my instructor was very happy about the choice i made for the n-clex book to study from. she said that it will really help me for the exam in 8 months.

Provided a lot of strategies that helped ease some nerves. This book tells you how to think through questions, eliminate the wrong answers instead of looking for the right one was the most important lesson learned. This book however lacked the number of questions. I used this book and the Saunder's Comprehensive Review book to study for the NCLEX-RN exam and am happy to report that I passed the exam on one try.

If you don't pass your boards after reading the first nine or chapters you must be an idiot!!!!!

I really liked the booklet and the strategies that are given but the CD ROM left a little to be desired in my opinion.

I thought the book was a waste. The CD-ROM that comes with only includes 180 questions, and the first one I got was broken - kept telling me I hadn't gotten any right, despite the fact that I did, and in the rationale it showed my answer as the correct one, but the scoring tool didn't work. I returned it and got a replacement, which also appears to be broken. Scoring tool still doesn't work. And, I'm not sure if it's just because my disc is broken, but it only lets me view the test ONCE after I've taken it. Kaplan is supposed to be a really reputable company, but I feel like they could have done a WAY better job.
