The Biggest Mystery: Books to Study for PCE Written

A very common question that annoys many PCE candidates because everyone has a different opinion based on their experiences is “WHAT BOOKS TO STUDY FOR PCE WRITTEN.” The most common answer to this question you may have heard is: “If you just study, Magee, Kisner, Sullivan, and Therapy Ed, you will pass the exam!”

 

At PCE Final Frontier we believe in taking the right steps towards successful results through a thorough process instead of focusing on shortcuts. PCE Final Frontier provides an exclusively curated timetable for both its Full Live Course and Independent Study Bundle candidates to save time of going through every single page from these recommended textbooks. The timetable is made according to the CAPR blueprint.

 

Based on the numerous references by CAPR, we strongly recommend you study the following books to make your basics strong for your PCE Written:
