Customer Reviews

This is a must have to take the NCLEX!

I have read through most of it already and tell you this is a key book to have. There are a hundred books you can buy to prepare for NCLEX, but this is for HOW to take the test. It is not one of the books that offers thousands of sample questions. There are many books to choose from if you want that, too. This book is the best for telling you what the test will look like and how to approach the questions.

Kaplan will help you pass NCLEX

I highly recommend Kaplan products to study for NCLEX. This book goes over various strategies which I found very helpful, and contains 2 practice exams. The grammar and syntax of Kaplan practice questions is similar to the questions presented on NCLEX, so you are calm and comfortable when reading the actual NCLEX questions! If you have any doubts about passing NCLEX on the first try, I strongly suggest you purchase a Kaplan review course. I used the online review course and utilized the question bank, practice exams, and the question trainers to prepare for NCLEX. Their review course costs about $400 but gives you access to over 3,000 questions. I got C's on my last two med-surg rotations but passed NCLEX with 75 questions. I credit my passing score to Kaplan products (and to St. Jude).

A Must Have For New Grads!

This wonderful book is a MUST HAVE for new nursing graduates and those starting nursing school as well. It gives many test taking tips that I didn't learn in nursing school. It's an easy read, and the way the information is presented makes it easy to remember. I will be taking my NCLEX-RN in a few weeks and this book certainly has helped to ease my nerves. What a confidence boost!

kaplan

I believe I passed the RN boards by using this review book. It really gives you a good background in diseases and understanding the basics. I would also recommend lippincot and kaplan to pass the boards. It is true what they say you really cannot study per say for the boards, if you understand what CHF is and all the other disease processes you will pass. One thing they do not stress enough in school is in order to pass the boards you need to do a lot of studing on your own aside from what you get in class. Class is just that enough to pass the class, but may not be enough to pass the boards. Best advise I ever got was do 60 questions in any nclex review book 5 days per wk. take 60 min. then on the other two days of the wk. go back and do a through review of those questions, don't just read what the correct answer is, lots of review books like lippincot will also tell you why the other 3 answers were wrong therefore you get 4 questions and answers from 1 question.

Best in category!

I took the NCLEX-RN 3 weeks ago. I bought every nclex review book I could get my hands on: lippincott, saunders, mosbey, ERI, nclex made easy, etc. The Kaplan book and CD were by far the best and most representative of what I saw on the actual NCLEX exam. I passed with 75 questions and Kaplan had a lot to do with it.
