Study Guide for the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Specialist Certification Examination

This study guide was very helpful... all I can say is I passed on the first try!

I would recommend this book to anyone who is studying for the NCTRC exam and needs some guidance and practice. The introductory chapters are helpful and provide valuable information on each section of the test with additional sources for a deeper knowledge of the topic. The practice tests in the back of the book are very similar to the exam and help prepare you for the length, content, and time of the test. I felt very confident to take the exam after studying with this book! I was not disappointed.

The exam was difficult, but this book helped more than any other single piece of consolidated text. I recommend you also take the NCTRC practice exam, and study the books from which they get the answers because this book does not go in depth as far as information needed to pass the exam. It is most useful because of the many test questions offered and being able to pinpoint which sections are your weak and strong points.

This Study Guide was well organized and its presentation does not intimidate. I will definitely continue purchasing relative information to the field written by this author.

This guide was a concise and clear way to review the exam material quickly and throughly. I recommend it as a study tool to prep properly for the exam. I used this along with a few outlines from my classes, as a supplement, and I passed the exam yesterday in the first 90 questions. The exam was easier than the study guide's practice tests...if you do well with the practice exams, you'll be fine on the real deal.
