Recommend me a SATA/alternative question resource?

Published

I have the Saunders Comprehensive Review that I am mostly using.

I also have the Kaplan NCLEX-RN review book, but man, they seem a lot easier than the Saunders and Lippincott's books.

Overall, I have noticed that most questions are multiple choice/single answer style with minimal to no alternative questions or SATA.

Can someone recommend a book or CD that has more of these that they found useful?

I am taking my exam June 20th so hopefully Barnes and Noble or somewhere local will carry it.

I also recommend the previous suggestion of nclex-rn 3500 online. You can actually choose to have ONLY alternate items.

1. Choose 'Review' (to get the answers/rationales as you go).

2. Then chose an option from the ' Alternate Items Only' box.

I was excited to notice this yesterday. This site is perfect for what you're looking for. Good luck!

ETA: I forgot to mention that the site times out after a while, so the session may end on you if you take a long break.

Ok. So you are saying that NCLEX can SATA any topic?

Can you give me an example?
