5.0 out of 5 stars Made a HUGE difference!, March 27, 2004

By	Juli Ferrante (Coral Springs, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Review Guide for RN Pre-Entrance Exam (National League for Nursing Series) (Paperback)

I had 9 whole days to study for the NLN test. I had never taken anatomy, physics, microbiology, mechanics, electricity, and Im only half-way through chemistry. I havent had math in 20 years. So I was a bit worried when I got this book and saw how uneducated I was on the science section and how rusty I was on the math. But I read the science section 5 times and took ALL the pactice tests. I also studied every question I got wrong. There really wasn't much I could do to practice for the reading test, but taking the practice tests helped me figure out 'their style' of testing so I was better able to figure the correct answer. The bottom line is, I scored a 151 which is in the 99% - top 1% score in the country - and I couldnt have done it without this book! But just buying it isn't enough - take EVERY test in the book and if you don't know your science, read the science review as many times as you can. When you score your test, go back and find out WHY you got an answer wrong. Tip: dont circle the answers in the book, but write them on a separate piece of paper, so you can go back and take the tests again. The real test was just like the review book. Also, be aware of TIME - I used every minute during the real exam! You need to do each test in the practice book in 45 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Representation of Test Questions, October 26, 2006

By	Brenda (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Review Guide for RN Pre Entrance Exam, 2nd Edition (Review Guide for RN Pre-Entrance Exam) (Paperback)

The book is an excellent review and the test questions were very similar to the test I took; therefore I felt very comfortable and prepared as I took the test (and did well, 99th percentile overall.) I also recommend Grubers SAT prep for its vocabulary section (if you have the extra money to spend.) Grubers also has a great reading comprehension section. (The math review in it is a little more than what you need for the NLN, but great for people who have been out of school for a while.)

This January I will be entering nursing school and I really think without a doubt the Review Guide for RN PreEntrance Exam helped get me there.

By	Lara C Scholle - See all my reviews

This review is from: Review Guide for RN Pre-Entrance Exam (National League for Nursing Series) (Paperback)

If you are going to take the RN Pre-entrance exam to Nursing School, this book is a must have. It has all the different sections that are on the exam. Also, they have hints and suggestions at the beginning of each section. The math review, really helped also. I made a 132. Well above many of my friends. Thanks to studying with this book.
