This review is from: NCLEX-RN Q&A (Princeton Review Series) (Paperback)

I used this book after I completed a week long NCLEX review session to test myself and evaluate if the review was helpful. I scored just as poorly on the practice tests before as after the review course. The questions are outdated and the strategies given to me by the review intructor were not beneficial in taking these particular test questions. I thought some the questions were flawed and the answers sometimes just plain incorrect, as well as typos, which makes one wonder if the correct answers were typos. Also, the rationales are vague and do not fully explain why incorrect answers are incorrect. Very frustrating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent way to prepare for the NCLEX-RN!, June 24, 2000

This review is from: NCLEX-RN Q&A (Princeton Review Series) (Paperback)

I found this book to be an extremely efficient aid to study for the NCLEX exam. The book is written to simulate actual questions on the exam and is set up in a format that enables the reader to test their knowlege in order to focus studying only the areas that you are weak in. The book contains 17 tests of 120 questions each that are selected in the same content manner as the NCLEX exam. I reccomend this book highly in preparing to take the exam.

This review is from: NCLEX-RN Q&A (Princeton Review Series) (Paperback)

This book is the only book you will ever need to buy to prepare yourself for the NCLEX EXAM. This book prepares you by taking seven tests and is all you will need to be successful. Although there were a couple of minor type O's, I found this book to be extremely helpful. Theresa,RN,BSN.(Detroit, MI)
