My usual method of studying is following the EC content guide and reading ALL the stuff. Works well so far. I read a few posts mentioning Lisa Arends CD's and bought the NC6 one. Holy cow, that's a lot of information. Seems very complete, and more convenient than skipping around fifty chapters in 5 books. So my question is, has anyone used ONLY the CD and done well on the exam? Or is it better to skim the books too? I don't want to take the "easy road" per se, but I also don't want to waste lots and lots of time. Any advice from someone who's been there, done that?

I used only her CD for NC7 for 6 days and passed with an A...I used her disks for all the exams but not JUST the CD's, I've always complimented them with some other back up (especially the EC practice exams - used them for every test) but an NCLEX study guide would be sufficient.
