Statistics book refresher?

Published

I haven't taken stats in many years and will start the FNP program in the Spring. I wanted to freshen up on stats but don't want to pay for a course. I just want a good and simple refresher. I hear the statistics test during research is challenging. Any suggestions of books that have samples and has a workbook portion that others found valuable for nursing grad school?

I've been reviewing some YouTube tutorials. There are TONS of them. I do better than I would with a textbook.

This. I believe KhanAcademy also has a Statistics video.

Following this. I'm in a stats class right now and hating every second lol. I second that, so far, I've found YouTube more helpful too. Most of the tutorials I've found are very black and white and explain just what you need to know, while showing.

This website is better than any book. I used it to get an A in Statistics even though I have a math phobia! And it's really cheap for what you get. Highly recommended:
