SG101 practice tests

Be careful w/SG101 practice tests. While they are helpful to do extra questions, if you are looking at the question and select and answer and you are sure you're right... and see that the answer key doesn't match... you probably are the one that's correct. There are quite a few goofs on their answer keys.

Do you have the Saunders?

No, I don't have the Saunders but I have been reading how invaluable it is. Are the questions in Saunders very close to what you can expect on the corresponding Excelsior exam?

Yes, some of them are very similiar, because the Excelsior exams are NCLEX style. I have even been lucky enough to have an arrange in order and fill in the blank question on my Excelsior exams.

You will not regret getting yourself a Saunders but I definately still think the Excelsior practice exams are a must. :-)

Just purchased Saunders on half.com for $15(with shipping) is there much of a difference between the 2010 edition and the 2007 edition?

@beachnurse84, Is the yellow Saunders book the newest edition the one that everyone is buying, that the NCLEX questions are very similar to the Excelsior practice exams.????

I don't know about the 2007 or 2010 edition, I have the blue and orange 2005 edition and it's worked really well for me! :-)

thanks, that makes me feel much better. The cost for the 2005 vs the 2007 was only a couple dollars but from 2007 vs the 2010 was more than $30 difference. I went with the 2007 so I will consider that adequate if the 2005 has worked for you.

@savagetrojan , Again Congrats on doing so well on Health and Safety, I did purchase the 2010 yellow book new edition it cost me $58 bucks brought it @ Books A Million about 5 months ago when it first came out, but you can count on me getting my money's worth using it .It was used by a lot of my co-workers who were LPN's who are now RN's. And it is widely used here in school @ UAB Nursing School in Birmingham!!!
