Appleton & Lange Review for the Surgical Technology Examination: Fifth Edition

I am very pleased with the Appleton & Lange test review guide. It has been more than a year since I graduated and the detailed answer section was very helpful in jogging my memory on some of the topics that I was a bit rusty. Also included in the back of the book is a handy test answer grid that you can copy and test yourself multiple times, rather than marking up your book. The book contains a wide sampling of all areas and even on some subjects that I would not have thought to prepare for such as the technological section which covers computers, electricity, physics and robotics. The practice test also has a Subject Listing which was insightful. This allows you to determine what subject areas any incorrect answers occurred in so that you can go back and focus on those particular problem areas for further review.

This book was perfect for making me prepared for my exam. I passed! It covers everything exactly the way you need it to for the test.

The book was a gift for my son, he always has his head in it. Great stuff...

This book was very helpful in reviewing for the examination, however you need to know the material inside and out since the questions in this book are merely generalized.

I have just finished recertifying and most of the questions in this review book were either word for word or a rearrangement of a question from this book. I have taken and passed the CST exam twice using this book as my primary source for study material. My advice as a surgical tech of 16+ years - Buy this book now, you won't be sorry !
