Early I have purchased two other review books for the NCLEX and I can say, without a doubt, this is the BEST! This book covers everything you need to know. There are practice tests with answers after each chapter so you can review what you have studied and determine if you feel confident enough to go on, or if you need some additional time on the subject. The CD is very beneficial as well. You can take quizes, study tests and even a 100 question exam. The exams are timed, so you learn to pace yourself for the "real thing". I cannot say enough how impressed I am with this study guide. If you are still a nursing student, this book can be a real asset when studying for exams as well!! 24 of 24 people found the following review helpful. You need this book to study for NCLEX!!!! By A Customer Believe me when I tell you that this is "the" guide to study for NCLEX. You will pass your boards if you make dedicated reading time from this book and practice with the test disc. It will also help you if you combine it early on with your nursing studies. No other study guide compares to this one, it is worth your money! See all 42 customer reviews...
