Title: National PTA Examination Review and Study Guide

TherapyEd's PTA Examination Review and Study Guide (3rd edition) is the industry's most respected and comprehensive guide. It's authors, Susan O'Sullivan and Raymond Siegelman, are two of the most distinguished educators in the profession and our exceptional contributors include program directors, senior faculty members, board certified specialists, and experienced clinicians. The third edition has been edited by Karen Ryan and Becky McKnight to insure students have the best and most accurate information about how to prepare for and pass the PTA Examination. The PTA Examination Review and Study Guide prepares students for the PTA Exam with a comprehensive review of physical therapy content, study and test-taking strategies, state licensure information, and three complete simulated exams on CD. Each of the 450 questions has complete rationales for all correct and incorrect answers. A new critical reasoning rationale identifies the reasoning strategy used (inductive, deductive, analysis, inference, or evaluation), the reasoning methodology required, and the specific area of knowledge needed to correctly answer each question. The critical reasoning rationales connect theory to practice, teach students how to analyze challenging exam questions, and improve exam performance. The New CD has "Pass the PTA Exam" software that provides the unique ability to "create an exam" using the entire 450 question database. Test yourself in specific domains, content categories, and critical reasoning skills, or limit the number of questions to fit the time available. The software is the most advanced in the industry and improves your exam score efficiently and effectively . A good way to use the CD is to take one or two of the three pre-set exams. The score reports will identify your strengths and weaknesses. You can then create a customized exam based on your individual needs.
