 This is a must have to take the NCLEX! March 1, 2008

I have read through most of it already and tell you this is a key book to have. There are a hundred books you can buy to prepare for NCLEX, but this is for HOW to take the test. It is not one of the books that offers thousands of sample questions. There are many books to choose from if you want that, too. This book is the best for telling you what the test will look like and how to approach the questions.

Has exactly what I was looking for in an easy to read book. The questions are somewhat limited compared with other reviews, but the explanations help you see whether you did right or wrong. Overall a good buy.

If you only get one prep book, this is the one. It helps you make the most of what you already know, by teaching you test strategies. To pass the NCLEX, you have to figure out the best answer for each NCLEX question, and just memorizing facts isn't enough to pass the test. This book prepared me with useful practice questions and tips so that I answered more questions with more confidence, and I passed the NCLEX. Whatever else you do to prepare, use this book to practice answering NCLEX-type questions.

Not a great source of questions but an excellent source for strategies and confidence. I feel that you must first read this book before attempting to review with any other question only book.

First, please note that this book contains strategies to tackle the NCLEX. If you want a comprehensive book I recommend the Saunders text, which companions nicely with this one.
With that out of the way...Wow! This book was an absolute pleasure and helped me pass on the first attempt. The book is an easy read and explains how to dissect test questions and how to choose the best answer. Chock-full of sample questions within each chapter, it guides you with plenty of rationales that made me feel more ready to take the NCLEX. Additionally, the sample questions found in the practice exams are most similar to those found in the NCLEX itself, compared to other sources I browsed through.
Right on the cover, Kaplan guarantees a passing score on the first try. Well, they made good on that promise in my case! If you want to pass and feel comfortable while doing it, you won't regret this purchase!
