4.0 out of 5 stars The closest thing to the actual NCLEX, April 4 2009
By Joe RN - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kaplan NCLEX-RN Exam 2010 with CD-ROM: Strategies for the Registered Nursing Licensing Exam (Paperback)
Note that this book is not a comprehensive reviewer, and this book alone is not enough to help you pass the exam. This book is all about STRATEGIES... to help you get inside the mind of the NCLEX writers and help you identify what the question is really asking. A common mistake among students is "reading into the question" and applying your own interpretation, which usually makes you pick the wrong answer. This book will help correct that bad habit. There is very little in this book in the way of actual content, but the strategies it teaches are very valuable.

The actual NCLEX questions are harder than any review book I encountered, and believe me I've seen them all. This book is the closest thing you can get in terms of the level of difficulty of the actual exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this Book, July 3 2009
By Haben - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kaplan NCLEX-RN Exam 2010 with CD-ROM: Strategies for the Registered Nursing Licensing Exam (Paperback)
I didn't pass the NCLEX the first time and that was more than a year ago. Yah, it's embarrasing. Anyways, I've tried to re-study for this test, but this is the only book that made me feel that I can pass this exam when I re-take it. It is a quick read and every time I've read a chapter, I've felt empowered. Having the nursing knowledge is not enough to pass the NCLEX, especially if it has been a long time since you were in nursing school. You need to know how this test is designed and this is the best book to describe that.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just buy the 2008-09 version., Jan 26 2010

This review is from: Kaplan NCLEX-RN Exam 2010 with CD-ROM: Strategies for the Registered Nursing Licensing Exam (Paperback)
I bought this book because I had used the 2008-09 book for the practice tests. The practice questions in the 08-09 version were great. I thought about getting the Kaplan Q bank but for $299 i figured I'd just buy the 2010 book for some more questions at a much better value. Anyway, the practice tests in the 2010 version of the book are identical to the 08-09 version.... both in the book and on the "updated" CD. Save a few bucks and just get the 08-09 version.
