Helpful starting point for BMAT candidates, 03 Oct 2005
This book contains tips and advice on what to expect on the BMAT test and what kind of skills you need to develop to do well. The majority of the book is taken up by a worked BMAT style paper. Each question has a commentary about different ways of approach and the techniques that could save you time. It also has copies of the answer sheet you'll have to fill in on the day of the test and the marking scheme. Reading this book alone would not be a complete preparation for the test - unless you ace all the questions - and further study texts are recommended inside. If you're not sure whether to buy it or not, try the online BMAT test first, if you need further explanation of what the test involves this is useful. But if that satistisfies your curiousity, use the time to swot up on your science skills or spend the money on reasoning books instead.
It only took me about 3 hours to go through this book but it did help me evaluate the skills I need to develop.

V.Good & Concise, but the PTT has changed slightly in 2001., 10 Mar 2001
This is a really good book to get if you want an overview of the PTT. However, as any prospective candidate should know, the exam has changed slightly in 2001 and now has a written paper. This does not invalidate the book and it is a really good base from which to gain background information whilst you teach. I've taken BHS exams up to stage 3 whilst at university, and have found this series very useful. It is well written and clear.

I Highly Recommend This Book!!!, 23 Sep 1999
I'm the Manager of the Engineering Dept of a rapidly growing hospital in the USA and this unique and excellent publication "Steam & Diesel Power Plant Operator's Examinations" has been the answer to my search for a method in which to rank and test my staff of engineers and apprentices. I tried my hand at writing engineering test questions which all the more supports my admiration of this work.
