Keeps engagement for studying.

Well read and good vocal inflection. Helped me prepare for the NCE. Wish me luck! I hear that many have passed by studying this book alone.

great way to study!

this was a great way to study and such an easy listen. i was able to listen to it twice over during my study period once as a review and teaching and second time more like a quiz or practice test! and i passed the nce!

Extra Listening Device Anytime & Anywhere!

This program helped me to review what I had read in the PUPLE Book. It was an extra way for me to hear the audio reading and answer the questions for a double practice guide. I love it. I am taking my Exam Thursday, November 20, 2025. I strongly believe I will pass the NCE.

The Boik

I thoroughly enjoyed the CLEAR, ARTICULATE vocal tone of the Reader. Great in remaining attention to those who may struggle with remaining focused.

the narrator captures the humor of the author

this book guaranteed a Pass if used correctly. I read the book simultaneously with the audio. Rosenthal made the complex 1100 questions interesting with mental ques to reinforce memory and humor to keep me awake. I recommend this as not only a supplement to the book, but also as quick study while driving or cleaning house, etc
Thank you Dr Rosenthal for helping me pass my test!
