Which books are best to review for the N-CLEX?

[RN2bin09]

I'm a junior nursing student and am trying to figure out if any books out there are better than others when it comes to reviewing for the N-CLEX. Our local bookstore has like 20 different books and I'm not sure which to choose! Any help is appreciated!

Just for regular use throughour the program I have >10 books, so I'm familiar with most of the popular ones. If you're only buying one, I'd go with the Saunders Comprehensive Review. If you want to just do millions of questions, Mosby has a good book and that's all it is. I don't really like the book put out by HESI, but if you're taking their exit exam before you can graduate you may want to study their material. I have two NCLEX strategy books, and I like Kaplan much better than Saunders. I also have the Saunders Illustrated Study Guide, and it might be good if you're more of a visual learner than I am. Also, if you're visual (I'm not), one of my instructors swears by the Memory Notebook series. It really helps her and a lot of other people with mnemonics and things like that. Last, if you need specific review of one subject, I like the Review and Rationales series by Mary Hogan. You can also go to amazon and read customer reviews of most of the books out there, that's how I decided on some of mine. It kind of depends what you need. I think the Saunders review book is the most complete, but it might not be the best one for your needs. Good luck!
