This was a helpful guide as I studied to take my CCDS exam. However, I was very surprised at the number of misspelled words and obvious lack of proof-reading or editing prior to publication. For the money it is not a great example of a "polished, professional" product.
Was disapointed in the content of the exam book. Would have liked to have seen more in depth clinical references. Very over priced for what you get.
I used this guide and I don't want to give it all the credit, but I passed this test the first time I took it.
I was thinking that there would be more test questions. I would like more of what I actually would experience in the test environment
Lacking, not enough content to be considered a study guide for the CCDS. Very disappointed, certainly not worth the cost.
excellent book. hope it helps me pass the exam. great information for taking the exam. will provide more feedback later.
