Hello!
I am starting nursing school in the fall and I have gotten many recommendations to start reviewing NCLEX study guides now and use them throughout the program.
My question to you new grad's is what book (Title and Author) do you believe made the best study guide?
There are so many out on the market and I don't want to waste my time and money on one that did not produce great results.
Thank you so much for your time!

I used the Saunders and Exam Cram. Exam Cram was very good for me. I passed my nclex with 85 questions.

KAPLAN NCLEX-RN Strategies for the Registered Nursing Licensing Exam. This book tells you strategies on answering NCLEX questions.
I used one other NCLEX review book (I forgot already, sorry) and use it just for their practice questions.
I passed my NCLEX with just one take. I don't think I would have passed it
had I not use the KAPLAN book.

The combination of Saunders and Kaplan did the trick for me. I found that the strategies in Kaplan and the content in Saunders was what I needed. :) Good luck!
This information is great! Thank you so very much !!

My favorite NCLEX style of book was Davis, my favorite content book was Saunders (which was also a required book at my school) I would use the Saunders to prepare for my nursing exams through out school.
Best of luck!!
