This book is wonderful for those of you who don’t have a lot of sit down time to study. I went through the book and was able to identify the areas I needed to study most. This helped me avoid excess study time in areas I was already fairly comfortable in. It is also a nice size book to carry around with you so whenever you have a free minute, you can quiz yourself. I also used it at work as a trivia game with my other co-workers. It made learning fun! I definately recommend this book to anyone hoping to pass the COA exam.

I purchased this guide for my COT review, and thank goodness I purchased Stein's book as well or I would not have passed. The book Ledford wrote has incorrect information in the optics section, like figuring out the dioptric power of a magnifying glass. This is just an example of many errors in this text. I also found much easier ways to calculate certain formulas than contained in this text.

At first I wasn't so sure that any of this information could be incorrect, however it was confirmed by an O.D. and a COMT. I also wrote to JCAHPO and they stated that Ledford's book was not an approved study guide for the COT examination.

This manual was excellent in preparing me for my C.O.A. exam. It helps you to realize and improve upon your weak area’s and to reinforce your not-so weak area’s. It is much like the exam itself. I will definetly be using C.O.T. exam review manual to help study for my C.O.T. exam.

I found the review manual very helpful in studying for my COA exam. It was precise, and provided me with knowledge of alot of things that I had not dealt with in clinic before. There is alot of “old-school” things in the book, but come in very handy because there is alot of things on the test that are based on technology from years ago. Had I not studied this book, I would have been lost in taking my exam.
