This review is from: Kaplan NCLEX-RN 2011-2012 Edition with CD-ROM: Strategies, Practice, and Review (Kaplan NCLEX-RN (W/CD)) (Paperback)

I recently passed my NCLEX exam, and i owe it all to this book. I bought several other NCLEX review books to study for my exam, but this one was really all i needed. About 90% of the information that was on the NCLEX is covered in this book, not only are there test taking stragies but theres a content area and several practice quizzes along with a practice exam in the book and on the CD. You have to really study the book though, make sure you know everything it tells you to know, and the book isn't too big so you could get through in probally less than 3 weeks. Trust me, this is the ONLY book you will need to pass your NCLEX, i would suggest Kaplan to any one! And the other great thing about this book is the price, you don't have to fork over $500 for the Kaplan class, just buy the book and you will pass the NCLEX for sure.

My school uses the Kaplan tests each semester and we have to pass a Kaplan predictive test to graduate. I bought this book to help me prepare for my exit test which I passed with flying colors! Then I paid $500 for the Kaplan 4 day class. The class had the same exact info that is in this book. If you prefer to self study in the comfort of your own home and save money then get this book.

This book is great for helping you prep for nclex style exams! It is very expensive if you don't buy it on Amazon! Comes with many good features like a passing gaurentee (or your money back), CD for online review, and even a free online class.
