Kaplan NCLEX-RN 2000-2001 (Book with CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh)

Rating:
Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Review: Take it from someone who has passed the board. You only need two books Lippincott & Kaplan. I'm selling both mine. Whatever you score in the practice tests will be almost equal to what you will get on the board. Good for sizing yourself up before taking the board. I cut off at 75Q. Take my advice if you are running out of time. Study concurrently x 5hrs QD x 6-8 weeks. Mosby & Davis are good while your in school, but not for the NCLEX exam.

Summary: Terrific publication for those taking NCLEX-RN!!!
Review: This book is great--it shows how to take the NCLEX-RN, and gives example questions with each test-taking point. It even compares it to possible questions we had while in nursing school. It does have one drawback--you can only use the test on the CD once; if you don't finish the test you may use it again, but that is it. Kaplan shows HOW to think through the questions and answers, with an NCLEX mindset.

Summary: NCLEX-RN 2000-2001 Edition
Review: This book was very helpful in illuminating new ways for me to approach NCLEX questions. The book offers various "paths" or "strategies" to help break down NCLEX questions. With these approaches it is much easier to eliminate answer choices in order to get to the correct answer. The only thing I do not particularly like is the CD-rom that accompanies the book. You are only allowed 2 chances to test because you have to use authorization numbers. I have children and have to tend to them as well as preparing myself for this test. I need more time to practice with the CD-rom and this book/CD-rom kit did not provide me with that extra time or with a CD-rom that I could use more than just one time.
