Kaplan NCLEX-RN Exam 2008-2009 with CD-ROM: Strategies for the Registered Nursing Licensing Exam (Kaplan Nclex-Rn Exam)
Date undefinedThis 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.

Date undefinedThrough 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.

Date undefinedJust 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...)
