Summary: NCLEX-RN Exam 2008-2009
Comment: This product is a favorite of both students and educators in the ADN program in which I teach. For a number of years now we have recommended it to help students prepare for their NCLEX-RN. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn HOW to answer NCLEX style questions. This is not a content mastery book but a strategies book.

Summary: EXCELLENT PREPARATION FOR THE NCLEX-RN
Comment: Through my years of nursing school, the NCLEX exam grew to be a scary bugaboo that loomed after graduation. Out of fear, I purchased assorted NCLEX manuals, cards, and software to help me prepare. Regardless, my anxiety level was high. When a casual friend mentioned Kaplan's NCLEX-RN, I decided to allocate scant resources for yet another NCLEX manual. Happy Day! This book is different. It teaches Test Strategy. I learned techniques to calmly sift through alternatives and arrive at correct answers. On 'test day,' I walked into the exam area confident and relaxed. In less than one hour, I walked out the same way. The computer ended the exam after the minimum number of questions. PASSING SCORE! Thank You, Kaplan.

Summary: Great resource for NCLEX studying!
Comment: Just passed the NCLEX on my first try! This was one of 2 books I purchased as NCLEX study guides. I found the strategies on how to think about the questions to be very helpful. The questions on the 2 practice exams (one in book, one on CD-ROM) were worded more closely to and required you to think critically just as "real" NCLEX questions. The other book I bought was more content review...which this book is not. This book is simply strategy for tackling questions, and 2 practice exams with very helpful rationales for each answer choice, why it's right or wrong. But compared to the other book I bought for content review, the questions in this book were more hlepful in preparing for the real exam. It's not a thick book and it's very easy to get through. Simple, yet thorough -- not a waste of time and a great book to add to your studying!
(I gave 4 stars instead of 5 becasue the CD-ROM practice test wasn't as great as I had hoped. It's 180 questions, and you have to do the entire exam all at once - timed - and there's NO way to pause it for any reason. Which is possibly because this is the way the real NCLEX is, but still...)

Summary: Must have for NCLEX-RN review!!
Comment: Not a great source of questions but an excellent source for strategies and confidence. I feel that you must first read this book before attempting to review with any other question only book.
