point, I wish the questions changed a little more from the previous edition and they would add more questions! I would gladly pay the price of the review if they had more questions!
This book came in super fast and is already helpful in the first week of respiratory therapy school. Cant wait to see what all it has to offer as the classes continue. Very helpful, two thumbs up.
