Rad Tech's Guide to Radiation Protection
I spent 5 days reading this book ('06 version) cover to cover, making notes in the margins, hilighting and drawing my own diagrams, answering every question and every worksheet page. This is the only prep I had time to do to take the RT exam. Had I not read this book, there were several questions I would not have been able to answer. It also covered - extensively enough - a few things I had not studied at all.
I passed!
I also had the 2003 version, and there are some noticable differences, such as a missing page of necessary(habitus) diagrams that was a printing error in 06. Some of the review questions have a wrong answer, which are obvious if your paying attention.
This is not just a book full of Q&A or Outline review.
This book is formated:
informational overview of each subject
review questions (name each body habitus and give a description)...
questions (multiple choice)
answer page - has reasons as to why each answer was right/wrong.
I had 2 other Review books and tossed them both aside.
