This book is a good reference tool for those seeking National Board Certification, but I don't think I'd recommend it for anyone else. I wish I'd had when I did my National Boards. It would have cleared up a lot.

I use this book weekly when working with National Board candidates. This book has so much to tell us about the NB journey. Thoughtful and informative. The best book for candidates and support providers out there.
