Polysomnography Workbook Vol I

Summary: Like the text, it needs revision in a big way
Review: ...Over 20% of the answers or questions need to be corrected for wording or accuracy. More than 10 of the 200 answers directly contrast the information provided in the author's own textbook (which is also unreliable). This book is so flawed in logic, accuracy, and specificity... I think the format is the only thing positive about the book. I wouldn't purchase it again. If you are a sleep center and plan on incorporating this into your training program, be sure to review and correct (read, re-write it) before using it for trainee instruction.
Anyway, you should definitely be skeptical about learning this book as written. Actually, the process of correcting it was definitely good practice for the exam... it may have some value after all.

Summary: BOTH BOOKS VERY HELPFUL, WELL WORTH THE COST
Review: I AGREE THAT THERE WERE SOME MINOR ERRORS BUT OVERALL A WORTHWILE TEXT. THERE ARE NOT MANY OTHER SOURCES THAT ONE CAN REVIEW TO GET A SAMPLE OF WHAT WILL BE ON THE BOARDS.THE EPOCHS WERE GOOD EXAMPLES OF WHAT WILL BE FOUND ON THE TEST. THE AUTHOR SHOULD PUT OUT SEVERAL MORE EDITIONS OF THE WORKBOOK.

Summary: Better than you think
Review: This book gives the reader an excellant overview of the subject matter. To my eye there are some errors but they do not reduce the quality to any significant degree. The questions are very deverse. I especially like the sample epochs. As a trained tech I think that this book is very helpful for the boards. It compliments the Fundamentals text well. It could be made better but it is not as near as costly as any of the APT materials.
