This book is well worth your money. What I like about this version is that is broken down into every surgical service from cv, ortho, general, ent, gu, neuro to pharmacology,and basic science. Before taking my exam I had study several books but none of them compare to this one. Lange gives you the study questions you need some of the questions are even on the real certification exam. Thanks to this book I pass my certification test . Take your time and go from front to back at least twice. Use your critical knowledge when taking this examination take your time and remember they have 6 versions of the certification none will be alike . Good luck future CST , don't even bother with the one the AST organization sends you it's a este of time and none of those questions will come up also I made the mistake of buying a practice test from the nbsta website for $40 don't do it instead look for form A and B on quizzlet.com and you can get the practice questions for free. Just type in surgical technology review test and all sort of practice test/flash cards will come up :)
Without this product I would not have passed my CST exam. The detailed explanations of the answers helped tremendously. The clear pictures were also helpful. Some of the questions in the book were actually on the exam.Some questions on the test were about subjects I had not covered in my class. The book gave me a lot of information on a wide spectrum of topics. This helped me to figure out a lot of things on my own while I took the exam.Be sure to order the book in enough time to go over all of the material. I had to dock my evaluation by one star because there were a few typographical errors. I would still highly recommend this publication.
I first became a Certified Surgical Technologist in 1996. I let my certification expire in 2002 when I became an LPN. After working all these years in nursing and haven't set foot in surgery, I decided to regain my certification and return to the OR/Labor&Delivery. I bought the Lange Surgical Technology Exam book 6th Edition 6 weeks ago based on the positive reviews. I studied no other book at all and took the examination today and passed with 20 points to spare. Many questions in the book are similar to the test. I highly recommend this book for the CST certification. I was 12 years out of the field, rusty in knowledge and I'm almost 50 years old. If I can do it, you can too..
I love this book! I have it in a paper back and on my ipad kindel.I just passed The CST exam, using this book!!!!:-):-):-)
First off Congratulations to me! i passed the NBSTSA CST EXAM January 2015 and i am amazed how much deatiled answers are in this book. The CD in the book is the same questions in the book but in a "quiz" format. i did use the CD more then the book but just depends what type of studying you can do. i had no problem passing this test and will not sell this book, i will keep and continue to recommend to anyone who is looking to be a CERTIFIED SURGICAL TECHNOLOGIST like me.
There are a few wrong answers to the questions and a few lettering errors BUT this book has 1700 questions and prepared me over and above for the CST exam. I have been a tech for 12+ years and in the past have purchased the Association's study guide. I purchased this guide after reading the other reviewers positive feedback and I loved it more! I especially love this study guides practice CD in the back of the book. I highly recommend this book to anyone!
I was so grateful when I came upon this book on this site but I must say, it was a disappointment! I took the exam last week and although I passed, it was by a nose and I've been scrubbing in a main operating room for 15 years. I'm also taking college courses and am getting A's so it has nothing to do with my intelligence level. It's just that the questions in this book are not on the exam. I'd say maybe 1 or 2 are similar. I wish I could recommend something for you but the truth is 90% of what's on the exam, you'll never need to know while working as a scrub tech! I DO recommend knowing lbs. to kg's, cc's to oz, sterilization temps and methods, positioning, infectious diseases, intricacies of general surgery techniques (especially gallbladder problems) and the names of aneurysm clips. I studied this book for 3 months and I used most of the knowledge I had acquired while scrubbing to pass. The CD-ROM is a nice touch and allows you to practice on your computer but you have to name every quiz you take, which is completely unnecessary, and sometimes you have to manually move the test to the next question, it doesn't do it by itself! Good luck!! It's getting more and more difficult to get a job in this biz without the cert!
If you really take the time to do the chapters cover to cover you will mostly get a better score.. In fact some questions are very similiar to the actually examination..
