Exam cram, Saunder 3rd edition or Nclex 300?

Published

I just wanted to know, which one should i focus on. The saunders, nclex 3000 or Exam cram for my LPN nclex test.

I will be taking it next month on September 25. I do some questions but it seems like it doesnt stick to my head. Any suggestions how to start?

while one book may work for some, others prefer another. i think it is safe to say that you should select the option that works best for you.

Do both nclex 3000 and Exam cram questions and answer......

If u finish early u can try incredibily made easy which has 3000 nclex style question with rationale............Dont focus any other thing......

saunder has too much information which is very difficult to remember every thing...so for this test just try shotkut,,,,,,,,,,,if u didnt make it then try saunders.....

My study style is I do 1 categeory from Incredily made easy and after i done i do same categerory on Nclex 3000.....

Yesterday i done all maternity chapters from incrdibily made easy now today i m doing maternity on nclex 3000.....

Exam cram book has no catagerory all mix 1000 questions.......

hope my advise will little help u

I used Saunders, Exam Cram, and Kaplan QBank. I found the Saunders helped me review some of the areas I was a bit rusty on and the EC and Kaplan helped me prepare for the style of questions for the test.

Thankz prado and lpn2be2009....both ur guy's advise helped...i was always told that saunder isnt for LPN but some of the people i know they passed study that...and one of my friend took it studying the nclex 3000 and ended up failing......hes taking it again using the exam cram and saunders.....i guess everyone has their own ways....IS 2 WEEKS OR 3 WEEKS ENOUGH TO STUDY FOR THE TEST?....my friend advised me to take earlier and not take tooo long because i will not start to forget thing....and she said to study the lab values and the medications generic name..:D

Lab values and contact precautions are really important. I didn't have many meds on my exam but as we all know, the test varies from person to person so it is a good idea to know the generic names, classes, and side effects. I took about a month to study and just paced myself every day through reading the saunders and doing questions. It is also really really important that you read the rationale behind each question - regardless of whether you got it right or wrong!

Hope this helps and don't forget to take study breaks!
