Because of the eligibility requirements in my state and the scheduling of the testing windows, it was almost six months from the time I graduated until I got to take the VTNE. And I was not working in a vet-related field during those six months so I had plenty of time to start to forget what I had learned. I was also pretty lax about studying for the upcoming test up until the final two weeks. The CD that comes with this book saved me. I spent almost no time studying my class notes from school and concentrated almost exclusively on working with the CD. The result? I passed, and with a pretty high score.

The major advantage to working with this book/CD is that the questions are structured just like the ones you will encounter on the test. I swear I even recognized a few of the test questions from the book as I sailed through the exam. The major disadvantage I can see is that instead of studying the subjects in depth you are in essence "teaching to the test," but since this is intended as a review and not a primary study guide, that's OK. I did, however, find a few questions for which the answer key was obviously incorrect, so if there's a question that you really believe you answered correctly and the CD says it's wrong, doublecheck it with other sources. I bought the review book (ISBN 978-0323052146) that goes with this one, but never even opened it. I also purchased the Peterson's review (ISBN 978-0768933727) but this was the one that I settled on as most useful.

Good luck on the VTNE!

This is a decent review book but it is difficult to use unless you exclusively use the CD that comes with it because you are constantly having to flip back and forth to check your answers. Not ideal for anyone. The CD eliminates that problem, but you can only run it on a desktop or laptop and cannot use it on a tablet. Since many people are starting to only have tablets, this needs to be updated somehow.

Also, there are numerous errors. You choose what you know is the right answer and the CD marks it as incorrect. Sometimes they are very obvious and sometimes not. Hopefully the person studying will be familiar enough with the material to realize their answer was correct despite being marked incorrect and not second guess themselves when it comes to the VTNE.

The level of the questions is well done, however. Other review books I have use very basic questions, but Mosby does seem to step it up a bit.

As I said, it's a decent review, but I can't give it more than 3 stars. I recommend getting more than one review book, and also looking into some of the newer online review courses, such as the one on VSPN.org or VetTechPrep.com
