Good pre-nursing entrance exam study guide?

Race Mom, ASN, RN · Nov 11, 2005

I was at Barnes & Noble the other day and saw a bunch of them, one by CliffNotes, one by the College Board, and a few others etc. Any recommendations? This is for the NLN Pre-Nursing Entrance Examination (or whatever its called). Thanks!

Review Guide for

RN Pre-entrance Exam

2nd Edition

Mary E. McDonald

ISBN 0-7637-2486-6

Helped me get a 124! (with the 1st edition, 5 years ago)

Pretty much identical to the actual test (just with different questions) but gives you the exact format of the test.

I had bought it at Borders, but they didn't have any 2nd editions in stock when I went, so make sure you call the bookstores 1st to check. I thought I was going to have to retake it, so I bought a random one off the shelf and it was confusing and wasn't nearly as good. My college bookstore sells them. I paid $29.95. Worth every penny! I also bought a book that has the most used words in the SAT test. Seemed like a lot of these were in the actual exam.

There are multiple tests to do in the book, just after each section and 3 full exams to practice with in the end. This helps for timing your test speed and getting an idea if you are prepared.

Good luck!

This is the one recommended. My school recommends this one and Barron's 1100 words you need to know. Good luck.:)
