I agree that the Sylvia Rayfield books are great. She also has a Q&A book that really helped me a lot. (More than my Saunders, Mosby, etc.) The Hurst Review even endorses these books.

Thanks!!! 4 all of your inputs on tips 4 studying the NCLEX-RN. So.... far I have been studying w/ Saunder's and Mosby's. As I mentioned, I am unable 2 afford the live review class (they charge so much $$$$$), I looked in Barnes n Nobles and Books-a-Million and couldn't find Sylvia Rayfield's books. However, I'll stick with Mosby & Saunder's 4 now. Please... pray 4 me 2 pass NCLEX-RN when I take it near the end of July. Again... I enjoyed reading your responses. Congrats 2 all of U new RNs and best of luck 2 the ones taking NCLEX in the near future. God bless U & your families!!!

I would also like to suggest that you read the Kaplan book. It teaches you to disect a question and how to answer it. It is about 35. I took my boards on Wednesday and was expecting it to be like Saunders, but it was nothing like it. I actually thought it resembled ATI testing (if your school participates in this program).
