Thank you, faithhopeRN I made a review of CRNE with the Mosby's review of CRNE wich I found very good. In your recommendation: Kaplan NCLEX-RN Exam with CD-ROM: Strategies for the Registered Nursing Licensing Exam, I suspect the most interesting part will be "Strategies". Does this part of book is big enough (how many pages) and can it be applied to CRNE exam. Should I buy this book if I am only interested in this part? In fact I am even planning to take a private CRNE tutor to explain me in dept these strategies... I didn't choose the right one yet.

suzanne4 I don't try to memorize questions - answers. It's happen automatically (I have good memory). I am not familiar with multiple questions exams. I use questions to UNDERSTAND, what answer should be. Usually I do NEW questions with 80 - 90% of success (the second time I pass the same questions even after few months - 95-100%). When I see the same (or very similar) question on the exam, I see the answer... So the good resource to deal with multiple choice questions is the MUST for me. P.S. I have a lot of years of experience, including Canadian, I perform very well at work (MUCH better that some people who pass the exam).

Thank all for suggestions. I am preparing for June, 2008 exam. Multiple choice questions strategies is my biggest problem. I will maybe take a private CRNE Tutor ($$$.) to take all the chances. I study Mosby's Canadian Nursing Review (that I will know pretty well by the time of exam :)) and Fundamentals of Nursing (Canadian edition by Kozier, Erb). Maybe someone can suggest good review books (official list of CRNE preparing literature is so long...)

Thank you, janfrn I will do Google search myself

janfrn, Thank you for your multiple choice advices. :nuke: Do you know some good sources to read about multiple choices strategies?

mctina_20, suzanne4 , You think that it is possible that the question in examen can be the exact question from CNA book, but with one - two keywords changed and so the answer will be completely different? I was quite sure having EXACTLY same questions and answers. It was so tempting to choose them, and there was A LOT SUCH questions... I study now Mosby book (the second time, but more in deep), but I memorize all questions-answers even if I do not want it.

CNA prep guide 4-th edition is the latest and All the answers are in my memory. I think earlier editions should differ, and I will more questions to practice.

Failed first time CRNE exam on february 2008. I was sure that I will pass because I had 90% of success while training CNA prep guide (4-ed) and the exam appeared me easy enough. I had a lot of questions from the CNA guide on exam. Is it possible that exam questions could be slightly different (one - two key words) but I had already the answer in my memory...? Maybe someone had similar problems What is the difference between nursing prep guide 2-3-4 editions (I used only 4-th edition) and where to find early editions. Taking private teacher (tutor) for this exam is good idea? I read that pass rate for nurses educated outside Canada is much lower that Canadians (45-65% vs 92-95%),and I am one of them.
