Preparing for the Athletic Trainers' Certification Examination

Summary: Can be a good review if used correctly
Review: This book is outdated, but does offer a wide variety of multiple choice questions. You MUST use it as a review and a means to spur new thought and point you in new directions of study. Don't think that reading it cover to cover and learning the answers will help you. Take the tests, find out what you got wrong, and focus on those areas. The Oral section is totally outdated. Your best bet is to read books like Arnheim cover to cover. Talk to ATC's in your school or your area to get their insight. I completed an internship (which is quickly becoming a thing of the past), and after reading countless books passed the written and written sim with flying colors. Don't neglect the practical. I thought this would be the easy part and blew it off. It came back to get me when I failed by 2 points. GOOD LUCK!!

Summary: Irrelevant and outdated
Review: This study guide is not updated to the new NATA format especially concerning the oral practical. The mulitiple choice questions were completely irrelevant.
