Saunders is the best Review for the NCLEX hands down. I can't personally say that I have tried other books, but I'll start off by saying that I passed the NCLEX. On my first try. With 1 month to study. After being out of nursing school for a year without reviewing.For reasons that are too long to detail here, I was having difficulty scheduling my NCLEX due to various factors. Due to some miscommunication mostly on my part, I found that they had scheduled me to take the NCLEX and had given me a test date which was exactly one month away. You can imagine the overwhelming panic that came over me as I realized I had been out of nursing school since December 2012, and it was now mid-January 2014. Anyone reading this that is thinking of "taking a break" from nursing after graduating before preparing for the NCLEX... do not wait a year like I did. This will help prevent a lot of unnecessary stress.
The tools I used to review included this book (the Kindle version) which is the 6th edition, and NCSBN's learning extension review for the NCLEX online. Now the reason that I purchased the Kindle version of Saunders was because I had ordered the physical copy of the Saunders 5th Edition book and it was taking much longer than expected to arrive to me. At the time I was living in a small town in Alaska, and Barnes & Noble or was not readily available to me to purchase an NCLEX review book. As I became more and more anxious for the 5th Edition to come in, I could not NOT study and wanted a textbook in addition to the lessons online on NCSBN. I opted to purchase the Kindle edition of this book so that it could be delivered to me right away electronically and I could begin reviewing. I wanted the physical copy of the 5th edition for a reason though. Many reviews online from students expressed that the CD that comes with the 5th edition hard copy was very valuable and the practice questions and lessons on the CD helped other studying students tremendously. That CD was what I was after, to help me review & master the material that I would be going over in the book. I had an issue with the 5th edition not coming with that CD... and other reviewers online had the same concern.
But I will clear the air and say to anyone using the CD as a deal breaker between these two editions, the 6th edition may not come with the CD, but it comes with an online membership to a website containing the EXACT SAME MATERIAL found on the physical CD that comes with the 5th Edition! Once I received the 5th Edition in the mail I was able to compare the two, and really, the content on the Saunders review website with the 6th Edition is the same as the content on the CD with the 5th Edition. Even more, the content of the entire book of the 6th Edition is nearly identical to the content within the 5th Edition. The difference between the two texts are unnoticeable besides the fact that the content is reordered in the 6th Edition.
The content in these books were incredibly informative. For someone who had not reviewed for a long time, I was able to get back into the swing of things using these texts, and the "Pyramid Points" were absolutely KEY to remember. Every chapter was equipped with important, to the point information, highlighting facts & strategies that were imperative to remember. Each chapter then concluded with review questions that were similar to what I was actually tested on. I would also recommend the audio reviews on the CD or review website. Use the testing strategies that are outlined in these books. When I was stumped on a question because I just didn't know the answer from not knowing the content, I was able to use the strategies they taught to narrow down options to find the right answer.
When I took the exam I used up the whole time and I answered questions at my own pace. I tried to not feel rushed, and I didn't really utilize the breaks except for once. At the time I took it, I didn't feel completely confident that I passed, but at the same time I knew that I had been prepared well and a lot of the content I was tested on had been covered in my Saunders texts. A couple days later I found out that I passed!
What a gratifying feeling, and I do owe it to Saunders mostly, and in part to NCSBN's review, but if I could weight it I would give Saunders 89% of the credit and 11% of it to NCSBN. Bottom line, I would recommend these books, both the 5th and 6th edition, to any nursing student preparing for the NCLEX. If I could pass the NCLEX studying only for 1 month (technically, 3.25 weeks, as I was delayed in starting from waiting for the 5th edition to come in before I began studying with the 6th edition on Kindle), and I had been out of school for over a year, then you definitely can pass using these tools especially if you have a lot more time to study than I did.
Hopefully this helps! Good luck to all studying!
Regards,
Nicole, RN-BSN ;)

Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEXRN® Examination 5e Saunders Comprehensive Review for NclexRn Author 9781437708257 Books Reviews
Used this book along with another well known test taking strategy program to help me pass my NCLEX on first try with 75 questions. Great for content review and the questions were also good.
TIP-- Get the cheaper yellow one... My friend and I compared the books and there was VERY little difference. Save yourself some money )
Saunders, you've been faithful to me since I took my NCLEX-PN board exam. Last year Dec 2014 I took my NCLEX-RN board exam and aced the test with only 75 questions. This book is very comprehensive. Do yourself a favor, buy this. I am now a RN working as a school nurse.
This is a good companion piece to go along with other resources. I basically used this in conjunction with U-World, and passed on the first try. It's a very detailed book, but everything is broken down into concise, convenient bullet points. I passed the NCLEX nearly two years ago, and I actually still keep this book at my bedside as a reference for my current nursing practice.
I've had this book for about a year, since my very first semester in nursing school. I initially planned to use it to study, but soon felt overwhelmed with all the readings and assignments coming in that I felt too overwhelmed to open it. THAT WAS A MISTAKE. In the middle of my 3rd semester I was doing all of the readings and assignments and my tests scores were slipping so I decided to try something different and read sections in this book that correlate with the concepts I was learning. This book is so easy to follow and has such great information. It had all the important information covered in my assigned readings, plus more! My test grades went back up! I'm now entering my last semester and I'm definitely going to be using this book from the start...
This book is actually harder than the test. After the first 10 NCLEX questions I knew I had it in the bag ) Good luck future test takers!
I took my first NCLEX attempt with a great deal of uncertainty. My school much like all Nursing programs fails to stress the amount of preparation required and test taking strategies involved to ultimately fight the beast that is NCLEX!
This book was single handily my ultimate weapon, read 3 chapters a day. In one month you've covered the entire book, add the online resources and do the included 75 question assessment to see what your weakness areas are and do 25q in tutor mode every day along with the the chapter readings.
Don't expect the questions to be anywhere near NCLEX, they are content driven questions to simply reinforce the information you have just read. You read a chapter, take questions on it and if you do poorly or miss more than 3,4 questions I would recommend re-reading the chapter again before you move on.
As your reading the book you'll see things you've seen in questions and get a better understanding why the disease does this and why a lab is tested for this etc, etc..... it's a lot of reading but if broken up daily it can be tackled quite easily.
I would say with 100% certainty this book alone aided in me successfully passing the NCLEX exam, it also reinforced my knowledge in areas I was good at and also boosted my overall confidence going into the test. I have highly recommended this book already to very close friends and would suggest all aspiring nurses also buy it.
I am a paramedic and have worked for a very prevalent fire department for 11yrs and the NCLEX was extremely difficult for me and failed it my first attempt! This book was the missing ingredient to a poor nursing programs lack of education.
Good luck to you all!
