Purchase options and add-ons

Anyone interested in becoming a veterinary technician must complete a two-year accredited associate degree and then take the Veterinary Technician National Exam.

Peterson’s Master the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) guide offers crucial test-prep strategies and skill-building review for this essential exam. In addition, readers will find the information they need to know about the responsibilities of a veterinary technician job, the steps to become a veterinary technician, and invaluable expert preparation and practice on the seven test topics of the VTNE listed below.

Part I provides an overview of a veterinary technician's job and details on the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE).

Part II is a preview of the exam ― a diagnostic test to determine strengths and weaknesses on questions that are just like the ones that appear on the VTNE. The guide includes test answers with complete explanations.

Part III is a comprehensive overview of subjects on the VTNE, with chapters on:

  • pharmacy and pharmacology
  • surgical preparation and assisting
  • laboratory procedures
  • animal care and nursing
  • anesthesia and analgesia
  • dentistry
  • diagnostic imaging

Part IV offers 2 full-length written practice tests, with questions similar to those on the actual exam.

Peterson’s Master the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) Appendixes offer a valuable glossary of medical terms and abbreviations used on the test and a list of resources recommended by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

Very educational needed it to study for a test and made it easy to understand

Very helpful for VTNE prep!
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2011
I purchased the kindle edition for $2.99 and for the price, it's a fairly good book to use in conjunction with other VTNE review books. It starts with a chapter discussing the job of a Veterinary Technician and how to find a job as a VT which is a waste of paper for those of us that have attended accredited programs. The second chapter is a 200 question baseline test, for you to get an idea on what sections you need help with.
The third section consists of 7 chapters broken down into sections on the test. Each chapter has an overview and a list of topics that you could be tested on, making it easy to streamline your studying. You're given about 10 specific practice questions, an answer key and then an explanation of each answer.
The last portion of the book is 2 practice tests.

While I wouldn't suggest using only this book to study for your exams (unless you've just graduated and/or are very comfortable with the information) I highly suggest purchasing the kindle edition. It's a good price for a few extra tests to practice on.

Very informative. Well worth the purchase. Found a few typos and was able to review and correct with help from other vet techs through fb groups.

Reviewed in Canada on March 17, 2024
After being a tech for over 20 yrs, the answers are not always real life practical. I bought this to challenge myself.
Also keep in mind, this is American based not Canadian, so it may throw you off on some of the questions.
Wouldn't recommend this particular exercise book, I'm sure there are better ones.
The paper is that thin crappy cheap type.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing...
Reviewed in Canada on July 4, 2015
This book is disappointing. It's essentially, 3 practice tests with a lot of filler and common sense in between. Lots of stuff about writing a resume and how to sign up to write the exam.

One of their tests is called a 'diagnostic test' but does nothing to help you see what sections you should focus on. So it's really just another practice test.
So if you just want some practice tests with detailed answers, this it it. But I feel like my money would have been better spent with other online practice tests.

Not what I expected. No study content, just 3 exams, and the printing is done quite cheaply
