Well, Before using and Kaplan Books, I studied with Lippencots, notcards from school ect... I bought this Kaplan book after the second time failing and it changed my world, how I read the question, processed it, and it actually made my question answering process a lot quicker. No other book I used had any good strategies to answering any type of question. Im from Illinois and the closest Kaplan Review Course was in Chicago and thats 4 hours from me, so I settled with The Sylvia Rayfield's Review and It sucked bad. So that is why I never reviewed with Kaplan in the first place. I just bought the book off Amazon.com I just chose the latest edition Kaplan 2004-2005 it was about 24.00 before shipping.Good Luck to you!

I have figured out why I didnt pass, It wasnt the knowlege or content It was how I was answering the question.

Many congratulations to you!! I am graduating in May, and I have to ask you. What do you mean by "how you were answering the questions"????? I have the Kaplan book at home, and there is definitely a lot of material in there that is good to study (a lot of things I never even heard of in nursing school as well!!)

Megan,

I too had difficulty and will be taking the test for the 4th time. I recently obtained the Kaplan and just got Slyvia Rayfield's review tapes...Why did you say the review sucked.?? I'm also doing Mosby's questions cd..?.
