1st review more to come
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

I bought this book to take the Kaplan Nursing school Entrance Exam. It is not till July so I will let you know how acurate the book is after the exam. So Far the book has a ton of Information 2 practice test and a 65 question test that tells you where u should focus. Its almost 400 pages long, filled with tough questions and the math section has me nervous to take my Exam.. But it seems to be a good book to study with. I will let you know.

Kaplan Review Book
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4

This is a good book, but there is SOOOO much information! I recommend buying it WAY before you have to take the exam & becoming extremely familiar with the material before going to take the exam b/c the exam is really hard! I felt the material in the book was a bit overwhelming, but it was helpful. There was a lot of marking in my book which also wasn't the most helpful, but oh well, what can you do? Anyway, I would recommend the book for preparation!

Nursing Guide
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

This is a great tool to have in order to prepare for the exam. I highly recommend this book, especially for those who currently hold a degree.

Not for the NET
Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1

This book is a waste for the NET. It contains math far in advance of the simple fractions,decimals, percentages and low-level Algebra on the NET. The other parts of the NET are reading comprehension, critical thinking, reading and a learning style and stress level section. Don't bother with this book for the NET, grab a 7th grade math book instead.

Review and Study ideas for TEAS exam
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3

Let me start by saying that the overall quality of this book is quite adequate, and someone who uses it to pass tests other than the TEAS, will probably find it more useful than I did.

After using 3 different books to study for the TEAS exam, I found that no single book could prepare me sufficiently. I did like the one published by McGraw-Hill the best, even thought it was short from ideal.

The test was not hard. You will have plenty of time to complete each section. If you were a decent student in high school, you will probably be ok.

The main problem I encountered is not knowing exactly what to expect.

This book served me well for the Math part. However, I also wasted time studying more that I needed.

The Math part of the test required the following: heavy on conversions of decimals, fractions and percentages,Fahrenheit to Celsius, KGs to LBs, miles to kilometers and so on. Review graphs/charts and their usage: ex: bar graph, line graphs. Be able to solve equations such as "x-3=10". Review multiplication tables-you can't use the calculator. Be able to do lots of addition, multiplication, subtraction fairly quickly.

I was completely caught off-guard by a few Geology and Geography questions. Some Physics and Chemistry questions were also unexpected. I did not find any coverage of these particular topics in this book or any other I used! Moreover, the book coverage of Science is unnecessarily detailed. Aim for basic understanding of concepts. For Chemistry: know bonding, sub-atomic particles, energy. Also study the Mendelyev's Table; know what columns and groups represent. It's useful to know some common element symbols(K, Ca, H and so on). Know basic genetics: recessive/dominant genes, alleles, phenotypes, be able to construct the diagram of offsprings. Know definition of "bolus". Some ecology, plant's photosynthesis questions, definition of "autotropic", who eats who in the web and chain of life who is producer--(book did a good job). Definitely know passive/active transport and osmosis. Review basic anatomy-the book does a good job on that, however excessively deep.

The good news, the reading comprehension section in this book is exceedingly harder than required on the test. I found the TEAS level to be closer to GED tests. Also, many questions feature drawing conclusions from graphs and prescription labels presented. Passages were short but a few had tricky multiple choice questions. Don't read into them too much, and you'll be fine.

English part of the test was the easiest for me, and English is not my native language. Since the vocabulary and reading comprehension sections in this book do not bear any resemblance to the actual test I'd suggest you get a regular GED preparation guide for these sections. In fact, you can probably use the same guides from the Math and Science.

You have to be able to correct various usage problems in the sentences given. Know subjects and verbs. Study relatively easy vocabulary ex. "ambivalent", "biannual" and nothing crazy that is covered in the book. I found very important to review most frequently misspelled words (about 5 questions are on spelling, or misspelling). This book did not help me with this at all. Again, find a simple GED preparation book as a supplemental material.

BTW, Most students have problems with Reading and Math sections-I missed Reading by 1.8 point and passed all other's with higher marks.

Hope this is helpful. Good luck!
