Better study guide than the ATI official guide book
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

That's my opinion, anyway. The official guide book at the ATI testing site is a good reference to how the exam will be like but not learning and reviewing the information, especially in the Science section. The Kaplan nursing school entrance exams guide book goes into more details and gives a better explanation to the answers to every practice question they give. Overall, if you're going to spend your money on a study guide, spend it on the Kaplan study guide.

Very informative
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

Order this to prepare for nursing entrance exam, I think his book will be very helpful, especially the math, I love that this book has a lot of pretest.

Eh...not great...
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3

There is a ridiculous number of typos in this book! And typos that actually make a significant difference, like leaving the "t" off of "tRNA."

I bought this for the TEAS test, and it was a good start for understanding what to expect, but not the most trustworthy resource.

FINALLY PASSED !!!!
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

Let me start by saying that this was the third and LAST time I've taken the NET exam.My biggest problem with the test was reading comprehension; its the only section that I could not pass. I've gotten A's all my life in writing and reading but the NET reading comp. is much different. the Problem is timing. You're given 30 mins to read several (long and short)passages and answer 35 questions. The kaplan book was the first book that really gave strategies to directly tackle timing on the reading section.The passages in the practices exams are also longer and a little more difficult in the Kaplan book which made the real exam a breeze. It gives you step by step methods and explains it in a very simple manner. I seriously thought it was impossible to finish the reading comprehension until I used kaplan. When I took the exam I felt so confident and finished so quickly. Many people think that the math section will be the hardest but ironically its extremely easy (basic 4th -10th grade level). The kaplan book over-prepares you for the math so you should do great on it. I'd recommend this book to anyone who's either taken the test and failed or hasn't taken it yet. It's by far better than the ERI Net Study guide.

Mediocre.
Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1

Kaplan isn't known for excellence.

Being a microbiology major I believe I have a good grasp of the sciences.

The good:

This book covers, in a nutshell, most of what you should know graduating with at LEAST as associates degree.

What is better is that is covers the 'gamut' of courses that you should know. This is important as some nursing programs require Chemistry I... some do not, some require physics, some do not... as the entrance requirements vary, this text covers most of the general education courses that may be (or may not be) a requirement.

Price is right.

THE BAD: As I already mentioned, Kaplan is not known for excellence. This book has MANY, MANY, MANY grammatical, spelling, repetition errors... Example. Page 191. End of paragraphs: "Thus, The atomic radius increases. As such, the atomic radius increases.".

There are several other areas in my book I marked with errors. But this is Kaplan, and I wasn't expecting much.

I would use this text as an ADJUNCT. Use it to REVIEW losely. Take it with a grain (or cup full) of salt.

As an overall review, of what you should know with your associates degree, I would give this 3 stars. If the errors were corrected, it might fetch 4 stars. HOWEVER, this is a review for an exam that really means something to most people. As such, the errors are unforgivable. Any professional business selling a product to review should have the basic understanding that the product represents the company.

An error in the text may be 'forgivable'. Several errors, additions, double sentences, deletions, and wrong answers tell me that they did not review this text properly, and therefore you can not trust it as an adequate review. This many errors tells you the student that Kaplan isn't taking this review guide seriously... they are taking your money seriously however.

I personally went through it, did the tests and that was that. I will rely on other NET review guides that were actually edited and reviewed, that you as the student can trust.

OVERALL: Due to its very low price, I would get this book to review the sciences, math, and get a feel for the NET tests. HOWEVER, I would use this book as a BRIEF REVIEW ONLY and use other NET texts to truly study for the NET. I would NOT suggest using this as your ONLY NET review.
