Let me start by saying I took my boards 11 years ago and only purchased this book as a resource to study for the CSCE portion of NERB, so I can obtain my licensure in another state. I do not have to take the boards again, but if I did and purchased this book for that purpose, I would be even more upset. The website listed does not have answers for the review questions to the 7th edition yet - only the 6th. The questions for the 6th obviously are different than the 7th edition. I realize this book was published about a month ago, with that said, I still feel like the online portion of the text should be up and running as soon as the book is available for purchase (that is the abridged version of this review).I LOVE Mosby's review and it was definitely my study bible when I was studying for my written boards in 2000, so figured getting an updated version would be a smart move. The CSCE is not nearly as difficult as the boards, but being I took my written over 11 years ago, just wanted to brush up on materials. I started reading over the material this morning and when I went to work on the review questions, noticed the answers were not there and could only be found online. First of all, I am all about modern day conveniences and I am online more than I should be (thanks to my iphone), but I have a toddler and trying to study for this test while home with her is impossible enough. I bought an actual book so I can take it with me to the park or the gym - I personally do not want to have to look the answers up on a website (which of course is not even just a simple [...], rather [...]). Seriously? Anyhow, I digress. When I finally have a moment to look up the answers I am shocked to find that THEY ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF ADDING THIS PORTION OF THE 7TH EDITION!!!!!! Trying to find answers to questions online was already considered an inconvenience for me, so you could imagine how I felt when the website states they are still working on the 7th edition study materials. So now, I paid full price for the newest edition of a book that I really did not need but felt compelled to purchase because I am a hygienist (obviously Type A) and HAD to have the most updated information so I can review for the CSCE. Of course, I could look up the answer one by one, but did I mention I have a toddler? Not happening! Should have bought a used 6th edition on for a fraction of the cost!!So, now I have to call the publisher and see how I can acquire an answer key! Great!!! Can not wait!!I am giving the book 2 stars because the content itself is very helpful. If the answers to the study questions were available, I would give the book 5 stars!!! If someone affiliated with this book can somehow help me, please do!!!
I am getting ready for the board exams and needed something to summarize the material. Unfortunately, summarizing is something I did not get. The information is written in organized way, but includes topics that are not needed. Some topics are discussed too deeply. Although it is a decent book to prepare for the boards, I would not use it as a primary source.
This is a great book with lots of information. It took the company a couple of months to register the book. Once you register your book online the answers are under resources. I'm glad I bought the newer edition.
This book is WAY too comprehensive for those studying for boards. The best part about this book is the test questions and rationales (found online: code is in the book). If you are taking NBDHE while in dental hygiene school, this is way too in-depth. There is NO need to re-learn each concept with this much information!However, if you've been out of school for a few years and need to review and re-learn subjects, this is the book for you.I passed my NBDHE the first time studying mainly from Kaplan and using the test questions from this book. I also used the AndyRDH app. I mainly reviewed what I've already learned in school for boards.
I wish I had purchased this book at the beginning of my 1st Dental Hygiene year. The book is so well written, easily readable and the information is very condensed what makes it very interesting to read. Thank you so much
I passed my test, and that's all one can ask from a book like this. As for critique, there isn't much to be said. It's a more comprehensive look at the information likely to be included in the test, than other such books trying to do the same thing.
This is all I needed to prepare for the boards. I didn't read the entire book either. I took the exams and kept track of my scores. If I had a bad score I would go back and skim the chapter. Worth the money.
I was required to get this book for a board review class that was part of my program curriculum. It was not extremely helpful but it wasn't completely unhelpful either. Studying for boards is just like information overload no matter what book you use so the key is to in the first place do the work in the classes while you are in them so it is better engraved in you memory and also start studying early. You can study a lot of info and still get different questions because there is just so much info, but practicing answering these kinds of questions and taking these tests is going to be good for you.
