Customer Reviews

Can be overwhelming
When I purchased this book, I didn't have any reviews to go from as this is the "new" edition. I recently took the nursing exam and the test wasn't nearly as in depth as this book. I feel like I wasted a lot of time learning anatomy and physiology that wasn't even needed for the test. There were a lot of practice questions throughout the book but I found it difficult to study from those. I have been out of college for almost 10 years so the book was helpful to brush up on some of those math and science concepts that were forgotten. I would recommend purchasing Barron's "How to Prepare for the Nursing School Entrance Exams". It was easier to follow and stuck to the basic concepts of the test subjects.

not for NET TEST reading comprehension
If you need a review for LPN test or just a review on Math and Science this is a good book. IF you are looking for NET TEST reading comprehension this book does not compare. SAVE YOUR MONEY. I reccommend the NET TEST STUDY GUIDE. It contains two actual practice tests for Reading Comprehension and Mathmatics. They are JUST like the test.

Nothing Wrong w/ Being Over-Prepared
this study guide book covers a lot of material that you may not need; it also cover a lot of material that you will need. If you can work through this book--and some areas are difficult--then you will be ready for just about anything an entrance exam could present.
I found it very, very helpful--especially in math and reading comp
**just a note, there are about math 10 problems that have typos or incorrect answers, but I have yet to find any book in the world that is perfect**
