anyone use pearson vue study guide?

[fliggidy]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and would like to pick your brain....

I've been studying the last 7 weeks about 4 days a week about 3 hrs a day.

I've used the Pearson Vue study book that a teacher gave me and I used it thinking that since pearson vue is the testing center it would help me get an edge on how the exam would be....

so when i went to take my test today it seemed the total opposite... I mean the study book vs the actual test seemed very different. after a few weeks of the study guide CD i've been getting an average of 80%+

but once i sat down and went through about 20 questions on the actual NCLEX-PN, i started to think to myself :mad:Crap i just wasted 200.

What I'd like to know from others that have passed the NCLEX-PN which book you've used and test bank. I have access to the 4th Saunders Comprehensive which i think i'll start after thanksgiving. Still don't know if I've passed or not but don't want to get to comfortable of not being able to study and lose what I've so far kept from school and all...

Thanks in advance everyone..

Happy Holidays Everyone...

Hi.. Can I just 1st ask are you referring to the Exam Cram Book? And did you do the Pearson Vue trick to see if you passed?

Which nclex book are you referring to? Is it by mary hogan??? When I took my PN boards I used Mosbys' for PN-Nclex and Saunders RN. I passed first time with 85 questions. I do know what you mean though. NCLEX questions seem so different then any other questions I have seen. I felt like I was guessing the whole time. Why don't you try to the PVT? Good luck with your results. I pray you passed.
