Product Description
This book and CD-ROM combination prepares nursing students to take the qualifying exam for practical nurses. Two full-length model exams plus a diagnostic test are presented in the manual, with computer adaptive model tests on the CD-ROM. All questions are answered and explained. Answers given on the CD-ROM appear in two versions, depending on how students approach the practice tests. They can choose between a Practice Mode, which supplies immediate answers after every question, and a Testing Mode, which scores test results after all questions are answered. The book also reviews basic scientific and nursing principles, provides a list of nursing vocabulary terms with definitions.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book-good, CD-ROM-bad (so far...), July 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Barron's How to Prepare for the Nclex-Pn Using Cat (Paperback)

The text has a very good diagnostic test (250 questions given in 2 parts)and a 250 question 'Mastery' test (same format), but the CD-ROM doesn't quite work right (the answer choices don't show until you pick one of the 'blank' spots or request the solution). I've emailed Barron's but haven't gotten it fixed yet. It is relatively inexpensive and I'm sure it will help on my boards.
