Because of the eligibility requirements in my state and the scheduling of the testing windows, it was almost six months from the time I graduated until I got to take the VTNE. And I was not working in a vet-related field during those six months so I had plenty of time to start to forget what I had learned. I was also pretty lax about studying for the upcoming test up until the final two weeks. The CD that comes with this book saved me. I spent almost no time studying my class notes from school and concentrated almost exclusively on working with the CD. The result? I passed, and with a pretty high score.
The major advantage to working with this book/CD is that the questions are structured just like the ones you will encounter on the test. I swear I even recognized a few of the test questions from the book as I sailed through the exam. The major disadvantage I can see is that instead of studying the subjects in depth you are in essence "teaching to the test," but since this is intended as a review and not a primary study guide, that's OK. I did, however, find a few questions for which the answer key was obviously incorrect, so if there's a question that you really believe you answered correctly and the CD says it's wrong, doublecheck it with other sources. I bought the review book (ISBN 978-0323052146) that goes with this one, but never even opened it. I also purchased the Peterson's review (ISBN 978-0768933727) but this was the one that I settled on as most useful.
Good luck on the VTNE!

The format is a decent one, and covers a thorough amount of material. However, the number of errors, and the lack of response from the company is disheartening. I was diligent at doing the first several chapters, but found that my list of errors just kept getting longer, requiring me to use alternate, more reliable sources I already had for accurate information. I did not open the CD, since I felt it would not benefit.
I have taken two review online courses, and find both much more accurate, responsive, and well thought out in terms of material offered.
