This review is from: Master The Nursing School and Allied Health Entrance Exams: Expert Test Prep to Score Higher on Your Entrance Exam (Arco Master the Nursing & Allied Health Programs Entrance Exams) (Paperback)

I studied this book for approximately 2 months prior to the PSB examination for entry into Nursing school here in Pittsburgh. The standards are quite high and this book came recommended by the school for prep. I usually find that the school's choices for entry are either WAY too lengthy or not lengthy enough. This book was the perfect balance between the two, in regards to the science portion. I marked it one star down because the outline format, while helpful to some, is a bit of a drawback in the explanation factor and doesn't actually give diagrams or shows anything that would help things stick (for all you visual folks like me). Other than that drawback, BUY IT! It's worth it's money in gold! P.S. I hadn't seen the inside of a biology book in 13 years and it brought everything back and got me into Nursing school!

I originally bought this book because it offered a bit more questions than some of the other titles out there. Once I started going through the book and actually reviewing the content I found the information to be incredibly helpful. Questions that I had difficulty answering were thoroughly explained. As an added bonus to this book and one that will have huge payoffs in the future was the section that explained the financial aid process. I knew there was money out there for schooling; however in my case I didn't really know where to start looking. Now I know EXACTLY where to begin. I must say I am pleasantly pleased and then some with this purchase!

I bought this book in hopes that it would help me with the Nursing Entrance Test (NET). It's a great book if you want to do more than what is on your nursing entrance test. My entrance test only included reading comprehension, grammar, and math. It had some random A&P, psychology, and chemistry questions at the end but they didn't count toward entrance into the program. Find out which company your school uses for their Nursing Entrance Test and they will most likely have a practice booklet with practice tests and rationales. Sometimes they offer more practice tests for a fee. What is it worth to you? I bought this book and after falling asleep many times trying to read it, I broke down and bought the study guide from the company that does the test. I purchased the practice test and was able to take it over and over again for 30 days with explanations of the correct/incorrect answer. I made a 79 on the NET test w/a Superior rating (school average is 59) and was extremely happy with that. If you have lots of time, want more practice, and you are tired of the same practice test from that company than get this book.
A little hint for nursing students: no more memorization of terms. It's all about applying the concepts (understanding what you read and choosing the BEST answer).
