I used only these 3 books, thats it. And it helped me a lot.
1. Kaplan 2010
2. Exam Cram Practice Questions 2nd edition
3. Made Incredibly Easy 3rd edition
After read Kaplan book , I learned tat which pt Nurse gonna see first....
Kaplan book just cover 3 or 4 major things only. Like how to crack the answer only strategety.
Kaplan Book has worst rational explanation. I learned nothing.
Next Exam cram book . It has 1000 nclex style random questions. from the book i got word to word 5 questions on my NCLEX exam.
Next Made Incredibly Easy . It has 3000 questions. I really liked it, because in this book once they talk abt any disease then they ask atleast 10 questions abt same disease, not like randomly questions. So u can understand very well. ( For example if they ask u Sudden infant death syndrome question then first 10 question is only gonna be Sudden infant death syndrome ) Not like one question asking diabetes and next pregnancy,no
I did not study saunders at all. Becuase saunder has lot of info which is very hard to remeber everything... And i always want to use shortkut, After read lot of students comments, i found mostly people used those 3 books that i mentions above.
I just read saunder book page 199 to 201 only 2 pages to see pt position thats it....
U must have review book only for reference ( If u dont know any disease then go and look in review book ) but do lot of questions from cd or book......the more u do questions then more u will be able to crack answer.. Before u take axam i ll highly recommed do atleast 3000 to 4000 question. Then u will develop ability to crack the answer.
Thats all i did and i passed.
Now here is my real point for all those who is going to take exam soon
before exam day dont try to watch tv No pc No laptop becuase this all thing will pull your eyes energy so u really need to give your eyes full one day break,,,,,,,,
If u dont do this thing then when u taking real exam, by the 100 question u start gonna loose focus becuase ur eyes gona tired.........................and u will probably guess everything so u could go home and sleep
Also week before test u need to sit on ur laptop on ur pc everyday atlest 4 hours and do questions,,,,,,so ur eyes are ready when u take final exam............
When u take ur real exam dont loose focus and dont think that o men all people are going and i m the only one here,,,,,,who care they are not ur relative or ur love one.......
read each question 2 to 3 time. If u start loosing ur focus then think in mind,,,,,this is not local test. this test is going to change my life. Think abt ur kids,,ur husbad,,ur wife,,,ur home,,ur loan,,,,,ur car bills,,,,
u will be back to right track......
i will keep sharing u my thoughts.............................will continue soon best of luck eveyone,,,
