   metalgirl70 replied to Holly5477's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I bought my book used, so there was no CD unfortunately. I did however today pay for the access to the website and started taking the quizzes. Very helpful. What does the CD have on it that the 'pay' website doesn't?

   I bought that green Marieb book used, so of course it doesn't come with the access code for the website guide. I was thinking about buying the access. Do you think it's worth the $35?
