Customer Reviews

An excellent study guide for the RRT and CRT exams!!

This book helped me out alot while I was in respiratory school and helped prepare me for the tough questions and the structure of both the CRT and RRT board exams by the NBRC

I passed the RRT

I used this book along with some tapes from kettering and some practice simulations on the kettering website and I passed both parts of the RRT the first time. I think this book is a good review of what is on the test, but I don't recommend using this book alone.

I bought it for the pictures . . .

Actually, I bought it for the hemodynamics. I found (and still find) the book to be quite helpful. The layout is very basic - just the listing of information. That almost put me to sleep occasionally because I do better with an outline style (I use this and a Persing review together and that's perfect for me). The illustrations and tables in the Sills are definitely among the better I've seen in these books.
