I took the NCLEX-PN Board on September and passed...all from studying Lippincott's Review book. Honestly, I did not feel that the book helped, but I guess it did because I passed within the 1st try. Also, the reason why I studied from Lippincott's Review book was because a colleague who previously graduated before me, studied from this book and passed as well.

GOOD LUCK!

Please allow me to comment, from my experience.

First, the process of dealing with the Exam Center was not as stressful as I thought. Sure they fingerprinted you and took your picture, but the staff were friendly and accomodating.

As far as review books:

Think you should consider books as being in two categories.

First there are subject review books. Books like Saunders that review what hopefully was in your program syllabus.

Second there are books that tell you how to take and work the exam.

From my experience, the review book I used was Saunders, although honestly I did not review the whole thing.

The other book I used was Kaplan which concentrated on how to read the question, discard wrong answers and then pick that correct answer (even if you did not know the subject!).

Truly, as they say, the NCLEX is not a recall exam, it is based on application.

I read the Kaplan book at least six times, and did the 145 questions in the book and passed at 109 questions (two hours, no breaks).

ABC, and Maslow are your best friends.

Hope this helps.
