I am applying to a nursing program for the spring of 2014 and I have to take the compass/kaplan test by the end of August. I am not too worried about the compass test because I have transfer credits to be transferred. However, we are testing on just the science part of the kaplan test. We will be given 20 questions and they will cover the Cardiovascular system, Electrolytes, Gastrointestinal system, Immune system, Neurology, Renal system, Hematological system, Homeostasis, Respiratory system, and Sensory system. Can anyone recommend a book that I could use to study for the science part?
On a side note, I have taken all of my science classes plus I have had two semesters of nursing. Unfortunately, I failed the second semester by a couple of points and I am starting over.

The nursing program I am considering uses the Kaplan exam and they recommended the Anatomy and Physiology Workbook for Dummies. I haven't taken the exam yet, but I do hear they ask very specific questions regarding physiology.
