      February 24, 2009: I purchased this book recently to prepare for the NCLEX-PN exam. (I passed!) I found the strategies to be very helpful and the information was laid out in a very organized manner. The practice test was great as well, you can read through detailed descriptions of why the right answer is right and why the wrong answers aren't. I highly recommend this book to anyone preparing to take the NCLEX!
