Mosby's Comprehensive Review for Veterinary Technicians

This book came in PERFECT CONDITION!

I used this book one month prior to sitting for my VTNE. It was helpful, but if you don't known your basic knowledge, this is not the book to review with. I think this is best used as a supplement if you already work in practice, or in addition to your class notes. I liked having a physical paper, that I could take with me on slow nights at the ER.Pros:-bullet point format, no lengthy reading required.-lots of helpful charts/graphs/pictures, which breaks up the monotony of reading sometimes.-updated information, especially in the section of critical/emergency care and diagnostics (blood/ua/cytology)- code for use of online tests and practice-has easy to identity sections to help you find which area you are looking to study-quizzes at the end of each chapter, which I found the MOST helpful part of the entire bookCons:-the avian/exotic animal section (pets, not lab animal) has a lot of outdated or incorrect information, which can show up frequently on the VTNE- there is not justification of the hundreds of answers to the practice test questions. In some cases I doubted the answer, or didn't know where to find the information to review in the giant chapter, so I didn't know why I missed the question- the practice website leaves A LOT to be desired. The questions do not change, if you take a practice VTNE, it will be the exact same the next time, except the questions will be in a different order. Only useful for a couple review sessions. I wish it had the entire bank of questions from the book.Overall, I found the book helpful in preparing for my VTNE, which I passed on my first try. Having used the Colville review prior, I preferred this review book over the Colville hands down.

This is a great tool for the VTNE! I am starting a year ahead and getting into it to prepare myself early on, and this book seems to do a great job at that. The only thing I worry about is with it being a book and not being able to mix up the questions, I may get to a point where I just know the answer because I have done it so many times. So I intend to use this as a guide to know what to study, and when I feel I have a full understanding of the topics, then I will try the tests in the book. This way I do not simply memorize them, but know them.

I bought several study aids for my VTNE, I liked how this one reviewed everything in a nice summary of all the subjects. However I found some of the questions to have incorrect or inconsistent answers. I did like how the answer key explained the answers. I would recommend this book for the review, but be very wary of the inconsistencies with the answer keys. I bought several study aids for the VTNE, and over anything else I would recommend this: Review Questions and Answers for Veterinary Technicians, 5th Edition by Heather Prendergast. I recommend this one over anything else because I actually recognized questions on the VTNE word for word from the Prendergast book. This gets 4 stars though because it was still helpful in preparation for the test.

I had all my books and notes from school to study from and it was so difficult to get the information needed from all of them. This book was awesome to put it all in one place and then if I needed further clarification that this did not include I would reference back to my other texts. It requires you to already understand the concepts so it will not necessarily "teach" you the material.I recently passed the test with this book being one of the only things I used to study from.

I am so thankful I found this book, it has been extremely helpful as both a reference guide and VTNE review. Really wish I had it during school, as the book is done in an outline format that would have supplemented the course material and made it easier to understand.

For class readings, I need to be able to look up the pages to read, but this format does not allow me to view it in full page/pdf format. The page numbers are all off.

Great study guide and there is alot of important information provided in this text.A little expensive but the book was required for school. Can be used to study for boards and as a reference guide in the future.I would recommend this textbook.

I'm a second year VT and this book has been a god send! Can't wait to use it to pass my VTNE! Great online version as we are all in online Schooling and I hate the big bulky books

Would deffinatly recommend for VTNE prep but I would also recommend it to current students as it has a silent breakdowns of the various subjects and would deffinatly have been helpful for me.

Good review material, but in the kindle version I have most of the tables are fuzzy and hard to read. Also some of the answers in the back are not correct for the questions, you have to read through the, carefully.

On time and good

Came on time, nicely packaged so that water wouldn't get in especially since it snowed pretty heavy that week. It has all the information and more. Great tool to review and prepare for the vtne.
