NCLEX/CAT-RN Core Review Study Guide

Rating:
Summary: the best review book i've used so far
Review: I chose to buy this book because it comes with a medication review handbook which has been very helpful. I own a few review books and I find this one to have the best rationals for the review questions and also to be the easiest to study from. The disk it contains allows you to take up to 250 questions on the practice test while many others will just go up to 100 questions. Because the nclex may go up to 265 questions this provides you with good practice to sit through such a long test.The only reason I did not rate it with five stars is because it contains many spelling errors throughout the book which you have to watch out for.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I found this book very frustrating to study from. It is filled with spelling mistakes, bad grammer and contradictions. A concise review of material contained in this book is difficult because exam questions are introduced before that particular topic has been covered in the book. The drug calculation tables are confusing, and formulae used are not clarified. I would advise all nursing students and graduates to give this one a wide berth, look for a study guide that has been published as a later edition, since it seems that first editions like this one are edited so poorly. By the way I have rated this book with no stars, it has been of so little use to me in my studies.
