Yes, it was very helpful IMO. Plus it's not as expensive as the other review/q&a books out there. I used Exam Cram Practice Questions 2 ed. (CD only).

i thought the nclex questions were worded like exam cram, i used the book with the practice questions in them. i moved before i took the test and lost the cd. i think if you have the extra money it wouldn't hurt, but it's not the (answer) to "is this book the best for nclex?" you know what i mean? i kept looking for that perfect review book to study with and i just do not think one is out there. i felt like exam cram did not give enough info.. review material. anyway that is just my opinion. good luck.

as far as the actual nclex style qs go, exam cram is one of the best on the market but to efficiently use this book, you will need another good content book (mosby,lippincott,saunders etc).exam cram drills you to be able to answer the exam correctly but you need to have some good knowledge base, this is what i felt exam cram lacked in.

There are only 1250 questions. The questions on the CD are the same questions in the book. I opted to use the CD b/c I wanted to get accustomed to answering questions on the computer.
