Customer Reviews

Watch out for incorrect answers and slopy editing
While the 4,000+ questions are great, there is no feature to choose that questions you've already seen be set aside so you can see new ones. I've spent a week studying with this tool and I really can't stress how frustrating it is to see the same 5 or 10 questions repeated and know there are hundreds more that I may never see.

At last count I've found 10 different questions where the exam says the answer was incorrect but the rationale states that the answer is correct. It's just incredibly sloppy editing that the makers really should have worked out.

This is the book to get!
I HIGHLY recommend the Mosby's Comprehensive Review... 60th edition. The book is so well written that reading it isn't a chore! The program I was in just loved the hesi exam.. this book got me through it and helped me to score higher than my schools ridiculous expectations!

Some details: The CD that is included is pretty nice, but the questions are VERY easy. I didn't use it to prepare for tests, just it for review! Additionally, another reviewer mentioned some problems with the CD... those seem to have been solved. When you run the program for the first time, it connects to a server someplace and downloads a patch to make everything work well.

A good source for sampel questions
I use this book to help me study while in nursing school. My professor recommended it and sometime uses questions on exams. This book is very good for that purpose. I do not write in the book so that I can use it later for a NCLEX review. I would recommend this book for any nursing student.
