Hi! I'm Dr. Linton Hutchinson and guess what? I been through the same agony and anxiety that you might be experiencing right about now regarding passing your exam!! I really don't like taking tests and look forward to them as much as a trip to the dentist. What I've put together is a way to help you study for the exam so you can get on with your life and put this "experience" behind you as quickly as possible.

You might currently find yourself in a position where you:

• Have to pass this exam to keep your job
• Have to pass the exam to land a job
• Have to pass to further your career

Perhaps you have been out of school for a few years and everything you once knew has become "vapor-ware" either because you've forgot everything or the field has radically change since you received your Degree. It even could be the fact that while you were in school you had a family, raising kids, two jobs, obligations, and even a life and somehow never got around to learning all the Neurological Disorders the week before Christmas... Well, don't throw out the baby with the bath water just yet! Believe me, all that content "IS IN THERE" and it's just a matter of time and review. I've developed this study guide to help you prepare for the national exam or your comps. Take your time and enjoy the journey.
