Reviews
"I was previously told that the only things I needed to do to pass Step 2 CS was to speak english well and wash my hands, but that is not always the case!"
"I also used the Phillip Brothman book from Kaplan, as I found the actual test preparation tips in the Kaplan book better, but the cases and contingencies in this older edition of First Aid are good."
"The test hasn't really changed outside of a few minor details, which are pretty inconsequential when studying for the exam. I had my girlfriend play the patient, and despite having no medical background and only about 5 mins to review the case before we practiced, she had no issues following along and answering the questions I came up with."
"My school has us doing clinical skills examinations (CSEs) where we have to do a history, focused physical, and post-encounter note during our 2nd year so I used this book to prepare for those!"
"I will recommend this book for every medical student preparing for OSCE."
"My advice for you is to practice on the USMLE website on writing down the HPI (history of presenting illness) as the amount of characters available is limited."
"Covers everything you need for CS."
"I was reading the book today and noticed that pages 335-366 were missing."

Reviews
"About a week before my test I started reading through it, breaking it up into small sections for each day. This test felt very easy (I think I got like 86% correct) so I was feeling pretty confident. There were questions coming out of left field that were never mentioned in the class or this book. As you can imagine I wasn't feeling particularly confident at that time, but the next day I checked the website to see that coveted "Congratulations" message. My advice for the test- Make sure you know the patient assessment procedure like the back of your hand, know your ABC's (or CAB if the patient is unresponsive), know the normal vital signs, know the 6 or so medications detailed in the book, and know the most important medical conditions (shock, stroke, burns, anaphylaxis, etc) and you will be good to go."
"Has all the important bullets of all relevant chapters for the test."
"It is straightforward, presents relevant information, and gives resources to further study."
"I was challenging the exam to recertify my license, so haven't taken the classes in awhile."
"I recommend brushing up on pharmacology actual terms (sildenafil instead of viagra) because the test will not use its brand name, but other than that this was a pretty comprehensive study guide."
"I bought this so I could do the online tests while reviewing the material to see how I was doing."
"If you have gone through a refresher or two , this is the perfect study guide for you."
"I went through the EMT program at Glendale Community College in Arizona."

A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge ( PMBOK® Guide )—Fifth Edition (ENGLISH)
A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) –Fifth Edition reflects the collaboration and knowledge of working project managers and provides the fundamentals of project management as they apply to a wide range of projects.
Reviews
"As a project management instructor and course developer at a state university, a project management keynote speaker, and someone who has been training project managers for nearly two decades, I highly recommend this book. - You will need another book since many exam concepts aren't even covered in the PMBOK. I personally like PMP Exam Prep, Seventh Edition: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam or CAPM/PMP Project Management Certification All-in-One Exam Guide with CD-ROM, Second Edition. - When submitting project experience on the application, you can submit work even if your title was not Project Manager. ***Update (Sep 2013)***. New editions of the books I linked to above were released: - PMP Exam Prep, Eighth Edition: Rita's Course in a Book for Passing the PMP Exam. - CAPM/PMP Project Management Certification All-In-One Exam Guide, Third Edition."
"So, go ahead and buy another book on studying for the PMP exam, but if that book covers any topic(s) that are NOT in THIS BOOK, you are learning content that is irrelevant for this exam. I bought Joseph Phillips study guide, and although it was helpful, there were many terms and content items NOT in the PMBOK guide, and therefore I did not get any questions on the real exam related to those terms/topics. Also, I took 5 practice exams from 3 different sources (one was from the Joseph Phillips CD) which turned out to give me false confidence because the real exam was a LOT harder. I recommend memorizing the 47 processes and being able to write them down in the chart before you take the exam."

Reviews
"Biology went over mitosis and meiosis, but rather unclear and it didn't call the phases what it asks for on the exam, so learn those from another source (G1, etc.). This book gives you the vague overview of what would be on the exam, and it's up to you to fill in the more detailed bits...which is ridiculous. It's free, although you can unlock a full version for $12 or $13, I don't remember, and the practice tests are awesome. The best thing you can actually do is get this book, get the app, and make sure to take some peppermints and earplugs with you because the clicky-clack of other people pressing mouses and computer keys WILL get on your nerves."
"Elsevier's Hesi Admission Assessment Exam Review is an excellent comprehensive guide that includes eight concise sections that are featured in the exam; this guide is easy to navigate as well."
"Brand new book and very helpful for studying great source of info for the HESI exam."
"The book is good."
"This did help me on some of the subjects to study for the HESI exam."
"The review is alright, although I can't seem to find out how to access the online material."

Vision for Life, Revised Edition: Ten Steps to Natural Eyesight Improvement
Vision for Life presents an approach to eye health for people with 20/20 vision who wish to maintain their perfect vision as well as people who see poorly and would like to improve their eyesight. Based in part on the established Bates Method of eyesight improvement and in part on his own professional and personal discoveries, Meir Schneider's pioneering approach has helped thousands of people successfully treat a host of eye problems, including near- and farsightedness, astigmatism, lazy eye, double vision, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, retinitis pigmentosa, and nystagmus. The reader learns how to reverse developing issues before they cause damage or to remedy existing problems, including pathologies such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, and optic nerve neuropathy. "I have been impressed with the work of Meir Schneider for many years, having personally seen the improvements in vision of those who have worked with him." “Based on the Bates Method, Meir Schneider’s self-healing system has complemented my practice in those cases where our traditional medicine has its limitations.”. —Leonardo Verri Paulino, MD, ophthalmologist and anterior segment surgeon at ABC Medical School, São Paulo, Brazil. “Working with my patients has verified that many sight problems get better and heal by taking up the right habits. Named one of the ten most inspirational people of Israel by a top national Israeli news program, MEIR SCHNEIDER is the founder and head teacher of the School for Self-Healing in San Francisco, which offers programs that satisfy the continuing education requirements of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). Born blind, Schneider taught himself to see and over 40 years developed a pioneering program of healing and recovery for the sighted and the blind, sharing his remarkable results not only at the School for Self-Healing, but also in popular books, CDs, and DVDs.

Reviews
"To be honest, they didn't cover the questions that people coming into essential oils really want to know. Most guides will give you ways to mix your essential oils in diffusers or in bath salts. There are your typical bath salt recipes, but they are detailed and do cover more than just mixing the oils in. There were times in this guide where it was very clear the writer did not speak or write English as a first language. There were times when the lack of translating/editing was glaring and it made certain portions difficult to read or follow. I don't need to see water boiling, but seeing what the finished bath salts or lotions look like does help to entice the reader and makes them want to try the recipe. There are a ton of oils on Amazon right now labeled as therapeutic or essential when in fact they aren't. This rating is based on how close to the title the book is, the information it brings to the table, and how likely I would be to recommend it to one of my natural health clients. I'd really like to see the writers change things up and come out with a real guide and then a recipe book. I think the two combined would make a great starter package and would set them apart from the hundreds of guides out there."
"The book was very easy to read. I love how it gives you the basics of what an essential oil is along with the examples of said oils."
"Essential Oils are something that I have on my must try list but I have never checked off, for whatever reason. This book is fantastic for those who are first time Essential Oils user or people who have been using them for a while. The author did a great job explaining the different ways to use them and the different types of oils and what they do."
