5.0 out of 5 stars Best review book out there!!!, December 14, 2008

By	Jimbo "Jimbo" (Nashville) - See all my reviews

This was my third purchase of a review book for both the ANCC and AANP Adult exam. I also bought the Fitzgerald and Millonig, now the TOP 3 when you search for ANP on Amazon. My take: the Leik and Fitz are all you need. Both have hundreds of questions, review sections and snippets of information to make you think. I would even suggest buying these as text books for school and will take these to the office as a source of clinical information. Yes, the books are that good and up2date. The Leik is handier for size and has randomly sorted questions (similar to the exam). Fitz is nationally known (she writes some of the questions). Millonig is compiled by multiple authors. I personally prefer the Leik. All serve the purpose they intend, to get you to think and review what you either forgot or missed in school. Good luck!!!
