NCLEX Review Book -- Suggestions?

[JDC]

Hey there . . .

I will be sitting for the NCLEX in March next year (whoo-hoo!) and need some advice. I'd like to purchase a review book to start studying now, but there are several out there.

Does anyone have any recommendations for which one to purchase? Have your friends used one that they particularly liked? Has anyone you know blamed a non-passing score on the review book they used?

I need as much info as possible so I don't waste my money.

Thanks for your help!

I have Saunders comprehensive review, and as i have not gotten to the NCLEX yet, I do use it to help me understand critical thinking ??'s in my med surg now. It seems to be used by a good amount of students. If you have a books a million go by and take a look at it.

Saunders is really the best one going. I also liked to use Lippencotts. We were actually required to use Saunders review for our board review by our teachers. They liked it because the rationales apparently were always correct. Some of the other books frankly, have mistakes in them.

But I liked Lippencotts review and I probably had a few others too.

No one I know has failed NCLEX. So I don't know about the passing score etc.

But using Saunders (and a few others which were not as helpful), I passed on the first try at 75 q's.

Saunders is the best, reveiw it with the semesters and DO THE DISK . Passed in 75 questions as well as my friend.
