User Review from Amazon:
I bought 3 different study guides and this one was BY FAR the best. in fact I think I would have failed the NCLEX if I had just used my other study guides and not bought this one. the study topics are broken down in such a smart way; you will get plenty of different questions on each topic that you will breeze through the NCLEX test. it helped me PASS just this May!!!
but give yourself time to study because there are a TON of questions and you will need almost a month to get through this whole book and absorb all of the material.
GREAT BUY
