Customer Reviews

this book helps a lot

I wanted to pass the NCLEX the first time I did it. So I got this book to help and yes it did. There were more strategies in this book compared to other books or internet resources I used. For example, one of my weaknesses was answering medication questions. this book has a chapter dedicated to answering pharmacology questions. I reviewed the book a month before practicing any questions and the night before taking the NCLEX to make sure I used the strategies well. Hope this helps anyone wanting to buy this book. You will not regret it.

Don't wait. This is one of the best review books. I have passed NCLEX-RN examination with this book

I failed my first RN exam on July, 2007. Since the failure, I began to use Saunders Strategies for Success for the NCLEX-RN, and luckly but not surprisingly, I passed the exam only 77 questions after 3 months, without using Kaplan's materials.

Read it NOW - it really helps!

I wish I had started reading this book at the beginning of nursing school. It would have been useful to help me figure out how to answer questions. My understanding has improved 100-fold since getting this book. I feel more and more confident with my tests and less anxious about taking the NCLEX once I graduate in May

Like a private tutor in your home

This is by far the best review book I have come across. I just passed the NCLEX RN on my third try after reading Linda's book cover to cover twice. On my first two attempts, I had not heard about her book yet. Her strategies and hints are totally on the level, understandable, and there's no little games or tricks involved. It's plain English and lifts the NCLEX "veil" and the mystery to tackling this beast. It's also very affordable, no false promises involved. Use this with the Saunders Comprehensive Review Book for the NCLEX RN, keep doing review questions in the book and on the disks. They get easier and easier as you go along and your confidence will steadily increase. If you buy one review book before taking your boards, get this one. You won't regret it.
