Hello everyone,
I haven't sent in my paperwork to get my test date for NCLEX-PN yet, but will do so in 2 weeks. The thing is, my parents are working hard to pay for my boards exam. I believe it's a little over $400 right now? With that said, I am under tremendous amount of pressure because 1) It's not my money & I don't want it to be a waste. 2) I'm not a good test taker. I have 2 books with me & just ordered 2 more that should be arriving in 2 days. Please let me know if these books are good to study off from, since the editions are not the latest edition & I do know that there were some changes to the LVN/LPN boards exam as of April (I Think).
Books:
1. Q & A Review for the NCLEX-PN Examination - Saunders 3rd Edition
2. NCLEX-PN Review made Incredibly Easy! - 3rd Edition
3. NCLEX-PN Exam Cram - 2nd Edition
4. NCLEX-PN Exam Cram Practice Questions - 2nd Edition
Please give me a feedback or a brief review about these books. Like everyone here...I would LOVE to pass the boards on the first try. Thank you in advance.

Don't buy every book under the sun. Pick one and stick with it. Precludes confusion when there are discrepancies and cuts down on the chances that you will waste too much time just paging through one book after another.

believe me ! just stuck with the good one don't use too many books, it will make your head spin. Take me as an example, i bought all those expensive books and i don't even have enough time to go through them at all! so i feel like it such a waste. I gonna take my Nclex-PN on July 11th. so i think i just gonna review my notes and do the questions, read rationals..
Good luck with your study!
Thank you guys! I'll do my best & I think I already have my favorite pick ^^"
