Summary: Great!
Comment: Brand new with CD as described - exactly what I thought I would get. Thanks!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fairly Good, But Includes Factual Errors
Comment: I am only doing the pediatric section so far, but have discovered factual errors. For example, question 155 in the pediatric section: An infectious process that could cause meningitis would have which sign? You have to choose between headache and stiff neck, but either one of these could indicate meningitis. Consider question 205, which suggests that lymphocytic thyroiditis is temporary. No, only the subacute form is temporary, but they left out the word "subacute" -- otherwise it would be chronic, Hashimoto's disease.
Another problem with the book is that the pages come out easily, with only slight pressure.
But most of these NCLEX books do contain a lot of factual errors. I feel like they should hire me as an editor; the so-called editors for most of these books must be whiskey drinkers.
It's a decent book, compared to the others. Not the best, but in the mid-range. I would buy it again, but double-check the answers to make sure they're correct.

Summary: Passed NCLEX first time!
Comment: This book was so helpful! It was a great book that was easy to follow and included only pertinent information. I passed the NCLEX first time at 75 questions!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Above Average NCLEX Study Guide
Comment: I bought this book for the CD . . .
Strengths
- short quiz or full exam mode
- over 50 detailed sections
- an electronic log of past quiz scores
- shuffling of quiz questions so you are always taking a "new" quiz
Weaknesess
- No option to print out individual questions
- pretty simple explanations for why answers are correct or wrong
- necessary to retake quizzes to find correct answers
Overall, the best NCLEX books you can buy are from Mary Ann Hogan - Prentice Hall's Reviews & Rationales: Comprehensive NCLEX-RN(R) Review (Prentice Hall Nursing Reviews & Rationales Series). However, it would cost over $100 to get all the separate books that this covers

Summary: Great review book!
Comment: I bought this book my 2nd semester in nursing school and it helped pass exams and gain a better understaning of the material. Doing NCLEX questions as a way to study for exams is a great way to study! Now this is helping me prepare for the NCLEX. This remains my favorite (I have used 3 different reviews). I highly reccomend it, and my friends who have other review books tend to like it better as well. The review outlines are extremely helpful, and the questions and rationales provided are great! Their CD is better too because it allows you to bookmark questions to go back to later. You can also narrow questions down on a more specific level (i.e. pediatric pharmacology). Hope this helps, good luck!
