I found the review manual very helpful in studying for my COA exam. It was precise, and provided me with knowledge of alot of things that I had not dealt with in clinic before. There is alot of "old-school" things in the book, but come in very handy because there is alot of things on the test that are based on technology from years ago. Had I not studied this book, I would have been lost in taking my exam.
I purchased this guide for my COT review, and thank goodness I purchased Stein's book as well or I would not have passed. The book Ledford wrote has incorrect information in the optics section, like figuring out the dioptric power of a magnifying glass. This is just an example of many errors in this text. I also found much easier ways to calculate certain formulas than contained in this text.At first I wasn't so sure that any of this information could be incorrect, however it was confirmed by an O.D. and a COMT. I also wrote to JCAHPO and they stated that Ledford's book was not an approved study guide for the COT examination.Buyer Beware!!!
This manual was excellent in preparing me for my C.O.A. exam. It helps you to realize and improve upon your weak area's and to reinforce your not-so weak area's. It is much like the exam itself. I will definetly be using C.O.T. exam review manual to help study for my C.O.T. exam.
I purchased this book when I was going through the accredited training program at my college to become a COT. It helped me tremendously throughout the program, and still helps me as a graduate today. I learned the eye inside and out, and now frequently answer questions at my job and explain things to other technicians. I studied this book cover to cover as my primary study material, and recently passed the COT written test. :) I only wish Mrs. Ledford purchased a book to help me with the COT skills test in the future.
This book is wonderful for those of you who don't have a lot of sit down time to study. I went through the book and was able to identify the areas I needed to study most. This helped me avoid excess study time in areas I was already fairly comfortable in. It is also a nice size book to carry around with you so whenever you have a free minute, you can quiz yourself. I also used it at work as a trivia game with my other co-workers. It made learning fun! I definately recommend this book to anyone hoping to pass the COA exam.
Janiceyou have responded to one of the negative reviews regarding your COT manual, and you stated that when an error if found you made the corrections. However, have you updated the COT review manuel since 2004, since it is still the second edition?I am currently studing for my COT from your COT review manual, and if those same errors remain I would like to know.I used the COA review manual and pass my test. It was wonderful.Cynthia
This book is very helpful when you want to refine your skills. Whether it be for THE EXAM or for that rarely used skill....this book helps you get the job done.
I passed the COT written test by mostly studying with this book and eyetec.net. I'm glad I purchased it and I am passing it along to the other COAs in my office.
