I think this was a great book to use for my review. I in no way would say that using this book solely will guarantee a passing score but in combination with Roger C. Sanders "Exam Preparation for Diagnostic Ultrasound" and Edelman's online X-zone questions I think you will be well on your way. I think the key to passing the abdomen exam is to test your knowledge with as many different questions as you possibly can. In my own opinion, I thought the test was harder than I expected and again, because of the vast amount of information that there is to cover when it comes to the abdomen, I would recommend testing yourself with as many different types of questions as possible! Overall this is a great start if your frustrated and don't know where to begin!

This review book is great for abd review but the RDMS exam that I took was completely different. There were maybe 10% or less questions on the RDMS that were covered in the review book. The RDMS exam has lots of pediatric and other ultrasound questions that the review book didn't cover.

i bought this because i was going in to take abdomen for the 2nd time and i didn't want to make it a 3rd. i had a lot of questions on my registry test that were very similar to these questions. i like how it is organized by organ/body systems also so you can conquer one part at a time. GREAT INVESTMENT!!

Helpful for studying by Steven M. Guillotel (Eagan, MN USA)

This book has many very helpful test questions. I really like that there are explanations with most of the answers as well in case you are confused on why something is the correct answer. These are questions that could possibly be on the board exam, though they may not be the same word for word, they are at least similar to what you might see.

Too Simple by Cherish L. Hockey (Colorado)

Yes, this book has tons of questions and covers lots of material. However, the questions were too simple and didn't really make you think too hard about the answers. The actual board exam requires very involved thought processes and this book just doesn't make you work that hard. I failed the test twice using this book as my main test practice study aide.
