Need advice, please

Hello my good people,

I am about to begin studying for nclex and I have so far Saunders (5th ed) and the Linda Lacharity book. However, I need one more book to help with tackling questions and I am stuck with either choosing exam cram or the nclex 4000. I need advice on what you all think about each of the book and which you would go with and why. Thank ypou all so much.

Have any of your friends from school used either of these so that you can take a look at the product for yourself?

Yes, if you can, look at the books yourself. See if they have them at local bookstores, or even the Library.

Also, try downloading Barnes & Nobles NookStudy and/or NookBook apps for free on your computer. Different books work with the different apps, so just look at which one it works with before you download.

They have the ExamCram books, so you can download their sample version and get a taste of what teh book is like. They dont' have the NCLEX 4000 one that way, but at least you can see one and decide if you like the format.

My school has NCLEX 4000, I can let you know when I go there this week! ;)

Either one is going to be fine, no book has questions that are actually like the nclex anyways so you just need the practice of doing questions that encourage you to apply the knowledge.

I used ExamCram as my primary review book for about a month and studied it extensively, then I switched over to the Kaplan Course book (not the strategy book) two weeks before my exam and found that ExamCram didn't help as much as I thought it had, but had at least given me the general idea so I wasn't drawing a blank when reading about the various diagnoses.

Anyway, if anything, I found that ExamCram's Exam Force CD was useful in getting me used to the number of questions I would be answering for NCLEX. By the time I was done, I could easily sit through 300 questions without a problem (fortunately, I only needed to answer about 120 in the actual exam). It also helped in determining which areas I needed to work more on, though the questions (of course) weren't nearly as difficult as those in the actual exam.

I really liked the NCLEX 4000 format for testing, studying, and selecting questions. I would have to say that I don't think it could be my only study resource. The annoying thing about it is that you have to be extremely precise when clicking on the "hot spots" for some questions, they give you a very tiny box that is supposedly "correct"
