Customer Reviews

Great Review Book!!! I Just Passed today!!!

Don't let anyone tell you different, I got this review manual and studied basically nothing but it and just passed my COA today!!! I was even told at Jacapho, that I have waisted my time studying this book and that I should have rescheduled my exam cause none of the questions that are in this book are on the exam!! Well guess what she was not right!! Even though the wording is not verbatium, the information is very valuable- it is a study guide, not the answers to the COA test!! Without it I would not have passed!! It made me aware of the things that I needed to read and do more research on and focus more on those things verses reading some huge book full of words and not really making you think through the whys and why nots- this book is so great cause if you don't get the question correct, it goes into detail and explains why, which proves to be way more valuable!!! GET IT!!!

A must have when studying for the COA exam

This book is a valuable tool in studying for the COA test. I bought this book after reading many reviews. I would like to say, if you are even thinking about the COA test, you must have this study guide. I found that the sections were well laid out, the answers were well defined. This book is a much better resource than the COA Manuel purchased from the Academy. When you finish this study guide, you will be more than prepared for the COA exam!!! It is well worth the investment and will become a resource guide for you and for your office.

Ophthalmic Trivia - makes studying fun!

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.

Very Helpful for Refreshing Your Skills!

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.

certified ophthalmic assistant exam review manual

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.
