This book is intended to aid the student studying Chinese Herbology and preparing for the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in Chinese Herbology module and California Acupuncture Licensing Examination. It is highly recommended to be used to combine with my another book which is Review and Pretest for NCCAOM and California Exams in Chinese Herbology. I have been teaching Chinese Herbology and NCCAOM Board Reivew class since 2009 in Acupuncture college in the US. This book is basically the result of my teaching materials and experience. It includes over 2700 practice questions in Chinese Herbology and is intended to help the student prepare for general class exam and Board licensing exam in Chinese Herbology. I'm honored to share with you Chinese Herbology Practice Tests, a book that represents more than a decade of teaching, clinical experience, and working closely with students preparing for their board exams in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This book is a direct outcome of my classroom instruction and interactions with thousands of students over the years, especially in the area of Chinese Herbology, which is often considered one of the most challenging components of the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) exams. Since 2009, I have been teaching Chinese Herbology and NCCAOM Board Review courses in acupuncture colleges in the United States. In that time, I've noticed a consistent trend: students often feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of herbs, formulas, and clinical indications they are expected to memorize and master. The complexity of learning individual herbs—along with their tastes, temperatures, meridian affiliations, contraindications—and differentiating similar formulas requires not only memorization but also pattern recognition and test-taking strategy. This book was created with those exact challenges in mind. Unlike traditional textbooks, Chinese Herbology Practice Tests is focused entirely on helping students apply their knowledge in a practical, exam-oriented format. It includes over 2,700 practice questions designed to reflect the structure, tone, and content of both the NCCAOM Chinese Herbology module and the California Acupuncture Licensing Examination. These questions are not randomly compiled. Each one has been carefully designed based on actual teaching experience, commonly tested topics, and student feedback on what areas are most difficult. I've organized and refined this question bank over many years, using it in my classroom to help students prepare for quizzes, midterms, finals, and the board exams. The patterns I've observed in student performance have helped me tailor the content to target areas where students most often need improvement. This book is a companion to my other title, Review and Pretest for NCCAOM and California Exams in Chinese Herbology. That book provides the core review material—summarized knowledge points, charts, and key concepts—whereas Chinese Herbology Practice Tests offers a rigorous practice tool to solidify understanding and improve test readiness. Together, these books provide a complete system: one for learning and one for practicing. The practice tests in this book can be used in a number of ways. Students may choose to: Take a full set of practice questions as a pretest to diagnose areas of weakness. Use individual sections to drill specific topics such as herbs that release the exterior, clear heat, or tonify qi. Simulate real testing conditions by taking timed, mixed-topic exams to build endurance and time management skills. One of the most rewarding aspects of compiling this book has been hearing from students who used these questions to pass their exams and feel more confident in their clinical knowledge. Many have told me that the sheer volume and diversity of questions helped them feel more prepared than they ever expected. That's my hope for you, too. Chinese Herbology is a vast and deeply rich field of study, and while this book does not replace traditional textbooks or clinical training, it will give you a practical and highly targeted tool to prepare for your exams. It is structured, challenging, and comprehensive—just like the exams you'll face. In writing this book, I kept thinking about the student sitting at their desk late at night, flipping through flashcards, trying to remember the difference between Bai Zhu and Cang Zhu, or struggling to distinguish between Xiao Yao San and Chai Hu Shu Gan San. This book is for that student—for all of you—who are putting in the hard work to master this ancient medicine in a modern testing environment. If you've used any of my other books—whether for Foundation, Acupuncture, or case study—you'll find that this one follows the same clear, practical, and focused approach. My goal in all of these works has always been to empower students through structure, repetition, and a deeper understanding of TCM conc
