ATI book vs HESI book

Published

I have two NCLEX-RN books

ATI Comprehensive Review 19th edition

&

HESI Comprehensive Review 7th edition 

My question is this: can they be used interchangeably to learn content in school? For instance, if I have an ATI curriculum am I hindered by the use of the HESI book (the color images and layout grab me)? I just have the ATI book because we had to get it. It's a good book but it seems too plain for my taste. In addition, how could studying from the HESI book impact my preparedness for an ATI exam? 

Thank you for your input on this.

When you take a ATI test it will guide you on the study pages to learn the rationale why your answer is wrong or right. I would rather have it too plain than not understanding the content. You can also use other learning programs if you want. 

Your school added ATI because they saw that the this  testing program prepared students for their professional like including NCLEX.

Adding this: As a faculty member in the 2000's I studied the stats. how the stats compared  for every  Company test,.. I took the tests also. I know of what I speak.
