Excelsior College Exams

[toby4]

Hey anyone:

Im starting the Excelsior College Exams (Health Safety). Im looking for anyone who is in the program or who has successfully completed the program who has any ideas what is the best study materials for passing these exams. Such as books they suggest. Im presently looking into purchasing NCLEX review books as well. Ive been looking at Kaplan books, Hurst Review and Saunders Comprehensive Review. Are there any assessment books that are recommended as well. Not sure what books well be of good help. Many on market with high prices. Is the study outline they send you good? Thanks and appreciate any suggestions. :)

I have done half of the EC program now. I buy the study guides on ebay and have been doing great with it. mystudygroup101 makes cd roms with great chapter reviews and tons of test, they go for about 10 bucks per class, that is all I use. I have used the TCN books as well, too much info that is not relevant to the test. I recommend you search ebay, tons of great stuff there.

I agree the Excelsior Practice Tests are awesome and I like how they have the rationales explaining why an answer is right or wrong. I used the content guides, lisa arends notes & study group 101 notes off ebay. I bought only a fundamentals book for reference. Good luck!! Oh yeah, I like the Exam Cram NCLEX book by pearson vue

I used content review books, (not necessarily NCLEX review books), that I bought from the bookstore for the most part. Also used the recommended texts, studygroup101, and content from http://www.flashcardexchange.com. Also bought a couple of used TCN study guides from ebay that I found to be lacking so I don't really recommend them.
