Lippincott's Q&A Review for NCLEX-RN® (Lippincott's Review for Nclex-Rn)

Lippincott's Q&A Review for NCLEX-RN® (Lippincott's Review for Nclex-Rn) I used this book in my last semester of nursing school and to study for the NCLEX. It is just a mess load of questions. I like it because it is broken down into different focus areas. This was extremely helpful when studying for exams. The rationales were clear concise and helpful. I wish I had used to before the final semester actually. I also used it to study for the NCLEX but I focused on the disk which doesn't have as many questions as the book but with over 1,200, I did not get through all of them. Again, the disk had clear, concise rationales as well. The format allowed for different test taking options. Between Lippincott and Saunders, I don't think a person will miss much material.

Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN® Examination (Saunders Comprehensive Review for Nclex-Rn) Now this was a really good book for reviewing and preparing for the NCLEX. Although I used several books, I really could have only used this one as I relied on it the most. I used other books for a variety because I, personally, did not want to rely on only one editor for my questions. The main thing I uses this for was the disk. I popped that into my computer and did at least 100 questions per sitting. It took me about two and a half hours to answer the questions, review them and  go over the rationales. The rationales are very clear and it also gives strategies to answer that particular question. This is far above one of the best books I used in studying for the NCLEX. The disk is the best.   

Cracking the NCLEX-RN?

Cracking the NCLEX-RN with Sample Tests on CD-ROM, 8th Edition (Professional Test Preparation) I wanted to talk about this book since I purchased it to help me through nursing school. I would have posted something sooner but ... well, I was in nursing school :). This book was great for review and to help me understand some concepts that I was not getting. I recommend it for the review purposes. It is a great tool in that regard but as far as the disk goes and using it to study for the NCLEX? Don't waste your time putting the disk into your computer. I thought since I had it why not do some simulated study questions. Well, it was a waste of time because the questions were not written very well and there were no rationals.    But it is a great review tool.
