nclex review books

Hi,

I would definitely recommend Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment: Practice Exercises for the NCLEX Examination, 2e by Linda LaCharity because I feel as though the questions in this book really mirrored the formatting of the real NCLEX. It served as a great guide and feel into feeling more confident about the exam. It is broken up into chapters with topics such as oncology, hematology etc. What my suggestion is to get a great content review book such as Saunders, read up on a certain subject and then do the questions that correspond to the topic you have reviewed for the day. For example, in Saunders if I read about Oncology, I would then correspondingly do the La Charity oncology chapter for the day.

I also used Lippincott's NCLEX-RN Alternate-Format Questions 5e (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) to help me with select all the apply questions. Although I would get a lot wrong, it still helped me really get into the feel for answering select all the apply questions and gave me a little perspective on how to answer. I truly felt like it helped me the day of the real exam.

I used HURST for content review, but if that is something you are not able to spend money on right now, I think Saunder's is a great option for content review and much cheaper to buy from Amazon or borrow from the library.

I used Kaplan for their question bank and online review class. I felt as though the online review class did not really help me much as their strategies can be found online for free. However, I think the qbank and the trainers really mimicked the difficulty level of the real nclex.
