Full of Mistakes!:

I have used 4 different resources in preparing for the NCLEX, and this one is glaringly bad. I have found probably 10 or more errors in the practice questions. The question will ask for one thing and then the "correct" answer will be the opposite of what the question was asking. i.e. "What is a sign and symptom of X?" and then you'll wrack your brain and get to the answer and it'll say "1 is the only answer NOT a symptom of X." Some of the answer numbers are wrong as well...it'll put one answer number and... more info

Spend your money on another book:

I bought 3 study aids to prepare for the NCLEX-RN and this by far was the worst. At first glance this book is great because it has so much material, but after getting further into the book I noticed multiple typos. The spelling typos were one thing, but sometimes the number of the answer did not correspond to the right answer. These typos just took some of the credibility away from the book and made me uneasy. I would recommend the book from Kaplan or the Flashcards from Mosby.

A Great Study Tool!:

This book has 617 pages of questions, answers and rationales. There is also a disc included in the back that has five practice tests consisting of 265 questions each. The disc also has 8 topic-related tests with varying numbers of questions. I think this is a must have study tool for NCLEX preparation.
