This book is a study guide and exam preparation workbook for Chinese acupuncture. Comprised of 750 questions and answers, it is a book written by an educator who is a licensed acupuncturist.

Section 5, the Case Studies section, combines the reader's knowledge of the prior three sections and calls upon the reader to select the appropriate point prescription for a number of real-life cases.
